I am in eternal debt to my influences. In general, each of these artists made me rethink my relationship to this world, and inspired me to express myself. I am not a confident person, but somehow reminding myself of the achievements and sacrifice of these influences keeps me going even when i feel like I'm creating stuff on an island.

For now, only a list, and maybe some links. Let's hope Unamerican takes off, I don't have to get a day job for a long time, and I'm able to flesh out this page.

lame, suck-ass day jobs - reminding me how important it is to find work that doesn't suck!!!

Lungfish - an incredible band that can only be described as taoist indiepunk - if you like r.e.m.'s old stuff, prepare to be blown away!
