Been playing guitar since I was a teenager. I was really into pop punk like Green Day and Weezer then moved my interest towards Brit Pop like Blur and Oasis. In college I listened to Pete Yorn and 2pac then in my mid twenties I was listening to indie bands like The Strokes and Interpol. Then before I turned 30 I was really into the dream pop disco movement on the Onternet like Cassette Memory and Washed Out. Then rock got to weak and I turned to southern grimy rap like Juicy J and Future (Pluto was the best mixed album of the last 10 years, for real) now I'm listening to Nirvana's Nevermind and Peter Gabriel's So which both reminds me of Michael Jackdon's Thriller in that it's filled with really tight pop songs.
