Yes. True.
1. The wig. It looks like crap and he just fucking loves it.
2. His whole approach to the guitar. It sounds like crap but he just loves it.
Both of those qualities are pretty rad, just being enthusiastic about what you're doing and who you are.
3. I was watching a clinic of his during a night of semi-random youtube clicking, and his one piece of advice was whatever you start make sure you finish it.
I thought that was actually pretty simple and decent advice. So instead of jamming on new riffs and having fun I went back and reworked a75% complete song and finished it. And I really like the result.
Thanks MAB.

Someone smart (Horats?) once said that we suck every piece of art we enjoy into our own expression, constantly evolving it.

I get the strong impression that he is also the president of the Michael Angelo Batio fan club

Do you find that you're likely to run with a new influence and have it saturate your work for a while, or do you try to implement certain aspects into your pre-existing sound/identity? I have to watch myself
sometimes to not get too infatuated with an influence and try to do something that isn't really me.

I usually just add to my pre-existing sound. It can be hard sometimes to not become too caught up in a certain vibe, at least for me, so I often switch what I listen to intentionally. Sometimes it's fun to just do a track in a "foreign" style though, to see what I can do in a different context. But at heart I'll always be a noisy shoegazer.
There's big seasonal changes in climate up here, so I find that I usually make heavier and darker stuff during winter and more airy, melodic stuff during summer. But it varies, as climate isn't the only factor to affect my mood. Anybody else feeling this?
