2) Juliana Hatfield - Only Everything

Simplicity Is Beautiful is definately a top five track for me. Never get tired of that one.

Pinback - self titled
Qotsa - Rated R
Tv on the radio - cookie mountain (never expected to get into this but love them)
St Vincent - Strange Mercy
Tame Impala - Innerspeaker

For now. Tomorrow I'd have five new ones

God yes, that song (especially the solo) kills me every time.

St Vincent has also been a big inspiration for me recently, both with sounds (those cool broken synth/guitar things) and songwriting.

Yeah her use of synth and choppy guitar stuff is amazing, goes really well with her voice and melodic sensibility!

rust never sleeps
fun house
dopesmoker
you're living all over me
psychocandy

every time i play dirt pedal for the 1st time, i almost always try to dial in tones or play stuff inspired by these records.

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon
Black Sabbath-MoR
Red Sparowes-At the Soundless Dawn
Nirvana-From the Muddy Banks of Wishkah
Mogwai-Mr Beast

If we're speaking gear influence.

OMG, it's taken me a while to think about this. I don't really make gear purchases based on what other people are playing. Albums are out.

That being said:
Agharta & Pangaea Miles Davis (Pete Cosey's use of Jordan Bosstone)
Jimmy Nolen w/ James Brown (Acoustic Black Widow)
Os Mutantes Os Mutantes (fuzz)
I would buy a Magnatone Mark IV (or V), if I could find & afford one, because James Brewer played one in And This Is Free

Haha. Theyre pretty fucking great.

I'm not the kind of dude that looks for specific sounds much, but there are certain references, sometimes I find myself sounding like something and it makes me recognize it and smile and like it. Sometimes I do look for some stuff though.



Sonic Youth - ca. Goo era from when they were indie rock heroes
Shellac - Terraform (rarely happens, actually. But sometimes I dial in that sound on the Harmonic Percolator and have fun.)
Sigur Rós - Agætis Býrjun (Where's my bow? I haven't done this in ages!!)
Neu - Neu
Songs:Ohia - The Lioness (That reverb & OD!!)


There are some sounds I'd like to do, and I think they are all related to the HM-2. (Slint, Gore Slut, Damnation a.d.) But I keep delaying that buy, don't know why.
