 And apparently, he also sounds just like the Shins, the Beatles, the Pixies, Jay Farrar, Iron and Wine, Califone, the Velvet Underground, Bonnie Prince, Tom Waits and Jim O'Rourke.  Quite a talent, apparently.

That's funny...this is my favorite part.  I think he left off Steve Lillywhite and Lyle Lovett, but got everyone else in:

To me, it's odd that he names checks every band known to man EXCEPT the Flaming Lips, yet that's all anyone compares him to in his reviews.  
 
 By the way, search for "17 year old influenced" and you'll get an even larger list.  At least he's dedicated.

Pro-Tools

[Samantha]

so who's gonna buy it and give us the review?

[nkotb]

I thought about it when I first found it.  After all, considering he sounds like some of the greatest bands from the last 10 years all at the same time, it's gotta be good, right?

We should all start bidding on it and get it into the thousands. Then five minutes before the end of the auction retract all our bids.

My luck, my computer would crash just as I was trying to retract. The BIG crash. You now, when it sees that big blue light that it follows into computer heaven.

 Who else thinks the caption for this photo should read "I Like Dong."

[nkotb]

Actually, I'm guessing it would read "I like dong, cock, dick, weiner, boner, meat and hog."
