Folks,
I'm am trying to write some biog-blurb to accompany the launch of my album.
There is a question that I have always found VERY difficult to answer. People ask me this question, and I go "Err... I don't know" and feel a bit like I "should" be able to answer this question, but just can't.
... and the question is: "What do you sound like?" ....
Seriously, I really don't know what to say when people ask me this, they look at me expectantly. The best I can think to say is "Er.. it's kind of acoustic and electronic", "Original", or "maybe I sound a bit like..." (but the artist I give is never like me)
You could REALLY help me here, by answering one or more of these three "easy" questions ;)
Question 1: Who do I sound like?
Question 2: What style is it?
Question 3: Describe my music in one short sentence...
There are 3 samples from my music here

(BTW - The current blurb on my site is supposed to be a joke :) - as I couldn't think of anything serious to say)
Or here:

Many, many thanks if you can help solve this mystery for me
Kind regards
Bendy

1) Fiona Apple's hangover
2) Polka-funk
3) Like if the Muzikas got drunk with a drum machine.
I haven't actually heard your samples, but I hope you sound like this.

Shoot a Hole in Your Soul is pure Lightfoot. I listened to a Lightfoot album yesterday, I've got Lightfoot on the brain. Lightfoot is the 33rd greatest Canadian ever.
1) I don't know, but your sampler and your guitar must be constantly fighting for your attention.
2) I can't argue with Jordan on this one
3) What if Lightfoot and Solvent humped backstage at a Primus show?
