acknowledging your own influences is for retards

its just that the 'wacky' juxtapositions of the pop culture & "high" culture stuff seem so forced. makes me recoil.

Yeah, I think it's funny when bands reel off huge lists of acceptable hip acts as influences. It's a really desperate and neurotic way to say: "Hey! We're not some gormless hick bar band, we're cool doods!"

Influences: "My inability to escape my own crippling depression."
