Monsieur Herr

General

Mutation of the popular music form, vinyl record collecting, rudimentary graphic design, clever wordplay, em dashes, semicolons, the fictional characters I invented who live inside my brain, black coffee (in and out of bed), conceptual continuity, Hawaiian shirts, shamrock suits, playing bass guitar upside down, cat petting, trivial musical factoids, chicken parmesan, and Oxford commas

Too many for a concise list—for starters, and in no particular order: The Beatles, Sparks, They Might Be Giants, XTC, Bowie, Elvis Costello, Squeeze, Nick Lowe, Yellow Magic Orchestra, DEVO, Gleaming Spires, Talking Heads, Prince, Zhir Vengersky, The Tubes, Thomas Dolby, Pixies, The Replacements, Buzzcocks, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Kraftwerk, Miles Davis, King Crimson, Kate Bush, Joe Jackson, Weird Al, Heaven 17, Zappa, Beefheart, Steely Dan, The Damned, The Kinks, Oingo Boingo, ABBA, Eno, Warren Zevon, Wall of Voodoo, Ween, The Weeknd, Tame Impala (just one guy), etc etc, my god when will this list end

Movies
