That's interesting because a lot of your acoustic songs sound like early-90's indie rock like Sebadoh or Guided By Voices. I find it more than a little strange that a musician doesn't actually listen to music, but to each his own I guess. On one hand, I can see that developing your own sound without any outside influence would be quite personally rewarding, but at the same time I couldn't imagine being a musician who doesn't listen to music. I'm constantly learning new things just by passively absorbing the ideas and techniques of the musicians I listen to, which makes it easier (imo) to develop my own musical style. I can respect divergence from musical norms (like I've said before, I dig some of your work) but at the same time refusing to listen music baffles me.
