Anonymous asked: I've seen a lot of interviews where the guys have talked about musical influences/ fave bands etc... Do you know of any place where all of that is compiled neatly somewhere? The Strokes are my favourite band and I wouldn't mind getting turned on to some new music. Thanks for having this awesome blog.
I don’t know of a place where all of their influences and favorites are really listed straight out, but The Velvet Underground, Television, The...

Whenever I listen to this album, I get at least one song stuck in my head, sometimes for days. High-energy highlights include: “All The Wars,” “Summer Away,” “Boys In The Bathtub,” and “Goodbye To The Factory.” Each track is pretty incredible, though I’ll admit a couple of them take a few listens…
Stayed up until FOUR THIRTY IN THE GODDAMN MORNING to finish this
It took a SHIT TON longer than I thought it would. Mostly because I had to go through and distinguish what actually has had a large (enough) influence on me and what was simply a favourite thing/artist.
BUT I DID IT. WHOO.
(Basically I asked myself, “Did I look at that and then change my art style/the way I did something/themes I use because of it?” and that made EVERYTHING easier)
SO HERE. HAVE WHAT HAS LARGELY INFLUENCED ME.
Note: This is what has influenced the art you see from me today. Had I done this a couple years ago, there would be a lot more anime in it - InuYasha, FLCL, etc. This stuff you see here is what you may find pieces of in my art tag.
Another note: everything with a username type label is the exact username for their deviantART, in case you’d like to browse their stuff.

My influences… including some that aren’t interests anymore (such as Takeuchi) but were so important to me years ago that I have to include them.
My biggest influences.

P!nk
Ellen Degeneres

This song perfectly represents exactly what I was trying to do with my comics for most of 2011. I only wish I had the capacity to create something quite as perfect as this

Decided to doodle and think about influences cause of Mia
I think my older, manga-era influences are from Naoko Takeuchi, Ai Yazawa, and Hisaya Nakajo. I didn’t read a lot of other, non-supa-shoujo comics and these ladies drew the ones I was most fixated on. I distinctly remembering early on figuring out how to draw mouths because of Hana Kimi.
Nowadays EK Weaver and Amanda Lafrenais are my artistic faves. EK’s art is like, what I wish I could do, like literally what the fuck that is everything I want out of my art. And Amanda’s I could stare at for hours. There’s something so adorable and sexy and fascinating and I wanna draw like that dammit
This has been a dumb post
Influence Party part II
I previously talked about some of my artistic influences, now I am going to talk about some more of them.
“Faced with an album this new and this great, DiCrescenzo paid it the highest compliment he could think of: he made a list of Radiohead’s influences. In just over 1,200 words, he managed to mention the John Coltrane album Olé, C. S. Lewis, the Warp Records label, Terry Gilliam’s animations for Monty Python, David Bowie and Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, Björk, and, finally, the White Album. “It’s clear that Radiohead must be the greatest band alive,” he wrote, “if not the best since you know who.” (He means the Beatles.) “It was a watershed moment for us,” Schreiber later said of the Kid A review. “We got linked from all the Radiohead fan sites, which were really big. We got this huge flood of traffic, like five thousand people in a day checking out that one review. We had never seen anything like that. Web boards were talking about our review.” Of course, the review told you little about Radiohead’s music that you couldn’t have heard on your own, but it told you everything about what kind of cultural company Radiohead was meant to keep. This technique became Pitchfork’s signature style.”

Oh my god, this speaks VOLUMES.
