OK, so maybe things have changed a little...?

Citing influences as varied as 'bargin scotch, fats waller, long nights in, arrogance, all the girls I got with, all the girls I never got with,' his music displays the alcohol laced, rambling blues of The Birthday Party, Tom Waits and John Lee Hooker.?
