Since I love random praise from strangers (in reference to my music, although if you’d like to praise me for other things, feel free), I Google myself sometimes. Today I found that I have one fan on iLike, some woman in Seattle who says “Listen to CHECK YOUR POCKETS: http://www.myspace.com/sunilsawani - smoothness of Jose Gonzales, fresh peppiness of Beatles, ease of My Morning Jacket…” and “Just a lovey [sic] group of sounds!”… Anyway, I thought those were interesting comparisons. I haven’t ever heard much Jose Gonzales, but I am pretty sure I am nothing like him. But hey, random praise is much appreciated, and I’m always interested in hearing the comparisons. Sometimes people are pretty much right on and I have to admit it (like when an acquaintance, upon seeing The Low Hello perform said “I know what you’re like! A cross between Weezer and Neutral Milk Hotel!”, and I had to say, “Yeah, you’re kinda right, I guess.”)…
Anyway, because of this, I was inspired to actually sign up for iLike and also uploaded some songs at Last.fm… Thank you random Seattle lady, for making me make an effort, albeit small.
