Remember That I Love You
by Kimya Dawson
Kimya Dawson is probably the biggest influence on my songwriting, she's a very talented lyricist & a wonderful person too. This album is my go-to when I'm having a bad day and need some inspiration.

The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane and other favorites (2001) ($8)
by Jeffrey Lewis
Jeffrey Lewis is pretty much a genius, he's a great songwriter and also a great illustrator. This album is one of the records that got me into the genre and got me writing the sort of music I make.

Maybe my all-time favourite songwriter. I loved his work in The Weakerthans but his solo stuff is great too. At times he's witty & funny, other times heartbreaking in his honesty. This album's great.
