I love the Pixies! And Is She Weird has a great drum line, super easy.
Rock, totally.
I like Talking Heads and Dead Milkman-- I tend to go more punk than the weird Talking Heads kind of stuff. Sonic Youth? Bull in the Heather would sound amazing with that axe of yours.
Check out the White Stripes, they were a drum and guitar duo, we could be like them.
