36 CrazyfistsHaven't done one of these for aaggggeees. I believe they were invented for 4am amid ill-timed caffeine imbibing?
1. How did you get into 29?
Animal Collective - 'Fireworks' was given away on some free comp CD, I believe. Then they cemented that with a sensory overload at ATP May 2008. I swear it wasn't because P4K threatened me at gunpoint.....SWEAR!
2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Suicide File - It was live and I didn't know them then, so I forget. Bought the CD there, though, so it'd be the first (and title) track on 'Twilight'.
3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
The Raconteurs - 2, debut physically and sophomore digitally (legal, honest RIAA).
4. What is your favorite song by 15?
36 Crazyfists - 'Kenai' always does it for me.
5. What is your favorite song by 5?
TV on the Radio - More about the albums as a whole with these guys for me, but 'Blues From Down Here' certainly is a jam.
6. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Mastodon - Oh my yes, there are many but just past the 4 minute mark of 'The Czar' they break from slow and meditative into the most heroic riffing. Always perks me up.
7. What is your favorite song by 10?
Aereogramme (R.I.P.) - 'Barriers' ("Let me tell the truth/Let me come alive/Let me build bridges into your life")
8. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Coheed & Cambria - Seeing Claudio play guitar with his teeth at the Agora in Cleveland sticks with me, for some reason.
9. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
Killswitch Engage - Their cover of 'Holy Diver' is particularly overblown and never fails to cause a grin.
10. How many times have you seen 25 live?
Isis - Just the once in Sheffield and it was utterly mind-blowing.
11. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
The Shins - 'Phantom Lib'. Took me many listens for the subtle loveliness to sink in, for some reason. Fool.
12. What is your favorite album by 11?
The Bronx - No. 2, inventively entitled The Bronx II, is probably the best.
13. Who is a favorite member of 1?
Tool - Can't really see past the enigma of Maynard James Keenan, despite the talent of the others.
