1. What's your favorite song by 15? (Panda Bear)
Bros because it's just fucking epic. Take Pills is a close second.

2. How did you get into 20? (Pixies)
frankie-wilde sent me Monkey Gone to Heaven and another person from school was into them, and suggested I listen to all of Doolittle. I did, and I liked.

3. Who is your favourite member in 1? (Black Moth Super Rainbow)
Tobacco IS Black Moth Super Rainbow, pretty much. It was pretty awesome to actually meet him.

4. Whats your favourite lyric bit by 29? (Ryan Adams)
Ryan Adams has never really been known for his lyrics, and it's definitely not why I listen to him... Maybe "Here comes that shit again"

5. Have you ever seen 22 live? (Ratatat)
Nope. Not sure what their live show is even like, to be honest.

6. What's your favourite album from 10? (Handsome Furs)
Plague Park is interesting, but is nothing compared to Face Control. Such a sick album.

7. Do you own any merchandise from 3? (Beck)
No...but I wish I could raid his wardrobe or something.

8. What is a good memory you have of 7? (Tobacco)
Definitely would have to be going to his concert in a tiny, tiny bar, and getting to meet him afterwards, as well as Seven Fields, the other member of the band. Quiet guy, but very nice and let me take a picture with him!

9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2? (Animal Collective)
Pretty sure they're all almost 30, if not already, with wives and kids. I'm 19...so no.

10. When did you first get into 8? (Wolf Parade)
Probably 2007-ish while in high school. Got into everything Dan Boeckner and Spencer Krug related in that time.

11. Who likes 4 along with you? (Kings of Leon)
Fuckin' everyone.

12. Which song did you first hear from 16? (Sunset Rubdown)
Probably something off Random Spirit Lover. The Taming of the Hands That Came Back to Life was one of my early faves.

13. What song made you fall in love with 5? (Elliott Smith)
Coming Up Roses, for sure.

14. Which song do you not like by 18? (Lightning Bolt)
I only really listen to Wonderful Rainbow on a consistent basis. Pretty much everything else by them is hit and miss with me.

15. Why do you like 14's songs? (Ween)
Do I really have to explain? Ween are classy as hell.

16. Where did you first hear 6? (WHY?)
Downloaded Alopecia completely at random. I heard OF them because Tobacco is on the same label, but never gave them a shot until one day. Best decision ever.

17. How long was 19 a band before you liked them? (Frog Eyes)
No idea. Got into them in 2007ish through the Spencer Krug connection. Wikipedia says they were formed in 2001, so I guess 6 years would be the answer. Not even sure if I still like them, though.

18. Does 13 have a song that gives you a bad memory? (Fleet Foxes)
Absolutely not. Fleet Foxes are my 'happy' band.

19. When did you get into 17? (A.C. Newman)
Probably again in high school, 2007ish. Not sure how I got into him, I think I just downloaded The Slow Wonder at random one day.

20. How long have you been into 9? (The National)
Later in my high school career, I think. They were a bit of an acquired taste.

21. If 11 had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them? (Lone)
Seeing how he's from England and hasn't ever come to North America, it's possible I would.

22. How many CDs do you own of 12? (Sufjan Stevens)
Does burned count if it was given as a gift? If so, one (Michigan).

23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry? (Interpol)
A lot of their songs are depressing-sounding, but I can't say Interpol has ever made me feel like crying.

24. Does 27 have a song that makes you happy? (Tenacious D)
haha fucking right they do. They have an entire album that makes me happy.

25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile? (The Strokes)
Anything off Room on Fire makes me smile, because it brings back memories.

26. What's the last song you've listened to from 28? (The New Pornographers)
All the Things That Go to Make Heaven and Earth, because I'm using it in an assignment.

27. Is there a song by 32 that you've listened to more than 30 times? (The Black Keys)
I’ve probably listened to I Got Mine and Your Touch 30 times each, at least.

28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once? (Queens of the Stone Age)
First It Giveth

29. Is there a song you are sick of hearing by 24? (Battles)
I played the fuck outta Atlas a while back. I go through a phase where all I can listen to is Battles, though, so I can't really classify it as being "sick of."

30. What song got you into 40? (Black Dice)
Glazin got me interested, Roll Up got me hooked.

31. What is your favourite single by 25? (Radiohead)
Paranoid Android is too good to overlook. I was tempted to go with something from In Rainbows, but Paranoid Android it is.

32. If 49 hated you, what would you do? (Yeasayer)
Stop caring about them? I find it hard that somebody would hate me though, because I'm epic as fuck.

33. What would you say if 42 or one of the members from 42 asked you out? (Coldplay)
Tell them that I'm not a fag, but thanks for the offer.

34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend? (Vampire Weekend)
Hah.

35. Who has the best voice in 46? (Pink Floyd)
They aren't really known for their vocals, but Roger Waters is pretty cool.

36. Do you think 26 is/are good looking? (Kid Cudi)
The man is a sex machine.

37. How many times have you listened to your favourite song by 36? (Muse)
I don't think I have a favourite Muse song, to be honest.

38. How many CDs do you own of 30? (Swan Lake)
None.

39. Is there a song from 38 that makes you mad? (Maniac Meat)
Fuck no, Maniac Meat/Tobacco make me want to get up and dance.

40. Which member from 31 do you want to see go solo? If 31 is only one artist, what would you do if they joined a group? (Dinosaur Jr.)
Well a couple Dino Jr. albums are practically J. Mascis solo albums, so it's been done.

41. What does your favourite song from 48 remind you of? (Neil Young)
Needle And The Damage Done? Hard drugs...and their consequences, I guess.

42. Did you hate 43 at first? (The Clash)
I was raised on The Clash, broski.

43. Does your best friend also listen to 33? (The Shins)
I don't believe I know anyone that listens to The Shins on a regular basis, quite honestly.

44. Do you think your parents would like 37? (Billy Talent)
My parents do like Billy Talent.

45. Does 47 have a song that makes you want to dance? (My Morning Jacket)
Not really. El Caporal kinda makes me sway my head at times.

46. Have you ever seen 34 in person? (The Beatles)
I WISH. They only broke up/died before I was born.

47. Do you like 44's name? (Thom Yorke)
Classy move keeping the H in Thomas. Seeing "Tom Yorke" with 21,485 plays makes me angry though.

48. Is there someone in 45 that you want to go out with? (TV on the Radio)
Nah. Too indie.

49. Do you know anyone that hates 39? (satanstompingcaterpillars)
I dare anyone to hate SSC. DARE YOU.

50. Have you ever danced to a song from 35? (Death From Above 1979)
Every song is like an epic dance session in my pants. And they inspired my current display picture, so props to them.

I've had many crushes in my young life; I've even been in love a few times; however, I've reached a point where I've lost that tingle in my trousers.

When I was in high school I had a lot of false alarms. I was quick to say "I love you", but did so without even really knowing what true love was. I flung that love out to whatever was hot and on the radio willing to put out.

I graduated to college, where I found my first TRUE love: Underground Hip-Hop. A bit of Blue Scholars, a dabble of Sweatshop Union, some Jedi Mind Tricks. I started doing things like making mixed CDs for them--that's when you know you're caught up.

This was a long-standing relationship, one that I still haven't put behind me. We continued to age and grow together. I added Atmosphere, MF DOOM, Common, Living Legends, and so on and so forth. At some point, I needed something new.

Like any good Bro Namath in college, I let Jack Johnson dote on me. How else could me and my fellow Bro-do Baggins's get down, while playing Halo and trying to get girls naked? Like all relationships rooted in sex, this one saw its fair share of problems... It became more of a niche- a hit it and quit it, if you will- good for rainy days, studying, and impressing girls. I needed more inspiration.

Enter: The Black Keys. This was the party girl, dancing on a table top, grabbing everyone's attention with her boisterous personality. How could you not like her? Yeah, she's loud; maybe slightly obnoxious to some; but, she pulled me in like no other. It was something different than I'd ever felt before. She opened my eyes to entirely new genres.

Lately, The Black Keys- along with other garage, blues, honey-drip vocals, alt rock groups- have been constantly on my mind. White Stripes, Heartless Bastards, Raconteurs. Somewhere, though, in a small crevice in the curls of my brain, is a thought. A thought that it's possible I could stray; I could find something on the side that will give me butterflies in my stomach like when I was a kid; something that will give me that wet-my-pants joy.

I need help though. That is why I've made this want ad. I need an artist or group that I can fall in love with. I'm not looking for one or two tracks; I'm not even looking for one or two albums; I'm looking for a band with an ENTIRE CATALOG that is worth cop[ping/ulating]. I want something lip-biting, cum-in-my-pants good.

Look, I'll always love you, baby, but it's time to find something new to reinvigorate my life.

Can you be that group? [Please, let me know!!!]
