7. Does ..20 have better lyrics or music?
+ Lyrics. If that songs doesn't make you want to cry, you are a communist.

Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart"

1. What are you listening to right now?
Wasted Life

2. What song makes you sad?
Lou Reed - The Bed

3. What is the most annoying song in the world?
Big Green Tractor... seriously the song is about romancing a girl by taking her for a ride on his tractor... and it plays at least twice a day at work unless I forcibly change the dial

4. Your all time favorite band?
yikes. The Screamers are always up there. Two Gallants and The Zounds are pretty high as well. velvet Undergound holds a special place in my heart. Billy Bragg and Leonard Cohen . Nick Cave in any iteration.

5. Your newly discovered band is?
lately I'm getting into Ramblin Jack Elliott

6. Best female voice?
hmm Ani DiFranco, Neko Case, Odetta, Anita Lane, Cat Power

7. Best male voice?
Leonard Cohen, Leadbelly, the guys from Two Gallants

8. Music type you find yourself listening to most?
70s punk; lately folk and blues

9. What do you listen to, to hype you up?
The Epoxies

10. What do you listen to when you want to calm down?
Belle and Sebastian

11. Last gig/concert you went to?
Jeffrey Lewis opened for that chick from The Moldy Peaches who did all the music for Juno. She was a bit much, but Jeffrey Lewis I would marry in a second. *hopes he's reading and waves*

12. Band you find yourself listening to the most right now?
lately I'm not hardcore into anything in specific

13. Most hated band?
whoever sings that fucking tractor song

14. Song that makes you think?
probably The Decemberists and B&S since they're a bunch of literary twats. Also, Crass makes me reconsider everything I believe.


15. Band that you think the world should love as much as you do?
Two Gallants and Kid Dakota; they're pretty much two of the only bands still touring I really love so it'd be awesome if they got famous enough to come visit dc on a regular basis.

16. Coolest music video?
Probably not what you mean, but Jeff Lewis and The Books both have visual accompaniments at their shows and both are very fucking cool. Jeff Lewis does his own comic book story things while The Books raid thrift stores, etc and splice together weird films. Both can be found on the you tube I'm sure.

17. Music video with the most babe watch?
I don't know I don't watch standard music videos.

18. What do you play/would you play in the bedroom to spice things up?
So into You as covered by Shudder to Think;

also if any attractive man wants to be the Janis Joplin to my Leonard Cohen(it's my fantasy, I get to receive), we can rent a room at the Chelsea Hotel and play the song and you know how it goes

19. Can you play a musical instrument?
nope
