01. What's your favorite song by Neutral Milk Hotel?
"Two-Headed Boy, Part Two".

02. How did you get into Felt?
Kathrin put "All the People I Like Are Those That Are Dead" on a mixtape for me, and I fell hard for Lawrence.

03. Who is your favorite member in Orange Juice?
I'm probably contractually obliged to say Edwyn Collins, but I do have a soft spot for the songs by James Kirk.

04. What's your favorite lyric by The Magnetic Fields?
this is an unreasonably difficult question. actually, no:
"I could dress in black and read Camus / Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth / Like I was seventeen, that would be a scream / But I Don't Want to Get Over You."

05. Have you ever seen Sufjan Stevens live?
yes, in fact!

06. What's your favorite album from The Shins?
Wincing the Night Away.

07. Do you own any merchandise from The National?
nothing, sadly. (not even a tote bag from Wicker Park.)

08. What is a good memory you have of The New Pornographers?
dancing around my room to "Graceland" while packing for college.

09. Is there a member of the same age as you in Belle and Sebastian?
hahaha, no. they are all much older.

10. When did you first get into The Shins?
2003, right after Chutes Too Narrow was released. I heard "New Slang" on the college radio station and it was downhill from there.

11. Who likes The Smiths along with you?
many, many people. on my last.fm friends list, primarily Kathrin.

12. Which song did you first hear from of Montreal?
"So Begins Our Alabee", on a Polyvinyl sampler.

13. What song made you fall in love with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah?
I believe it was "Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood", after some blog described it as "David Byrne fronting The Cure".

14. Which song do you not like by The Only Ones?
there are actually quite a few, shamefully, but my least favorite is probably "Deadly Nightshade".

15. Why do you like Morrissey?
what a question! his stunning voice (even at such an age), his splendid pop sensibilities, his terrific way around a witty, erudite lyric...

16. Where did you first hear Voxtrot?
oh, wow, I don't actually know. I think I heard "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, and Wives" on a blog somewhere right after it came out, but I didn't really start to love them until I heard "The Start of Something".

17. How long were The Jesus and Mary Chain a band before you liked them?
haha. they were a band for sixteen years and weren't a band for three before I liked them.

18. Does Matthew Sweet have a song that gives you a bad memory?
well, yes. most of his songs are irrevocably linked to certain memories for me, but "Someone to Pull the Trigger" and "Life Without You" are the worst.

19. When did you get into The Cure?
the winter of sixth grade, when my brother burned a copy of Staring at the Sea: The Singles for me.

20. How long have you been into The Jesus and Mary Chain?
seven years.

21. If Jens Lekman had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
well, I can't drive. but if someone else were going, I would certainly consider it.

22. How many The Replacements albums do you own?
christ. nine, not counting bootlegs and unreleased compilations.

23. Do Vampire Weekend have a song that makes you cry?
hahaha, definitely not.

24. Do The Wedding Present have a song that makes you happy?
of course! especially "This Boy Can Wait".

25. Do Wilco have a song that makes you smile?
yes indeed. "Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway (Again)" is a guaranteed smile-maker.

26. What's the last song you've listened to of Guided by Voices?
"Twilight Campfighter".

27. Is there a song by Elvis Costello and the Attractions that you've listened to more than 30 times?
"(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes", though my statistics don't show it... that was mostly in seventh grade.

28. What is a song from Joanna Newsom that you've only listened to once?
"Three Little Babes". NEVER AGAIN.

29. Is there a song you are sick of hearing by Robyn Hitchcock and The Egyptians?
I am not really a fan of "The Fly".

30. What song got you into Echo and the Bunnymen?
"Bring on the Dancing Horses", once again via the local college station.

31. What is your favorite single by Bright Eyes?
single? probably "If The Brakeman Turns My Way".

32. If The Weakerthans hated you, what would you do?
I would be really upset, probably. and regret not seeing them when I could have in September, before I learned of this sad development.

33. What would you say if one of the members from R.E.M. asked you out?
um, accept, obviously!! I don't care that all of them are either over fifty or almost there (yes, Michael, this means you). we would be the May/December romance for the ages.

34. Would you care if Editors had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
of course. I demand that Tom Smith remain perpetually single.

35. Who has the best voice in The Posies?
I prefer Jon Auer's songs.

36. Do you think Elvis Costello and the Attractions are good looking?
haha, I was actually just talking about this today. yes.

37. How many times have you listened to your favorite song by Arcade Fire?
I have apparently only listened to "Intervention" 11 times. this might be wrong.

38. How many CDs do you own of Sparks?
I actually only own Kimono My House, but my mother has most everything else on vinyl.

39. Is there a song from Radiohead that makes you mad?
I don't think so.

40. Which member from Yo La Tengo do you want to see go solo?
I actually really like Dump, a.k.a. James McNew's side project. but I wouldn't want Ira and Georgia to split up.

41. What does your favorite song from The Velvet Underground remind you of?
"Sweet Jane" ... actually, reminds me of standing on the corner with a suitcase in my hand. hahaha. presumably because whenever I find myself in that situation, I start singing that song.

42. Did you hate Hüsker Dü at first?
no, I just thought they were really noisy. and Grant Hart was super cute. whatever, I was a twelve-year-old with priorities.

43. Does your best friend also listen to The Hold Steady?
haha, yes. although not without reservations. (no lyrics about Pringles cans, please.)

44. Do you think your parents would like The Broken West?
both my parents love them, actually.

45. Do Pixies have a song that makes you want to dance?
who doesn't dance to Debaser?

46. Have you ever seen Joy Division live?
yes. that time when I time-travelled.

47. Do you like The Broken West's name?
I guess so. I like it better than their previous name, "The Brokedown".

48. Is there someone in Paul Westerberg that you want to go out with?
this question is adorable. yes, I want to go out with the teenager in Paul Westerberg who wore his heart on his sleeve, rode his bike everywhere, and kissed girls under bridges on autumn nights, as described in "First Glimmer".

49. Do you know anyone that hates Shearwater?
I don't believe so.

50. Have you ever danced to a song from Sigur Rós?
it's probably happened.

NME published a list of the top 100 albums of the start of this century along with a top 100 tracks one and now instead of just reading it, I decided to also do some thing with it.
My problem with NME lists is, that they're pretty narrow minded with their focus on mostly british and US music. But since this was the first list I came across, I'll use this one, starting with the places 100 till 51.
