"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
WHYYYYYYYYY DON'T YOU LIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!?!"

How many times have you seen 5 live?
None, but they're young.

What is your favorite song by 7?
"No Time, No Hope." Actually, that's the only song of theirs I like.

Seeing them play in Cleveland with my Dad a couple years ago, or first listening to "Swans (Life After Death)" in Luke's car on the way back from Best Buy and being thoroughly impressed with what I heard.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Ya picked the wrong artist.

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
Haven't paid too much attention. I like the instrumentals better.

What is your favorite song by 9?
"Third Uncle"

How did you get into 3?
I think I read somewhere that they were like a precursor to Art Brut and it piqued my interest. Goddamn what a wonderful find that was.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
Good question. Could've been "She Don't Use Jelly," could've been "The Spiderbite Song" for some reason, could've even been "Do You Realize??" although I'm not sure if that song came out before or after I'd first heard of the Lips.

What is your favorite song by 4?
"My Surrender"

How many time have you seen 9 live?
Never.

What is a good memory you have involving 2?
Being blown away by the altissimo sax notes at the end of "Tank!" for the first time way back when. Holy balls.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
No. It's No Age. Their stuff is pretty nice and heavy.

What is your favorite album of 5?
They only have one.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
"Is you child hyperactive or is he perhaps a twat
Sometimes I like to watch wave rage down at Fistral beach
Last Ash Wednesday I had tantric sex and it was shit
Next Ash Wednesday I might strive to lick my elbow"
- From "Surging Out of Convalescence"

What is your favorite song of 1?
So many to choose from... "Moth in the Incubator," "The Gash," "Pompeii Am Gotterdammerung," "Silver Trembling Hands"...

What is your favorite song of 10?
Probably "The Arm"

How many times have you seen 8 live?
Once. So loud. So good.

What is your favorite album of 1?
"The Soft Bulletin," but I tell ya, "Embryonic" is getting there. We'll see if the last two tracks seal the deal or not.

What is a great memory you have considering 9?
John Palmer telling me to go listen to "Third Uncle" after I heard it in a promo for his show.

What was the first song you heard by 8?
Probably "Eraser" like the rest of the world, because I don't know shit.

What is your favorite cover by 3?
Never heard them cover anything outside of their delightfully skewed versions of old traditional tunes.

Technically a compilation - The Singles: 1969-1973

What is your favourite lyric that 4 has sung?
From "Where Do You Run To:"
"It's alright, just leave the light on
I will never ask you why
Once you've gone remains the question baby
Where do you go?

Where do you run to baby?"
(more than one, I know - it's the whole song!)

Never, but he's still performing, so hopefully someday!

What is your favorite song by 7?
"Walkabout" - the one with Noah Lennox/Panda Bear.

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
I don't have a specific memory pertaining to Deerhunter. I just really love Cryptograms.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
It's really dependent on mood. Songs from Out of Time make me melancholy sometimes, particularly "Half a World Away" and "Belong."

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
From "All We Know:"
"Let's take a lot of time to say
I knew you well
For only time
Will tell so
And love may grow
For all we know"

What is your favorite song by 9?
I don't have a favorite yet because I just started listening to them. :|

How did you get into 3?
I didn't necessarily grow up with them, but it was one of those bands in my formative years that was always present. I vaguely remember Automatic for the People being released, but I was four years old then. I didn't really pay attention to R.E.M. until I was fifteen, when I listened to Document all the way through. I guess it went from there.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
That would have to be "Memory," since that's what the first episode of Cowboy Bebop opens with.

What is your favorite song by 4?
I'm still not sure.

How many time have you seen 9 live?
Never. D:

What is a good memory you have involving 2?
Just growing up in general. The Carpenters were something that my Mom always kept in the house. She wouldn't play them often, but she loved them anyway. I remember being seven years old and seeing an infomercial for their Love Songs compilation, and I absolutely loved the music.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
I have mixed feelings about all of Adorable's material. Against Perfection is a stellar album, but I associate it with my ex-boyfriend. Sometimes it makes me happy, sometimes it makes me sad, sometimes it turns into a clusterfuck of emotions. But I think the only song that still really gets me is "Have You Seen the Light."

What is your favorite album of 5?
Off White, which was under the James White and the Blacks name.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
There are so many! No way I can pick a favorite.

What is your favorite song of 1?
"Adieu" and "Dijurido" are tied.

What is your favorite song of 10?
I don't know if I'd settle on FAVORITE favorite, but I like the intro track to Cryptograms a lot.

How many times have you seen 8 live?
None. They're not even a band anymore. D:

What is your favorite album of 1?
Either Blue or Future Blues. But really, all their material is awesome.

What is a great memory you have considering 9?
None yet - again, just started listening to them.

What was the first song you heard by 8?
Uhhhhh I wanna say "Still Life," but it really could have been anything. My dad played both albums constantly when I was a kid.

What is your favorite cover by 3?
"Femme Fatale," I guess.

Sunflower (If you didnt already guess from the title,) currently unsigned band from Leicester in the UK, so If you're a fan of quite laid back rock with a jazzy touch and catchy melodies, or imagine that'd be your cup of tea (English cliches ftw) then check them out at the below links. The vocals might take some getting used to, but once you do they work well and the band plays some tightly performed and well written tunes, evoking some nice atmosphere but with a good pop sensibility.

http://www.last.fm/music/Sunflower


You can now find full track plays of 5 of their songs on an album of recordings from their first session a few months ago here:
http://www.last.fm/music/Sunflower/Sunflower+Demo
Sunflower Demo

And also 2 tracks they recorded for a local radio station, Demon FM.
http://www.last.fm/music/Sunflower/Live+at+Demon+FM
Live at Demon FM

There are other artists called Sunflower on that page, but only those recordings so far are the Leicester area group.

P.s. Not my band.

1. Bright Eyes - Conor, you are a bit whiny for my taste. You sound sort of like you haven't reached puberty yet. But other than that, I fucking love you to pieces. You are amazing, and most of the "bad" things I thought of were things that make you so great.

2. Blink 182 - You broke up, and it sucks. Most of your songs don't have meaning for someone over the age of 18. And Tom, you are a douchebag.

3. Jack's Mannequin - Most of your songs sound the same, and I'm not a huge fan of the new album in general. A couple songs are alright, but it was a disappointment to me. You never come to Colorado, and you were pretty boring live.

4. Panic at the Disco: I kind of really want you off my top. You went from being irritating but unique to Beatles wannabes. You have your own right to change, I guess, but I feel the dramatics are for show.

5. Forgive Durden: Oh geez...This is tough. Razia's Shadow took forever to come out (and I LOVE it). Uh...Your music video for Life Is Looking Up is odd. And Thomas, you seemed depressed when I met you.

6. Mindless Self Indulgence: You are rude for the sake of being rude. Your lyrics don't have any depth, and most of your songs sound the same.

7. ORANGE RANGE: Well, you're in Japan, so I don't really know how you are as people, or what a lot of your lyrics mean. Uh...you don't ever plan on coming to America. And it sucks.

8. The Killers: Cocky as shit. Day and Age is kind of meh, as was Sawdust. I like your old stuff hella more.

9. My Chemical Romance: You have won the hearts of every prepubescent girl ever. The Black Parade was kind of a lame concept, but somehow, I enjoy you. Total sellouts, but meh.

10. Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog: Uh...there's not enough of you for everyone to enjoy. I want more!

11. Nightmare of You: Not a fan of the new stuff you've released recently. I love the self titled. Also, you never go outside of NYC.

12. Conor Oberst: I don't like some of the songs on the album, I guess. And, when making the album, you were gone for a hella long time.

13. Something Corporate: I don't really know how you got so high on my top. I don't like you all that much. You remind me far too much of a couple of years ago, in a more bitter than sweet sort of way. You are practically dead, and Andrew probably will never revive you.

14. the pillows: You are crazy Japanese stoners. Your videos are kind of frightening. Everyone loves you because of FLCL, but I actually like you for you. Most of your stuff sounds the same.

15. I Hate Kate:You should have stayed small.

16. BEAT CRUSADERS: A lot of your songs are alike. You don't have that much out. You are extremely far away.

17. Jimmy Eat World: I don't remember ever listening to you that much, but maybe that's because your album is kind of a blur. None of your songs stick out that much in my mind.

18 The Seatbelts: You don't match any of my other tastes. You don't exist outside of Cowboy Bebop.

19. Single File: I miss you when they played Zombies Ate My neighbors almost every day. You seem to have disappeared. I want you back!

20. Motion City Soundtrack: I don't really think you're anything all that special. Some of your songs amuse me, but I don't love you like I used to.
