1. What's your favorite song by 14?
Favorite song by
The Thermals...I don't know anymore. Maybe
Here's Your Future, nowadays. I don't listen to them like I used to.
2. How did you get into 20?
of Montreal was just one of those bands that I had heard about for years and just never bothered to check out for a long time. Based on the other bands I like, it was inevitable that I would hear about them some time.
3. Who is your favorite member in 8?
Does anyone care about anyone in
Portishead other than Beth? No offense, beat-maker guys.
4. Whats your favorite lyric bit by 29?
The Shins - probably the whole chorus to
Mine's Not a High Horse.
5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
I totally had the chance to see
Say Hi/
Say Hi to Your Mom in Brooklyn two months ago, but things just didn't work out. Balls.
6. What's your favorite album from 10?
Favorite
Beck album is
Modern Guilt. I love the whole thing. Can't keep clinging to the past.
7. Do you own any merchandise from 3?
I have a t-shirt and a button.
Tegan and Sara are merch masters. Lesbians snatch that shit up.
8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
Oh snap. So
Noah Sow & Das Heimlich Maneuver don't exactly exist in that incarnation anymore. Noah has a new band called Noiseaux. And every interaction I have ever had with Noah leaves a fond memory. The most obvious is our beer drinking at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2?
Sonic Youth are all old farts by now, yeah? :)
10. When did you first get into 1?

11. Who likes 4 along with you?
Man, I bet a solid 50% of the people I know like

Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the radio, when

21. If 9 had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
If
Lamb still existed, I would totally drive to see them. And I'd probably cry. They are a big deal.
22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
I have 8
Ani DiFranco albums. And yes, all on CD, believe it or not.
23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?

Hooverphonic - I'm usually pretty happy after
Innervoice.
25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
Oh dear. All super old
Lenny Kravitz songs make me smile just because they make me remember how great I thought he was when I was 13. And I just laugh and laugh at my teenage earnestness.

Michael Franks -
Love is a chain reaction
27. Is there a song by 32 that you've listened to more than 30 times?
The Prids - Not yet, according to iTunes.
28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once?
Nelly Furtado - eh, none. Unless I randomly heard something off the new album somewhere.
29. Is there a song you are sick of hearing by 24?
Interpol - Whatever that last single was, about a threesome or something? I got tired of hearing it on the radio. But they've stopped playing it so much, so I don't even remember it any more. Ha!
30. What song got you into 40?
Death From Above 1979 - none in particular. I just heard about them somewhere, bought the album about a year ago, and they were basically my IT band for a couple of months.
31. What is your favorite single by 25?
CéU - hehe, I don't know, as I'm not really up to speed on the Brazilian pop charts.
32. If 49 hated you, what would you do?
The Strokes - Not be terribly concerned, honestly.
33. What would you say if 42 or one of the members from 42 asked you out?
M.I.A. - 'Shit yeah!' And then I'd brag to all my friends for as long as M.I.A. stayed relevant.
34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
I doubt the creators of
Gorillaz are taking their character development
that deep.

The Decemberists - I'm assuming Colin Meloy.

Gnarls Barkley - Cee-Lo not so much, but I'd probably do

According to Last.fm, I have listened to
Foo Fighters -
Low 17 times.
38. How many CDs do you own of 30?

39. Is there a song from 38 that makes you mad?
I have no 38.
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?
Broken Social Scene - haha. What was that whole BSS Presents: thing? I haven't quite caught up to those projects yet. Those might have been solo endeavors. And then there's that whole matter of them being more of a collective effort in the first place.
41. What does your favorite song from 48 remind you of?
OK Go -
Hello, My Treacherous Friends. Uh...spiders. Because they talk about spiders in the song. :)
42. Did you hate 43 at first?
Placebo - yes, actually. When I first heard
Infra-Red I was like, this is some 90s band that isn't translating well into the 2000s (see:
Weezer). But...then I heard
Meds and rethought my position. Now I love Infra-Red too, and listen to their old stuff all the time.
43. Does your best friend also listen to 33?
I don't think I have a best friend, but I hope they'd be a
Thom Yorke fan.
44. Do you think your parents would like 37?
Tie between
Vedera and
The Cure. Definitely not The Cure. Vedera...maybe a couple of songs. Kristen's voice is magical. I don't know how anyone could be immune to it, really.
45. Does 47 have a song that makes you want to dance?
Quasi - no. Of their two albums I have, none of the songs are all that dancey.
46. Have you ever seen 34 in person?
Modest Mouse - No, but that'd probably be a fun show now that I think about it.
47. Do you like 44's name?
In the Pines - yep! Fits their music perfectly.
48. Is there someone in 45 that you want to go out with?
The American Analog Set - They're nice looking, talented fellows and all. But I'd need to know a lot more about a fellow before I'd go out with him. Especially since I usually don't go out with boys. But you never know. Can't rule anything out.
49. Do you know anyone that hates 39?
TV on the Radio - I've never heard anyone say they did, but I know a couple of people who wouldn't get them.
50. Have you ever danced to a song from 35?
José González doesn't make terribly dancey songs.
