What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Vienna Teng. Probably Harbor, on the compilation cd Hannah made for me
What is your favorite album by 2 ?
Backstreet Boys. Oh man, toughie! Millenium probably.
What is your favorite lyric that 1 has sung?
The Decemberists. Hard to say, because it's not the lyrics that do it for me so much as the songs as a whole, the stories they tell. I do love
"But oh my love, though our bodies may be parted
Though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
I will come on the breath of the wind"
from Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)
How many times have you seen 11 live?
Death Cab. None.
What is your favorite song by 7?
Damien Rice. I've always loved Cannonball
What is a good memory you have involving 20?
Chanticleer. My mom and I went to see them live. Front row seats, so close I could have touched them, and the music was so heart-stoppingly perfect and beautiful I could barely breathe.
Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad?
Jason Mraz. Tonight, Not Again
What is your favorite lyric that 14 has sung?
Fiona Apple. Most of Never Is A Promise, particularly
"But as the scenery grows I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights"
What is your favorite song by 19?
Justin Timberlake. Shut up. I have a theory that everyone has a secret weakness for Justin Timberlake. What Comes Around.
How did you first get into 22?
Ben Kweller. God, I can't even remember. It was years and years ago. I remember I knew his song Lizzy long before any of his other stuff and loved it.
What was the first song you heard by 21?
Bowling For Soup. Oh, probably 1985.
What is your favorite song by 4?
Regina Spektor. I really love Samson.
How many time have you seen 10 live?
Ben Folds Five. Never
What is a good memory you have involving 13?
Jack's Mannequin. Um, a song of theirs was on a mixtape my good friend Sarah made for me. I remember listening to it and really liking it.
Is there a song by 23 that makes you sad?
Aqualung. Yes, most of them. lol. Particularly Tongue Tied.
What is your favorite album of 15?
Placebo. Tied between Without You I'm Nothing and Sleeping With Ghosts
What is your favorite lyric that 9 has sung?
Guster. "I turn on MTV, the volume's down
Lips move, they say
It'll be okay
To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
One last time these words from me
I'm never saying them again"
From Come Downstairs And Say Hello
What is your favorite song by 8?
Coldplay. Mmmm, I've always really liked Sparks.
What is your favorite song by 16?
CAKE. Sheep Go To Heaven has been seeing heavy rotation lately.
How many times have you seen 5 live?
Ben Folds. None.
What is your favorite album by 12?
Belle & Sebastian. Not sure; I don't actually own any of their full albums.
What is a good memory you have involving 25?
Original Broadway Cast (namely Rent, Camelot, My Fair Lady, etc) Singing along to Camelot while cleaning my kitchen. Shut up, it was fun. :)
What was the first song you heard by 18?
Alicia Keys. Fallin', of course.
What is your favorite song by 17?
The Weakerthans. Pamphleteer, hands down.
What is your favorite album by 24?
