1. How did you get into 31?

Liars

I heard they were opening for Radiohead and I had to check them out because I thought I was going to Radiohead... it sold out... I had to go to Be Your Own Pet instead (which was fun anyways).


2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?

The Unicorns

PlayI Was Born (A Unicorn)


3. What's your favorite lyric by 41?

My Bloody Valentine

Who listens to their lyrics? Seriously?


4. What is your favorite album by 49?

The Cure

The Head on the Door


5. How many albums by 13 do you own?

Bad Brains

6. What is your favorite song by 50?

The Hush Sound

Dude, I haven't listened to them in so long...

7. Is there a song by 4 that makes you sad?

Ramones

That would be impossible. But Why Is It Always This Way? is kind of sad.

8. What is your least favorite song by 15?

The Clash


Most of Combat Rock.


9. What is your favorite song by 5?

Neutral Milk Hotel

My god. Holland 1945. Best song ever.


10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?

The Beatles

I listen to Abbey Road on vinyl most mornings before school because it cheers me up. I know they're both stupid songs, but Octopus's Garden and Maxwell's Silver Hammer make me smile.


11. What is your favorite album by 40?

Ratatat

Classics


12. What is your favorite song by 10?

Radiohead

You're going to make me choose? Oh well... PlayMy Iron Lung.


13. What is a good memory you have involving 33?

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Driving home from SXSW (South By Southwest Music Festival) in Austin with my cousin Jeff, blasting Fever to Tell at full volume in my car singing our lungs out... and blowing out my passenger seat speakers. Also, PlayMaps is the only song I can actually do well singing on on Rock Band.


14. What is your favorite song by 37?

The Birthday Party

Release the Bats. It's just totally nutty.


15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?

PlayNatural's Not in It gives me somewhat of an adrenaline rush.

Once. Best night of my life (arguably).

Be Your Own Pet

Electric Shake


18. What is your favorite album by 11?

Bright Eyes

I'm Wide Awake It's Morning


19. Who is your favorite member of 1?

Sonic Youth

That's like having to choose between my (proverbial) children. I'll hand it to Kim though, she's one of the reasons I want to be in a band with only guys. And she fucks Thurston on a daily basis. Damn.


20. How many times have you seen 14 live?

Weezer

Not yet. I don't know if they're coming here on tour or not. I don't really like their new album (or anything other than Pinkerton and The Blue Album) so I don't know if I'll go.


21. What is a good memory you have involving 45?

De La Soul

On one of my first dates with my boyfriend, we drove around the city looking for good places for a photoshoot blasting 3 Feet High and Rising. Prince Paul has dandruff...


22. What is your favorite song by 16?

The Velvet Underground

Yeesh... PlaySister Ray or PlayHeroin or PlayI'm Waiting for the Man or PlayWhite Light/White Heat. Or......


23. What is the first song you heard by 47?

X-Ray Spex

PlayArt-I-Ficial


24. What is your favorite album by 3?

Joy Division

Unknown Pleasures


25. What is your favorite song by 18?

The Strokes

Reptilia. But, like The Hush Sound, I haven't listened to them in quite a while.


26. What is the first song you heard by 38?

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Just Like Honey. It's weird because one day about a year and a half ago I was going through my music, deleting stuff I didn't like. I came across this song, totally out of nowhere. I have no clue how I got it or what the hell it was. But I listened, and I liked. A lot.


27. What is your favorite lyric that 21 has sung?

Minutemen

"Our band could be your life." (Also the title of a great book.)


28. What is your favorite song by 2?

Elliott Smith

Shit. I dunno. Um. The Biggest Lie.


29. What is the first song you heard by 32?

Sufjan Stevens

Chicago. Isn't that everyone's first?


30. What is your favorite song by 8?

Pixies

Hard to pick, but PlayWhere Is My Mind? seems appropriate for my current state of... mind...?


31. How many times have you seen 17 live?

Beck

I haven't. But how fun would that be?


32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?

Broken Social Scene

Just look at the name. Do you think that band could possibly make anyone happy?


33. What is your favorite album by 12?

Animal Collective

Either Feels or Sung Tongs.


34. What is the worst song by 29?

The Damned

They have bad songs?


35. What was the first song you heard by 34?

The White Stripes

Seven Nation Army. Yeah, I know... the odd thing is, I hated them for the longest time until I discovered White Blood Cells. I like them, but they're slightly overrated.


36. What is your favorite album by 42?

The Flaming Lips

Lately, I've been into Transmissions From the Satellite Heart.

37. How many times have you seen 39 live?

Mission of Burma

They reunited, didn't they? So I still have a chance? Yes!


38. What is your favorite album by 36?

Talking Heads

Ehhhh. Um. Maybe... um. No. I don't know. Toss up between Fear of Music and Speaking in Tongues.


39. What is the first song you heard by 28?

Public Image Ltd.

Public Image. And it blew my fucking mind.


40. What is your favorite album by 7?

Black Flag

I like the b-sides and early recordings compilation Everything Went Black. It has recordings with their first four singers (not Rollins). It's nifty. Damaged is my favorite studio album of theirs, but of course it doesn't have much competition...
