What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage.

What is your favorite song of 8?
It all depends on how I’m feeling, but I suppose Sleep Through The Static.

What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
I don’t even know how to respond to this. They, however cliche this sounds, saved my life. Their music was always comforting and mood lifting. They brought me together with some really awesome people which is wonderful. Also, they were some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and the last time I really saw them play was easily one of the greatest days of my life thus far.

What is your favorite lyric of 5?
This question is impossible, given the number of songs Death Cab has released. I guess I’ll go with Marching Bands of Manhattan

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole,
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises; your love is gonna drown.

How many times have you seen 4 live?
I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Bon Iver live yet. Soon, hopefully.

What is your favorite song by 7?
Hm. My favorite song by Phoenix would have to be Fences just because I think it was the first song I ever heard from them. They’re really wonderful.

Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?
I’d have to say Pieces of What.

What is your favorite song by 9?
It’s hard to pick one really, because they’re all so wonderful. I’d have to say Campus or Walcott, although I will always love Oxford Comma and Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa. I have high hopes for the new CD because Horchata has caught my attention.

When did you first get into 2?
Fleet Foxes! I’d have to say it was probably Mike and Josh. We were driving around late one night and they put on White Winter Hymnal and I just kind of fell in love with the song and then the rest of the CD.

How did you get into 3?
I don’t know, actually. I loved Electric Feel when I heard it, and I know Lan liked them so that probably influenced it as well.

What is your favorite song by 4?
Ugh. How can I pick? Skinny Love because it’s the first Bon Iver song I heard and I can listen to it over and over again without getting sick of it. It’s so so so beautiful.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
Zero, so far. That will change.

What is a good memory concerning 10?
Dance Across the Country, hands down. It was the best show I’ve gone to. I got to spend the day with two of my favorite people, I met a bunch of terrific new people, and I could Safe Bet to you all day. It’s probably less because of The Morning Light and more because of The Hush Sound, but it was such a terrific day.

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
Flake when I really listen to the lyrics makes me sad. It seems to me that maybe pretty much always means no.

What is your favorite song of 1?
Carry Me Home, forever. That song.

How did you become a fan of 10?
When I found out The Hush Sound was going on tour with them I decided to check out their music. Their EP will always be one of my favorites.
