Pick 5 artists that you love before reading the questions:

I really can’t remember, it was so long ago. Probably ‘Ants Marching.’

What is your favorite song of 5?

Hmmmmm. ‘Open Your Eyes,’ currently.

What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?

Oh man. DMB is my complete and utter obsession. I have over 15 GB of music by them (live and such). I’ve been to 4 shows, and intend to go to many more. I can’t describe the kind of impact they’ve made on me. It’s hard to pinpoint, because to describe how they affected me would be to describe everything about me in excruciating detail. It’s just too much.

What are your favourite lyrics of 5?

“I said I knew the beat ‘cause it matched your own beat; It’s become my engine, my own source of heat; The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves; Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave” - ‘If There’s a Rocket Tie Me To It’

How many times have you seen 4 live?

‘The Dreaming Tree’ usually wins this battle.

When did you first get into 2?

December 2009. Thank you, Chris Khoury. This band especially made school bearable.

How did you get into 3?

My aunt, I think introduced them to me. It was a while ago. I first listened to Rush of Blood in like 7th grade. Then I listened to X&Y, then Parachutes. By the time VLV came out, I was a diehard.

What is your favourite song by 4?

‘Several Ways To Die Trying,’ but it was a close one.

What is a good memory concerning 1?

Ha. Too many to count. Every concert. Upstate NY in the summer listening to them. Basically every time I listen to them.
