What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Love Me Do. I remember I was young, it was a rainy day, and it was stuck in my head for a week afterwards.

What is your favorite song of 8?
That’s kind of hard to choose. “The Story of the Ghost” probably. When I first bought the album off of iTunes on Christmas 2006, I was jamming out down the street.

What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
I think I can credit a lot of my creativity to growing up with Kate Bush. She inspires me.

What is your favorite lyric of 5?
“All this time you were chasing dreams / without knowing what you wanted them to mean”

How many times have you seen 4 live?
Never, because tickets are too expensive and I’d probably rather spend them on a different band

What is your favorite song by 7?
I’m Afraid of Americans or Space Oddity.

Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?
Anyone who knows me deeply knows the answer to this question.

What is your favourite song by 9?
The Oblivion. I have memories.

When did you first get into 2?
Mike sent me Waterbead and The Archer, and.. wow. Blown away, really.

How did you get into 3?
Gisli sent me a couple albums many, many years ago. I’ve been completely in love with them since then.

What is your favourite song by 4?
Clocks. I know, it’s cliche. It’s such a great song. But if you want something non-cliche, I’ll stick to Amsterdam.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
I’ve never seen them live, which sucks. I’d love to eventually.

What is a good memory concerning 10?
There was a point where I *only* listened to VAST. I have memories of listening to them, sitting next to my sister on a train.

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
Yes, but only one. (I wanna live beneath the dirt / a tiny space to move and breathe is all that I would ever need / and if you ever think of me, kneel down and kiss the earth / and show me what this thought is worth)

What is your favourite song of 1?
That is REALLY hard to choose. If I try to choose one, I’ll remember one that I like even better. Right now I think I like “Love and Anger” best.

How did you become a fan of 10?
My sister introduced me a couple years ago.
