1. How did you get into 29? (
Badly Drawn Boy)
Parents thought his
The Hour of Bewilderbeast album was genius and thought I should have a listen. Like them, I loved that album, but never have been really able to get into his other work.
2. What's the first song you ever heard by 22? (
Arcade Fire)
Rebellion(Lies)for sure. Heard them play it on a music awards show and was instantly obsessed with their energy.
3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (
The Beatles)
Wow possibly impossible.
"All you need is love" ? :)
4. How did you get into 49? (
The Rakes)

Susumu Hirasawa)
The Girl in Byakkoya - White Tiger Field, of course. Can listen to that song on endless repeat...
7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (

8. What is your favorite song by 15? (
Billy Talent)
Oh that's tough... I always had a soft spot for Standing in the Rain and River Below, but recently I've been obsessed with Lies. Dont know, one of those probably.
9. What is your favorite song by 5? (

When the Sun Goes Down, it's amazing.
10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (
Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
Oh so many. Maps is special though.
11. What is the worst song by 40? (
Miracle Fortress)
I like them all, but Whirrs would be of the lowest caliber in comparison to the rest of the album.
12. What is your favorite song by 10? (
Death Cab for Cutie)
Company Calls in a second. I LOVE Death Cab, and I think all their stuff is amazing, but this song is one of my favourites of any band. So... addicting!
13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (

Discovering them right before my last trip to Whistler, and listening to practically nothing but them the whole way up... and there was one night where I did practically nothing but listen to and sing with Fists Up.
14. What is your favorite song by 38? (
Hot Chip)
Haha! Honestly, if I got this question a few weeks ago I could have said Ready for the Floor in a heartbeat, but I've since become obsessed with Out at the Pictures, so I really dont know. Realistically though I have listened to Ready for the Floor many more times than Out at the Pictures so that should technically be it.
15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (
Pixies)
All of their songs make me happy cause their so fucking good, but no, none of them are particularly happy. Oh My Golly! is fun :P

The Blood Brothers)
All of them, they disbanded :(
17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (

Psycho Killer on their live DVD Stop Making Sense. That was one of the first serious music songs I ever heard if that makes sense. Not just a kid band I mean, but a legit, commercially successful band.
18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? (
The Cribs)
"But if you're dying I'd like to know..." Really that whole song is one of my favourite lyrics in my entire collection.

An Honest Mistake on the radio a month before their album release. I went NUTS for that song. So crazy, watched the video on their website almost every day before the album came out. Sadly, overhyped myself for a mediocre album and was seriously dissapointed when I first bought it, but I've since gotten over it and FINALLY started enjoying it.

Well That Was Easy I always skip cause it just isn't interesting. Too poppy, no depth.
35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (
Arcade Fire)
Damn misscrobbles. Uhm, how about favourite lyric? "And since there's no one else around, we let our hair grow long, and forget all we used to know. Then our skin gets thicker from living out in the snow." Honestly though, Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) is MY FAVOURITE LYRIC EVER.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? (
The Raconteurs)
Their first single, Steady As She Goes, their best song imo. I was so confused when I heard it on the radio too, "Hey, that sounds like Jack White... wth".

Chucky Danger)
Marching Machine, again, addicting.
That was a very anticlimactic ending.
