1. How did you get into 29? (Fred & Ginger)
I love classic movies, and I love Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and I love their movies. So naturally I had to put some of their songs on my iPod. They’re so much fun!

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Aaliyah)
Are You That Somebody? It was a great video.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Thom Yorke)
From his solo album, probably all of Analyse. The first line rolls off the tongue so well:

A self-fulfulling prophecy of endless possibility

And also maybe Harrowdown Hill. With Radiohead…the list is endless! The lyrics from A Wolf at the Door are so much fun, and are so meaningful with so much subtext…so probably the whole song.

4. How did you get into 49? (Otis Redding)
Watching those old Time Life music informercials at 2 in the morning. Also, I made a CD of his songs for my mom and I ended up loving it too.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Feist)
I don’t get whole albums a lot of the time. I have all of The Reminder, though, and about half of Let It Die.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Gregory Isaacs)
Either Private Beach Party or Stranger In Town.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Bruce Springsteen)
Sad Eyes, maybe. Or Streets of Philadelphia. But mostly the thing I notice with those songs are how pretty they are and how awesome his voice is in them.

8. What is your favorite song by 15? (Eric Clapton)
The unplugged version of Layla, of course. I do love the version with Derek and the Dominos, though.

For a long time it was Let It Be, but now I’m really loving The White Album and currently it’s probably Happiness is a Warm Gun.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Amy Winehouse)
I love her music. Me and Mr Jones makes me happy, I guess.

11. What is the worst song by 40? (Dionne Warwick)
Blegh, probably something annoying that the record company made her sing. I only like her classic songs with Burt Bacarach.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Tori Amos)
It’s gotta be Sweet the Sting…though I also adore Crucify.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Leona Lewis)

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Etta James)
At Last…of course, cliché.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (M.I.A.)
Yes…and not just Paper Planes which everyone is currently crapping all over, but I don’t know…so many. M.I.A. is like a formula for happy. 20 Dollar, 10 Dollar, Amazon, Jimmy….all of her music pretty much makes me happy.

16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? (Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong)

Drinking tea in bed, watching DVDs
When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines
You’d take me out shopping, and all we’d buy is trainers
As if we ever needed anything to entertain us

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Radiohead)
Thom Yorke is so much love. As well as Jonny Greenwood. And Ed O’Brien. Or…well…all of them.

20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? (Audrey Hepburn)
Yes. Definitely Just You Wait from My Fair Lady…she actually sang a lot of this one :P

21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Green Day)
Um, how about me being 7 and liking Dookie, or their resurgence in 2004 when everybody and their mother was listening to them? The American Idiot video was classic. Oh, high school.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Mariah Carey)
Maybe Sweetheart…she takes me way back. The first album I ever bought was one of hers. She was so much better back in the day.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Ray Charles)
America the Beautiful? I heard that was by him. Lol. If not, probably Hit the Road Jack.

Never, damn it…what a show that would be!

It was 2004 and I was watching one of those VMA Past Winners Video marathons on MTV2. I saw Criminal, loved the song (not the video), and was hooked.

34. What is the worst song by 45? (U2)
I don’t know. I only have The Joshua Tree and a few songs from War and Achtung Baby and none of those songs suck.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (Queen)
We Will Rock You. I was 6 and a cheerleader in elementary school. It was our fight song. Lol.

Over the Rainbow. Who’s wasn’t?

Black Holes and Revelations…not original at all.
