Am I too contagious?
Got us cornered right now
And she shattered her last china plate
And all I gotta do is act naturally.
We once walked out on the beach
They'll name a city after us
I've been so tired
La vie je la comprends
Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

They know your secrets, and you know theirs
I was miles from dry land, but you gave everything you had
Now I can't change
To keep you warm from the storm
But in time things must change
Lucy, Lucy my gal
But I couldn't talk about it

You will die when I say you must die
And tonight I thank the stars
Calm down, release your cares
Show me something.

TV on the Radio – Well, Wolf Like Me never ceases to be just plain awesome.

2. How did you get into 20?
Placebo – uh, I downloaded this themed mixtape, and every you every me was on it, and then it kind of snowballed from there.

3. Who is your favorite member in 1?
Patrick Wolf – not that Wolf-guy anyway! Such a prick.

4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 29?
Leonard Cohen – Daaaamn, that’s a hard question.
” Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
and everybody knows”
Is awesome, but:
”If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will”
Gets to me too. Cohens lyrics are like.. I don’t know. Just so good.

5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
Conor Oberst – No, but I will see Monsters of Folk in November, which he is a part of.
And this makes me happy. Like a… Horse.

6. What's your favorite album from 10?.

7. Do you own any merchandise from 3?
DeVotchKa – sadly, no.

8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
Ryan Adams – When I was up in the middle of the night waiting for Friday the 13th part VII to begin, and suddenly the video for New York, New York popped up. It made that night all the more awesome.

Rufus Wainwright - …. Nah.

12. Which song did you first hear from 16?

Final Fantasy – He Poos Clouds. Still in love with it. Damn you, gay canadian guy, messing with my heart.

14. Which song do you not like by 18?
Loudon Wainwright III – Silly question, he’s too high up to have a song I dislike.

15. Why do you like 14's songs?
Andrew Bird – I think they’re somewhat unique. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like Bird before. And the lyrics are often very beautiful.

16. Where did you first hear 6?
The Mountain Goats – on a mixtape. (I do love mixtapes with a passion that breaks a man in two) It was Going to Georgia, but the song just skipped that place to settle for my heart. Or something corny like that.

Electric Six – Since I don’t have a driver’s license that would be PREEETTY illegal, but I must say that E6 does music that is so funny and good it should be illegal.. So.. Yeah. I would maybe do that.

22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
Ben Kweller – Sadly, none. But that’s gonna change! Someday. Goddamnit, I’m a poor student.>:

23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?
[artist[Beirut – Well, I get teary in a nostalgic kind of way when I hear Nantes.

25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
Neutral Milk Hotel – Well. Maybe.. No.

26. What's the last song you've listened to from 28?
Bloc Party – Hunting For Witches! I actually watched the very uninspiring musicvideo just earlier this day. Their music is all kinds of awesome, but.. Damn. Boring videos.

Johnny Cash – Aw, man, he’s also dead!

35. Who has the best voice in 46?
The Mighty Boosh – Can’t choose which one I like the most. Their both awesome.

36. Do you think 26 is/are good looking?
Okkervil River – I had to google some pictures before answering this; well, yeah. I guess they’re pretty cute in an awkward way. It’s not that important anyway, is it?

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Ha Ha High Babe reminds me of sitting on the bus, ignoring everyone around me, napping and just thinking about nothing.

42. Did you hate 43 at first?

43. Does your best friend also listen to 33?
Songs: Ohia – sadly, no.>: Well, maybe one of my best friends, you never know about him. But probably not.

44. Do you think your parents would like 37?
Markus Krunegård – Naye.

45. Does 47 have a song that makes you want to dance?
John Vanderslice – you can’t call it dancing, really, it’s just me jumping around in a sudden fit of ”THIS GUY IS MY NEW FAVORITE FO SHIZZLE”. It’s creepy, if you ask me. Nothing you wanna se.

46. Have you ever seen 34 in person?
The Killers – But damn! Why can’t you ask me about Rufus Wainwright? I have met him. Like, for a second or so, but we said hello and so! I don’t care so much about the Killers though. Wainwright did write a song for the singer of that band! Aw, man.

47. Do you like 44's name?
Ed Harcourt – no, it’s awful and to be honest quiet offensive. (Haha.)
