1.How did you get into 29? (Air)
I guess it was when Sexy Boy & Kelly Watch the Stars got a lot of airplay on MTV in the late 90's.

2. What's the first song you ever heard by 22? (The Radio Dept.)
Not entirely sure, but I vaguely remember seeing them live on a festival in Sweden in 2004, which is probably when I heard their music for the first time. (Mind you, it was at a boozy music festival after all, so it's all a bit of a blur really...)

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (José González)
Maybe these ones from Broken Arrow:
"Summerlove left this town
It was too cold to bathe and the leaves turned brown
The sun went down
And with it the love we found
That's the way things are sometimes
Most of the time"

4. How did you get into 49? (Björk)
Well, seeing that I'm Scandinavian she was a pretty big deal there with her debut album (called Debut). The first track I heard was Human Behaviour, but I didn't start listening to her stuff properly until the late 90's.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (MF DOOM)
Two (Operation Doomsday & MM Food).

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (M83)
Graveyard Girl.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (RJD2)
Not that I can think of, or maybe One Day.

8. What is your favorite song by 15? (El-P)
Tasmanian Pain Coaster is pure genius.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Sage Francis)
Sea Lion.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Alias)
Not really, I wouldn't exactly say Alias is famous for his feelgood-tracks. Maybe Dr.C by Alias & Tarsier.

11. What is the worst song by 40? (Coldplay)
Violet Hill no doubt. Can't stand it. I never understood how it could be released as a first album single.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Sia)
Breathe Me, followed by Death By Chocolate.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Sole)
I remember being on a road trip with my brother and he'd brought 'Selling Live Water' which had recently been released. I had never heard of Sole, but I loved what I heard.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (CunninLynguists)
It's a tie between Seasons (Remix) and Don't Leave (When Winter Comes). The beat for the remix of seasons is amazing and fits the lyrcs perfectly.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Murs)
The Night Before is nice. Bad Man! is a good party tune.

16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? (Feist)

Misty sorrow swoop unbound
Whisper you mean it, say you'll stay
Hold my heart till brighter days"

Ian Matthias Bavitz (aka Aesop Rock). Tricky one that.

20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? (WHY?)
Gemini (Birthday Song) and A Sky For Shoeing Horses Under both put a smile on my face.

21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Burial)
I listened a lot to Burial when I initially moved to London, so maybe that.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Regina Spektor)
Samson was the first song I heard by her, and I absolutely loved it. Still find it amazing. But she's done so many incredible tracks, other favourites are Ode To Divorce and Somedays.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Radiohead)
Creep, back in the day. Not really feeling their recent stuff.

24. What is your favourite album by 18? (The Clash)
London Calling - one of the greatest albums ever made imo.

Accordion.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Masta Ace)
Beautiful.

27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Death Cab for Cutie)
Plans. Even quality throughout, not one bad song on the entire album.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Sigur Rós)
Probably Með suð í eyrum or Saeglopur. A lot of good songs to choose from though.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Boards of Canada)
Music Is Math was featured in a Swedish movie, and that's what made me start listening to them.

30. What is you favorite song by 8? (The Album Leaf)
We Need Help.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (Bon Iver)
None, but I'd love to. Hopefully within the next year.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Lykke Li)
Everybody But Me (Christoffer Remix). The lyrics are depressing as anything, but it's still that instant party anthem.

33. How did you get into 12? (Madlib)
Through Jaylib's Champion Sound.

34. What is the worst song by 45? (Buck 65)
Kennedy Killed the Hat (which a lot of people seem to love)

I listened a lot to Wolves and Wishes when I went to Tokyo last year, and listening to that album still reminds me of the good times I spent there.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? (DJ Shadow)
Stem/Long Stem, hands down. Amazing track.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? (The Streets)
I guess the easy answer here would be to mention any song off Everything Is Borrowed. But I'm not really a big fan of Mike Skinner going all happy-go-lucky, so I'd have to say Fit But You Know It and Don't Mug Yourself.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? (Atmosphere)
Lucy Ford, followed by God Loves Ugly.

48. Who is your favorite member of 37? (Bloc Party)
Don't have one.

The Funeral. Still reckon it's one of their best songs.

50. What is your favorite song by 20? (The Roots)
You Got Me. High school memories right there.

Haven't done one of these for aaggggeees. I believe they were invented for 4am amid ill-timed caffeine imbibing?

1. How did you get into 29?
Animal Collective - 'Fireworks' was given away on some free comp CD, I believe. Then they cemented that with a sensory overload at ATP May 2008. I swear it wasn't because P4K threatened me at gunpoint.....SWEAR!

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Suicide File - It was live and I didn't know them then, so I forget. Bought the CD there, though, so it'd be the first (and title) track on 'Twilight'.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
The Raconteurs - 2, debut physically and sophomore digitally (legal, honest RIAA).

4. What is your favorite song by 15?
36 Crazyfists - 'Kenai' always does it for me.

5. What is your favorite song by 5?
TV on the Radio - More about the albums as a whole with these guys for me, but 'Blues From Down Here' certainly is a jam.

6. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Mastodon - Oh my yes, there are many but just past the 4 minute mark of 'The Czar' they break from slow and meditative into the most heroic riffing. Always perks me up.

7. What is your favorite song by 10?
Aereogramme (R.I.P.) - 'Barriers' ("Let me tell the truth/Let me come alive/Let me build bridges into your life")

8. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Coheed & Cambria - Seeing Claudio play guitar with his teeth at the Agora in Cleveland sticks with me, for some reason.

9. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
Killswitch Engage - Their cover of 'Holy Diver' is particularly overblown and never fails to cause a grin.

10. How many times have you seen 25 live?
Isis - Just the once in Sheffield and it was utterly mind-blowing.

11. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
The Shins - 'Phantom Lib'. Took me many listens for the subtle loveliness to sink in, for some reason. Fool.

12. What is your favorite album by 11?
The Bronx - No. 2, inventively entitled The Bronx II, is probably the best.

13. Who is a favorite member of 1?
Tool - Can't really see past the enigma of Maynard James Keenan, despite the talent of the others.

14. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Frank Turner - Yes, many times. Had I not, my life would be all the poorer for missing him. GO SEE FRANK TURNER!

15. What is a good memory involving 27?
Counting Crows - They go waaay back in all kinds of memories. Plead the 5th or some such....

Soundgarden - 'Superunknown' is a classic. One of my faves full stop.

At the Drive-In - 'Cosmonaut' ......wow, SO influential. www.heavier-than-air.blogspot.com

20. What is your favorite album by 2?
Clutch - Choices, choices.....?! 'Elephant Riders' got me into them and I love it, but 'Blast Tyrant' is probably my preferred overall.

21. What is you favorite song by 3?
The Hold Steady - 'Massive Nights' suitably describes most evenings I've watched them.....woo-ohhhhh-ooo-OHHHH.

22. What is you favorite song by 8?
Okkervil River - 'Savannah Smiles' is beautiful.

23. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Deftones - 3, I believe.

24. What is the worst song by 12?
The Bronx - There are a few weak moments on III....non titles come to mind, though. Just buy I and II to be safe.

25. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?
Biffy Clyro - Probably 'Justboy' or '57' courtesy of http://www.last.fm/user/-jc- all those years ago at Uni.

27. What is your favorite song by 24?
Nickel Creek - 'Somebody More Like You'

When one is too lost, usually starts caring, but caring... Caring is creepy!
The Shins can tell us, and the characters from Garden State, film where we can find as well this great song.

Cuando uno está perdido, empieza a preocuparse, pero preocuparse... ¡Preocuparse es escalofriante!
The Shins nos lo pueden contar, o sino también los personajes de Garden State, película en la que también se puede escuchar esta gran canción.

This pic is not from Garden State, it's from Wristcutters, because they, they were really lost... / La foto no es de la película Garden State, sino de Wristcutters, porque esos chicos si que estaban perdidos...
I think I'll go home and mull this over
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat

Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Underneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights
That contain all reason

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're not on

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is
One day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow

This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending

All these squawking birds won't quit
Building nothing, laying bricks.Preocuparse es escalofriante
"Creo que iré a casa y reflexionaré sobre ésto
antes de que se me haga un nudo en la garganta.
Por fin ya se quebró, esta masa colosal
se ha roto en pedazos en mi foso.

Levanta la cama del suelo,
camina hasta que desaparezcan los calambres,
sal a dar una vuelta en el frío,
saluda a tu piel oscura,
escondiendo el hecho que estás muerto de nuevo
Debajo del cableado de alta tensión, buscando sombra,
por encima de nuestras cabezas
están las alturas heladas que contienen toda razón.

Es una deliciosa mezcla de palabras y trucos
que nos deja apostar cuando sabes que deberíamos retirarnos.
En las rocas soñé donde nosotros dimos pasos
Y todo el lío de caminos donde estamos ahora.

Eleva tu copa, sostenla.
Nunca traiciones la manera en que siempre supiste que es esto.
Un día estaré preguntándome cómo
Envejecí tan solo preguntándome cómo.
Jamás tuve frió sin llevar nada en la nieve.

Esto va mucho más allá
de mi más remota preocupación por ser condescendiente.

Todos estos pájaros graznando no desistirán
de construir nada, apilando ladrillos."
