20: A band/artist you used to love and are now embarrassed about

Embarrassment is for chumps.

22: Newest record you own

Bad Self Portraits - Lake Street Dive. Digitally, anyway. I have no idea what the newest album I physically own is.

24: Least favored genre of music

Dubstep. Totally appreciate all the effort that goes into it, but it’s not my thing.

26: Name one English band/artist you like

I’m gonna resist the temptation to go with the obvious cop-out answer and say Oasis.

28: Favorite soundtrack

Hairspray! Movie or musical, I’m not picky.

30: A song that best describes you

Fuck if I know.

32: A song you’d prefer for your funeral

Nearly ten years of experience doing surveys on xanga and I still don’t have an answer to this question.

34: Most unknown band/artist you like

I feel like I should come up with a cool, underground, hipstery band for this answer, but I’ve never met anyone besides my dad who knows what Big Wreck is and it breaks my heart.

(skipping ‘favorite guitarist’ and ‘drummer’ because I don’t have one of either) 40: The softest band/artist you like

That would probably be Iron and Wine I guess?

"Maple Leaf Rag" - Scott Joplin

"Smile" - Charlie Chaplin

"Rainmaker" - Orisinal

44: Ever had sex on a song? If yes, which one?

I mean, probably, but whenever my boyfriend and I listen to music he just puts on a chill Pandora station and I almost never recognize what’s playing.

46: A song you can’t take seriously

That one by Nickelback about changing the world or whatever.

48: How important is music to you?

Cool filler question bro. 

50: Something you like and something you despise in music these days

Despise the industry, like that it’s easier to get your stuff out there without it.

52: Do you own any band merchandise? If so, what and of which bands?

I have a few posters, but that’s the extent of it.

54: Which bands/artists have you seen LIVE?

Counting Crows twice, Augustana, Lauren Fairweather and whoever the fuck else she toured with, Amos Lee, Fountains of Wayne, The Wallflowers, Laura Stevenson and the other four bands at that show, aaaaand I think that’s it.

56: Tell me something, anything, personal about you and a song/band/album

The guy who was running our 5th and 6th grade talent show forced me to be in the show choir because he was pissed at me for not auditioning, and I still remember all the backing vocals for “Part of Your World.”

Once you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself publicly and then send it to 10 of your favorite followers, but not back to me because I did it already! Thinking good thoughts about yourself is hard but it will make you feel good so give it a go!

Aww yeah, mutual favoritism! :D

I’m pretty great at French braids.

Apparently I’m a “calming presence” according to people I’ve worked on theater things with.

I have super pretty eyes when I haven’t been rubbing them all day what the fuck why am I allergic to everything I hate my life.

I’m good at simultaneously focusing on 2048 and not missing my train stop.

Let’s be real, my boobs are awesome.

Top 5 things you're doing to avoid writing that poem.

In no particular order:

5. Texting my boyfriend about how much I don’t want to be writing the poem, and also about how Thomas Edison is a douchenozzle.

4. Stress eating Snickers Peanut Butter Squares.

3. Rinsing my mouth out with salt water to get rid of a cold sore. I’D LITERALLY RATHER TASTE SALT WATER FOR HALF AN HOUR THAN WRITE THIS POEM THAT’S HOW SERIOUS THIS SITUATION IS.

2. Badly singing along to a song I heard at a theater thing last week and have since become unreasonably obsessed with.

1. Answering this ask. You, sir, are an absolute gem. :D
