120-130 ☺️
120. What kind of music did your friends listen to growing up, that influenced you?
My cousin influenced me pretty early on by getting me into Eminem and The Offspring, but that was nothing compared to a friend I met in middle school named Molly. She introduced me to Nine Inch Nails and The Blood Brothers, among other bands, and I think that was a pivotal step towards me liking a lot more abrasive music. I was also really gung-ho about researching new music myself (I subbed to Rolling Stone for years lol and read every page), but yeah.
121. Have you ever been teased for liking some type of music? If so; which?
Not really lol. Not to be that guy because the music I listened to in high school mostly wasn't really that obscure, but it was still more often than not not really on the radar of most people outside of my friends and other like-minded people.
122. How often do you listen to music?
Every day without fail lol. Pretty much always when I'm walking the dog (if not, then a podcast). I used to listen almost 24/7 but I can't focus as well as I used to so now if I'm writing or doing other work I usually hit pause. Still, though, my Spotify Wrapped always shows an insane amount of minutes.
123. Whats your favorite songs to work out to?
I'm an album guy and I'm usually listening to new music that's just come out, so nowadays I don't really have a go-to workout song. In 2017/2018 though I spent a lot of time running to Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. and also Blanck Mass while prepping for a marathon.
124. What’s your favorite songs to google focus to?
I don't know what this question means so I'm skipping.
125. If you could make a band out of your favorite musicians who would you hire?
Perfume Genius and Moses Sumney collab when? And why not throw in Sampha for a bonus.
126. If you could make the perfect album, which songs would you choose for it?
Oh I don't know about this question lol... As I already stated I'm an album guy already so I don't listen to many mixes or have the urge to hit shuffle very often.
127. Whats the best dressed artist/band?
Perfume Genius. Aesthetic is off the charts. Always a little sensual.
128. Which musicians do you know the most about?
I was obsessed with Green Day in middle school so definitely them lol. Or actually Thursday is pretty up there too since they were my high school obsession.
129. What’s your favorite fun fact about a musician/band you like?
Tom Delonge from blink-182's whole alien conspiracy thing is pretty funny.
130. What’s the craziest thing you’ve learned about the music business?
Don't know if this counts but the fact that Frank Ocean has a luxury brand that sells diamond cock rings is pretty up there lmao
