What’s the first song you ever heard by #6?

"The Cave." It gave me the creeps the first time I heard it. 

What’s your favorite song by #8?

Hmm... That's hard. Maybe "Islands." It's one of the more overlooked, underrated songs on their album, but it's beautiful and haunting. 

What are your favorite lyrics by #2?

"Lonely eyes been watching me I can see what you want me to see I wanna be close to you All we need now is the dark Dancing shadows move on to white walls I wanna be close to you Heavy eyes been watching me Rhythms beats and melodies They make me get close to you Other guys will sell you tricks Tell you lies to get their fix Don't let them get close to you Give me fire, give me fire It'll burn all your fear away I still got my eyes on you baby I wanna be close to you"

What song by #3 makes you the happiest?

"Salina." Definitely. 

When did you first get into #5?

I think a year ago. My friend, Dustyn, and I have this thing where we swap cd's of artists we don't know. He was appalled that I had never heard of Death Cab, and I'm glad he gave me Codes & Keys. 

How did you get into #3?

 My boyfriend. They actually came to our city on the day of our one-year anniversary. You could call it destiny :D

What is your favorite song by #4?

Sunset Salamander. It's beautiful, it's tragic, and it's a field day for English majors. 

Have you seen #9 live? How many times?

NO BUT I WANT TO SO BADLY!!!!!!!

Favorite album by #7?

I don't have a favorite Skrillex album, just a mix of some of his songs. 

What’s your favorite song by #1?

Just one? Crap. "Horchata?" "Contra?" No, wait. "Run." Definitely "Run." That was one of my theme songs for my senior year of high school. 

How did you become a fan of #10?

My boyfriend has this magic ability to find my new favorite bands. He sent me "Little Talks," and I was immediately hooked. 

How long have you known #9?

Just a few months, since they were on Conan. But I've been listening to them like crazy!
