1 thru 5 for the music asks!
1. Name your top three favorite songs.
completely impossible to answer in a general sense! different songs have meant different things to me at different times in my life, and i like it that way. my taste in music grows and changes with me, and trying to hold on to my old favorites just because i’ve decided they’re “favorites” isn’t something i’m interested in doing
i’ve been on a decemberists kick lately, so ig my three current faves are songs of theirs. uh, “cavalry captain,” “song for myla goldberg,” and...... “i was meant for the stage”
2. Do you have a favorite band?
in the general sense no! but again i’ve been listening to a lot of decemberists lately, so currently them
3. What are you top five bands?
uh let’s see. the mountain goats, the decemberists, anais mitchell, iron & wine, and feist maybe
i think i’ve listed that exact top five before lmao oof i need to listen to some new music
4. Favorite album cover?
this is real good question. for a long time i’ve cited neil young’s on the beach as an extremely aesthetically pleasing album cover. some others, just off the top of my head: ghost on ghost by iron & wine, the bees made honey in the lion’s skull by earth, la grande by laura gibson, grinderman 2 by grinderman, hadestown by anais mitchell
5. What’s an album that you prefer to listen straight through instead of shuffled?
all of them. i’m kind of pretentious about this ig, but imo an album is a work of art in itself, not just a collection of songs. there’s thought put into the order of the tracks, and i like to follow that order when i’m listening to a given album
on the other hand i’ve got that adhd brain so i don’t always listen to albums all the way through. and ofc if it’s a playlist or whatever you should shuffle it. but if you’re listening to an album for the sake of listening to that album, do the artist a favor and listen to the songs in order
