What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Weed Party, I’m pretty sure.

What is your favorite album of 2?
Good News for People Who Love Bad News. I love all of those songs. Except for maybe Interlude (Milo). That baby just creeps me out.

What is your favorite lyric that 5 has sung?
I really love “Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set” from New Slang. Lately I’ve been singing to myself a lot “Unknown quotients, you must be using potions. How else could you tie my head to the sky?” from Girl Inform Me. Both great songs.

How many times have you seen 4 live?
Not once ): But I’ll make my way to one of their shows one of these days. Maybe even one in Montreal!

What is your favorite song by 7?
Bodysnatchers or Karma Police.

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
Listening to Henney Buggy Band while driving down Teague, with a huge smile plastered to my face that caused one driver to turn and stare as he passed.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Lover I Don’t Have to Love. It’s somewhat heartbreaking that someone has lost the ability (and desire) to have true affection for another.

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
Wow. This is one of the most difficult questions I’ve ever had to answer. I think I’ll have to go with “We were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground” from Black Cadillacs.

What is your favorite song by 9?
Fake Tales of San Francisco

How did you get in to 3?
My cousin put some of their music on my iPod one Thanksgiving. He also introduced me to Modest Mouse and The Shins that day. Yes, he’s my favorite cousin.

Greatest band picture ever.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
In Our Bedroom After the War because of a bad memory from 10th grade I have associated with it. If you had Mrs. Hardaway first block, first semester, you may know what I’m talking about.

Oh, Inverted World.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
“While my mother waters plants, my father loads his guns” from At The Bottom of Everything.

Transatlanticism, without a doubt. Perhaps the most beautiful song and poetry I’ve ever heard.

The Mistress Witch from McClure (or, The Mind That Knows Itself). Amazing man.

How many times have you seen 8 live?
In person? Never. Via televised performances? Twice.

What was the first song you heard by 8?
In Our Bedroom After the War off their Myspace.

What is your favorite cover by 5?
Their cover of The Postal Service’s We Will Become Silhouettes. Actually, I think I like it better than the original. (Don’t tell Ben!) Listen to it: We Will Become Silhouettes!

Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) was playing on iTunes earlier. (Thank you, Genius Mixes!)
