1. Who are some of your favorite artists?
This is always a difficult question, because I don’t know how to define this. Do I have to know most of their discography, or can I just know their radio singles, and LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THEM? The latter is the reality for me and most of the music I love. I’ll know maybe 1-5 songs out of a 5 album discography (or maybe 1 album out of 5+), and I wear them out.
2. What are some of your favorite genres?
I don’t have a genre preference on the whole, but my favorite music tends to be from my childhood and adolescence (90s - ‘05). The 90s have a great thing where the music was amazing across genres. Rap and R&B was poppin’. Alternative Rock was awesome. Top 40/ Pop music wasn’t shit. Everybody was listening to country, too.
3. What was the last song you listened too?
I’m a Slave 4 U by Britney Spears
4. What song are you listening to right now?
Vitamin R (Leading Us Along) by Chevelle

...
6. What are some songs that get you pumped?
Probably something from a Tarantino or Guy Ritchie joint. Black music, 70s. Funk.
7. What are some songs that give you the chills (the bad kind)?
If Your Girl Only Knew by Aaliyah. I was listening to that song as my ride slowly drove past this VW van that was engulfed in flames. I have no idea what the reality was, but as a kid I assumed that people were still in there, so that song was hard to listen to for years, as it triggered that memory.
8. Who are some of your least favorite artists?
I’m absolutely ok with never hearing a Katy Perry song again, even the ones I liked when they first came out. She irks me.
