I'm trying to find any reason not to work on my final portfolio for grad school...

1. How did you get into 29? Belle and Sebastian
My best friend put them on a mix CD for me. Its been love ever since.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? Ben Folds
Probably "Rockin' the Suburbs" but I had been listening to Ben Folds Five for years before he went solo.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? David Mead
"Well sweet baby Jesus is watching you
From his bed at the big corner church
And he knows the highs that you took me to
'Cause he knows the way that it hurts"
- from "Queensboro Bridge" off Indiana

4. How did you get into 49? Modern Skirts
I went to a show because the guy I liked was going to be there. The Skirts were the opening act. The boy is now gone, but the Skirts remain.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? Jack Johnson
Two, plus a couple of random songs here and there.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? Foo Fighters
"Everlong" because I have so many memories attached to it.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? of Montreal
No, for that would kind of defeat the purpose of their music...

8. What is your favorite song by 15? Jump
If I exclude everything they did when they went by the name Jump, Little Children, then it would have to be "Mexico" (even if that is horribly cliche).

9. What is your favorite song by 5? Sufjan Stevens
"Casimir Pulaski Day" because that song is so heart breaking. When I saw him two years ago, I burst into tears when he started playing it. So embarrassing...

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? Stars
I love all of their music, but "The First Five Times" always makes me smile.

11. What is the worst song by 40? OutKast
I'm not a huge fan of "Movin' Cool (The After Party)."

12. What is your favorite song by 10? Ben Folds Five
Oh geeze, that's almost impossible to answer since there are so many good ones. I'll say "Kate," but ask me tomorrow and it will probably be something totally different.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds
Hearing "Sister" for the first time, which was this insanely cathartic moment for me.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? TV on the Radio
Tie between "Wolf Like Me' and "I Was a Lover"

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? Paul Simon
How about all of it? If I had to pick a specific song though, "Diamonds on the Souls of Her Shoes."

16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? Jason Mraz
"A Beautiful Mess"

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? Eve 6
"Inside Out" though they have much, much better songs than that...

18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? Rilo Kiley
It changes every day but right now it's:
"Here’s to all the pretty words we will never speak
Here’s to all the pretty girls you're gonna meet"
- from "Breakin' Up" off Under the Blacklight

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? Jump, Little Children
I was always a Matt Bivins girl. I mean, how could you not be? The man is comparable to sex on stage...

20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? Girl Talk
You can't really pick one specific song because of how his albums are formatted, but who doesn't love it when he puts Biggie over Elton John?

21. What is a good memory involving 27? Justin Timberlake
My roommate's 23rd birthday party. Good night.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? The Rolling Stones
"You Can't Always Get What You Want"

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? Ted Leo and The Pharmacists
I can't really remember honestly. Possibly "Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone?"

24. What is your favorite album by 18? The Beatles
Rubber Soul because it's the first music I ever remember hearing. The absolute first.

25. What is your favorite song by 21? The Smashing Pumpkins
"Perfect" even though I could do without Adore as a whole...

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? Nickel Creek
"The Lighthouses Tale" which is incredibly sad.

27. What is your favorite album by 3? John Mayer
Gotta throw it back to his original demo, Inside Wants Out.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? Guster
"Either Way" which is a shame because I've never heard it live even though I've seen them a couple of times.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? Common Rotation
The first time I ever heard them was when they opened for David Mead. So whatever song they opened with I guess.

30. What is you favorite song by 8? Third Eye Blind
"I Want You" because.. well, just because.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? The Brilliant Inventions
Three or four times? I wish they would leave the city of Atlanta a bit more.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? U2
"Sunday, Bloody Sunday" even though that is the exact opposite feeling U2 probably intended...

33. How did you get into 13? Jack Johnson
I really liked the song "Bubbletoes" when I heard it on the radio.

34. What is the worst song by 45? Michael Flynn
The Bonus Track on No Disassemble cause what's the point?

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? Rosebud
"Changing of the Guard" at a solo Jay Clifford show.

36. What is the first song you ever heard by 48? The Shins
"Caring is Creepy"

None cause well, it's a cartoon band.

38. What is you favorite song by 36? The Go! Team
"Friendship Update"

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? Broken Social Scene
"7/4 (Shoreline)" which is an amazing song.

40. What is you favorite album by 7? Kanye West
Late Registration. It's a shame he's such an asshole, cause his music is so good...

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? Neutral Milk Hotel
"Kind of the Carrot Flowers Pt. One"

42. What is your favorite album by 41? Death Cab for Cutie
Plans

43. What is your favorite song by 24? Blackalicious
"Makes You Feel Tha Way" which is just a flat out, makes you feel good song

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? Something Corporate
Not a good memory exactly, but more of a good lesson. I had tickets to see them my freshman year, the night before an important Comp Lit final. I gave the tickets away. My roommate went, had an amazing time, and met the band. I stayed in my dorm room to study, still did poorly on the exam, and made a C in the class. Lesson learned: Good music is always more important than class. Always.

45. What is your favorite song by 42? Ishues
"Game Time" though pretty much everything he does is good. I wish more people knew about him.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? Dave Matthews Band
I like alot of their stuff, but I suppose "Trippin' Billies" is always a good party song.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? Andrew Bird
The Mysterious Production of Eggs

48. Who is a favorite member of 37? Incubus
Brandon Boyd. Yum.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? Rufus Wainwright
"Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" thanks again to my best friend.

50. What is your favorite song by 20? Bain Mattox
"Thorn" which is just such a great song.

A much slower rise from 40,000 to 60,000 than from 20,000 to 40,000 - blame the ipod and the lack of sproggling on it (my fault, I think it is available).

So my top 10 now looks like this:

10. (down from 7=) Green Day

9. (new entry) 4hero

8. (up from 9) The Libertines

7. (unchanged) The Beatles

6. (down from 5) Sandy Denny

5. (down from 3) The Go! Team

4. (down from 2) Yann Tiersen

3. (up from 4) Lush

2. (down from 1) Zero 7

1. (up from 6) The Futureheads

So no big changes, though the Futureheads have continued their inexorable rise to the top of my playlist on the back of their latest great album. Good to see 4Hero in the list, have been listening to them for years now.

Bubbling under and possibly to make an appearance in the 80,000 tracks top 10:

High Contrast
Camel
Hole
