Trying to avoid writing my Statement of Intent for my Thesis Project

15 Apr 2008, 22:57

1. How did you get into 29?
Box Car Racer: They were on in TopShop once. I wouldn’t say I was ‘into them’

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
Placebo: You Don’t Care About Us or PlayNancy Boy I think. Then all else in as rapid succession as Molko/Olsdall/Hewitt would permit. Although not definitive, Placebo had a big part in my formative years.

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33?
Marilyn Manson: Dead will dance for what is left/Worms will wait with baited breath.

4. What is your favorite album by 49?
Simian Mobile Disco: Attack Decay Sustain Release. The album of 2007. Easily.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Matchbook Romance: None, thank christ. They are seemingly an unfortunate fallout of my penchant for “Radio that sounds like Taking Back Sunday” Emo vices bite me on the ass all the time.

6. What is your favorite song by 50?
Straylight Run: I don’t think I probably have one – I don’t think they’re probably that good.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad?
Senses Fail: Bloody Romance is the only one I can really remember – I have an EP somewhere but they’re not that noteworthy.

8. What is your favorite album by 15?
Armor For Sleep: Pass, but they did a nice cover of a The Smashing Pumpkins Song.

9. What is your favorite song by 5?
Sparta: PlayCut Your Ribbon, without a shadow of a doubt. But I know someone who would probably disagree with me. I can’t think what his favourite would be, but I’m sure he’s told me more than once.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
My Chemical Romance: Thankyou For the Venom. My Chemical Romance are so cheesy and angsty and corporate woop.

11. What is your favorite album by 40?
We Are Scientists: There’s only the one, isn’t there?? The cat one. With Love and Squalor.

12. What is your favorite song by 10?
The Smiths: At the moment, PlaySweet and Tender Hooligan. Of all time, Pretty Girls Make Graves (obviously)

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Ben Folds Five: I went to the The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner Tour when it was at the Albert Hall with my Dad. It was easily the best gig I’ve ever been to, and it will take a lot to beat it. It was the last one before they split :o(

14. What is your favorite song by 38?
Weezer: What’s with these homies dissin’ my girl? Why do they gotta front? Haha not that one. Probably No One Else but there was one Mini put on a mixtape for me when we were 15/16 that I really liked but I don’t know which one it was. (10mins later at Q28: Island in the Sun just came on and that’s pretty good, but a bit new??)

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
Nine Inch Nails: No. They all make me insecure, edgy and paranoid. That’s why I like Nine Inch Nails.

16. How many times have you seen 25 live?
Jamie T: Once. At Glasto 2007. He was amazing, but the sound in the tent was terrible unfortunately. He did a lovely cover of PlayA New England by Billy Bragg. And my Dad liked him too.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
The Used: I don’t know what it’s called. But I knew the song before I knew it was by them.

18. What is your favorite album by 11?
Hawthorne Heights: I don’t even know who they are :o(

19. Who is a favorite member of 1?
The Smashing Pumpkins: I love them all. Iha was a legend, Auf De Maur was a bit of a twat. Billy Corgan is lovely though, I kind of want to lick his shiny baldie head. But I miss his hair too.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Finch: I think they were on at a Reading Festival I was at, but I don’t remember seeing them. Might have. Other than that, no.

21. What is a good memory involving 27?
A Perfect Circle: They were playing in a teeshirt shop in NewQuay when me and Brooker went on our Cornwall Pirate Search with her little Polish Mother.

22. What is your favorite song by 16?

Arctic Monkeys: Fake Tales of San Francisco

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26?

27. What is your favorite album by 3?
Fall Out Boy: It can only be Take This to Your Grave. I have them all. This is the best. Definitely.

28. What is your favorite song by 2?
Taking Back Sunday: I like a lot. Current favourite is What’s it Feel Like to be a Ghost. All-time favourite is You’re so Last Summer (she said don’t/don’t let it go to your head/boys like you are a dime a dozen/boys like you are a dime a dozen/she said/ you’re a touch/ over-rated/ you’re a lush/ and I hate it)

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32?
Interpol: C’mere

30. What is your favorite song by 8?
Radiohead: Fucking Hell. At the moment, I love Myximatosis cuz I heard them play it live on Radio 2. All-time? PlayExit Music (for a Film) or PlayJust or PlayBlow Out or Polyethylene? I don’t know. Too much of a commitment; sorry.

Panic! At The Disco: I actually don’t care what anyone says – A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is a very good album on all levels.
