How many times have you seen 8 live?
(Eels) Once! They had an amazing show at Lollapalooza... playing all their songs like crazy rock songs.
What is your favorite album of 1?
(They Might Be Giants) "John Henry." It's a masterpiece.
What is a great memory you have considering 9?
(OK Go) It's not really a MEMORY, per se, but the fact that I loved them before the treadmill video makes me all warm inside.
What was the first song you heard by 8?
