Sometimes I am too lazy to wrap Christmas presents.
Name your top 10 most played bands on iTunes (Or Last.FM):
1. John Mayer
2. Jason Mraz
3. David Crowder Band
4. Sister Hazel
5. Panic! at the Disco
6. Dave Matthews Band
7. Incubus
8. Usher
9. Dashboard Confessional
10. Jack Johnson
What is the first song that you heard by #6 (DMB)?
Probably "Crash." Pretty much the most-played Dave song.
What is your favorite album by #2 (Jason Mraz)?
"Mr. A-Z," probably. I like it better than "Waiting for My Rocket to Come," and those are his only two albums.
What is your favorite lyric that #5 (Panic) has sung?
I'm not really that into Panic lyrics. I like their songs as a whole.
How many times have you seen #4 (Sister Hazel) live?
Never. Yet.
What is your favorite song by #7 (Incubus)?
Well, I'd give it a tie between "I Miss You" and "Dig" at this point.
What is a good memory you have involving the music of #10 (Jack Johnson)?
My favorite Jack song is "Do You Remember?" and at the end of the summer I went to La Jolla to hear my friend David's band (Mimulus) play their last house show before all the members went off to college. And They did a random acoustic set at one point and David asked me what song I wanted to hear, absentmindedly playing the intro to "Do You Remember?" as he was asking. I laughed and said, "That."
Is there a song by #3 (David Crowder) that makes you sad?
"Obsession" takes me back in time a bit. It makes me sad because I've left that life behind and that era has ended.
What's your favorite lyric that #2 (Jason) has written?
It's part of the song "Bella Luna" on the album "Mr. A-Z."
"You are the queen and king combining everything, intertwining like the ring around the finger of a girl -- I'm just a singer; you're the world. All I can bring you is the language of a lover."
How did you get into #3 (David Crowder)?
Jonathan.
What was the first song you heard by #1 (John Mayer)?
That single that was so cool, "No Such Thing." I got hooked on John Mayer just like everybody else who watched MTV did. Nothing special.
What is your favorite song by #4 (Sister Hazel)?
That's tough. I'd say either "In the Moment" or "Everything Else Disappears."
How many times have you seen #9 (Dashboard Confessional) live?
Once. They opened for Weezer about four years ago.
What is a good memory you have involving #2 (Jason)?
Singing in my car with Hayden.
Is there a song by #8 (Usher) that makes you sad?
I'm pretty sure that's not the point of Usher.
What is your favorite album of #5 (Panic)?
The only album they have.
What is your favorite lyric that #6 (DMB) has sung?
"So here we are tonight, you and me together. The storm's outside; the fire's bright. Oh, and in your eyes I see what's on my mind. You've got me wild, turned around inside. Oh and then desire, see, is creeping up heavy." It's the beginning of "Say Goodbye," which is my favorite Dave song.
What is your favorite song by #1 (John Mayer)?
"Comfortable." Hands down.
What is your favorite song by #10 (Jack Johnson)?
"Do You Remember?"
How many times have your seen #8 (Usher) live?
None, unfortunately. I was planning to go to the Usher/Kanye concert...but, alas.
What is your favorite album by #1 (John Mayer)?
I don't know. "Room for Squares" is cute, and "Heaver Things" is beautiful...but my favorite song is just a B-side. So, I don't know.
What is a great memory you have of #9 (Dashboard)?
I don't know. The song "Reason to Believe" is just one of those epic night driving songs...last night it played while I was in the car with Hayden on the way to ComedySportz at SDA...it felt pretty epic and Encinitas-y.
What is the first song that you heard by #7 (Incubus)?
"Drive." I remember being in Vanessa's room with Ben [wow, back in the day] and having it come on the radio. I didn't know it, but Ben did. I liked it because he liked it. Little did I know I'd end up an Incubus fan.
What is your favorite cover by #4 (Sister Hazel)?
I haven't heard any covers by Sister Hazel. I wish that this question had been about Dave Matthews because his cover of "All Along the Watchtower" is pretty incredible.
