i) Favourite Track off of album 6?
The Curse of Milhaven, although I love Henry Lee for the PJ appeareance and Stagger Lee for all the cursing.

Disco 2000, because the riff is so good
iii) Worst song on album 8?
The last song, I Know, is a bit boring
iv) Why did you buy album 1?
Because the first time I heard it, it affected me in a way that nothing ever did before, or probably ever will. That's the short answer.
v) What does track four on album 3 remind you of?
That Sessions at AOL video, in which Carlos' sunglasses start falling off while he's playing the outro.

When you're feeling shy. Which is most of the time, for me!
vii) Have you ever seen the artist/band of album 4 live?
NO=;_________________;
viii) The last track on album 7 makes you think of...
Paul Simonon being a hot young punk and playing his bass
*what is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
The first time I heard Baby Britain I was truly rapt. There's nothing really happy about that album, though.
* what is your favourite song on album 9?
Pressure Zone!

Now answer the questions according to the numbers.
+ what was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Down By The Water, way back when that CD chain store The Wall still existed!
+ what is your favourite album of 8?
Midnite Vultures
+ what is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
Oh fuck, so many good ones…Probably:
*Well I see you got a husband now
did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
you used to hold him right in your hand
But he took all he could take*
+ how many times have you seen 4 live?
6!
+ what is your favourite song of 7?
Smash it Up
+ is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Any song I’ve heard off of We Love Life, apart from Bad Cover Version and Minnie Temperly. I Want You makes me feel sorta sad too.
+ what is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
Another impossible one! Currently, I like:
*In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?*
+ how did you get in to 3?
I don’t know how I got into 3, but I sure wish 3 would get into me…
Alright, that was completely uncalled for! I’m a bit ashamed of myself right now, as I’ve got an actual story behind that: I saw Jarvis on “Current Affair” after the whole Michael Jackson thing and I thought he was awesome to the nth degree. Then I saw Pulp on David Letterman and I thought they were cool because one of the members was a girl. Years later, I bought This is Hardcore and didn’t like it. Even later, I heard “Razzmatazz” and started liking them again. Then I realized they were a lovely band of enigmatic fringe-and-non-fringe-wearers, and that Jarvis’ lyrics are constantly superb, and I loved them all over again, but this time I was more experienced.
…I guess the extra-shortened version of that would’ve been: BABIES + PANTIES TOTP
+ what was the first song you heard by 1?
If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next. Poor me…
+ What is your favourite song by 4?
PDA, because the outro is beautiful
+ what is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Not liking them until a penpal put “Cemetary Gates” on a mix, then being charmed instantly.

Guess I‘m Doing Fine, most of Sea Change.
