Favorite song by 6: "Don't Get Lost in Heaven" going into "Demon Days." UGH! SO EFFING GOOD!
How did you get into 9? Terra Laine Bogart blessed me with discovering that I had a long lost brother named Brother Ali. I thank the goddesses everyday that she aided in this.
Who is the best looking member of 3?: Hmm... Well, I guess Sufjan Stevens.
Best memory of 4: Seeing them live in Detroit with Terra, Maggie, Diana and some dude who I didn't talk to. I was completely blown away. A close second would be seeing them live in Brooklyn with Matt. They had so much energy, and they played for hours. Amazing.
A friend that likes 10: TLB. That's how I heard of them!
Do you own 2's CD?: Boxset, baby! I almost started crying that Christmas, many many moons ago, when I tore the wrapping from my last present and saw it. I was so happy. I love Led Zeppelin so much.
How did 7 get their name?: I'd have to assume his parents gave it to him...
Favorite video from 8: Oh, I've never seen a Rusted Root music video. Who knows if that even exists?
How long have you liked 1?: Since the very moment I heard "Little Plastic Castle." I was a sophomore in high school, and I was hanging out with my homegirl, Erin, and she put it on when we were hanging out in her room. God, I remember that moment so vividly. I must say, though, it was Miss Diana that showered me with numerous burned CDs, which was, really, when my obsession started.
How many cds do you own by 5?: I don't own any CDs, it's all on my computer. But I do have some rockin' tapes back home!
Do 8 and 9 have anything in common?: Hm. I'm sure. Everyone has something in common with everyone else, man, that's just, like, life, broseph, ya know, man?
Do 3 and 10 have anything in common?: See above.
Do 1 and 5 have anything in common?: YES. THEY ARE BOTH GOD.
A friend that likes 2: Jessica Richardson. Good woman. I miss her!
A friend that hates 1: My namesame, Amanda B. Though "hate" might be too strong of a word. I was actually just talking about this with B and H. I remember Amanda sitting in my apartment saying that she's not the biggest fan of Ani's, and proceeded to imitate what she thought she sounded like. Hilarious. I still laugh about that. Good woman.
How many times have you seen 9 live?: Never. And it makes me want to cry.
How many times have you seen 7 live?: Never. Sadly.
How many times have you seen 1 live?: AHH, too many times to count. And everytime is a religious experience. I just saw Ani in Lyons!!! Sitting underneath the wide Colorado sky, stars like I've never seen before, and huge, luminous fireflies, with my two besties, B and H. Ani's simply stunning.
Favorite member of 2: Jimmy Page. Though this is just an unfair question...
Do you have any merch from 9?: No.
What if 4 toured with 5?: I'd probably start crying, for two reasons: 1. Because that would be glorious in ways my mind can't even comprehend 2. Because that would mean Frank Sinatra came back from the dead, and that's just wild.
First song you heard by 8: WOW, good question. I'm not even sure... I owe Rusted Root to my sister, Ames.
Favorite song by 3: Very difficult question, I'd say... "The Dress Looks Nice on You"
Which is your favorite of these?: Ani. But they are all my favorites.
Least favorite?: DJ GoFuckYaSelf.
Marf!
