Top 3 Favourite - Songs: Um, seriously?! You’re not going to give me a qualifier on that, like, ‘favourite 3 songs with the word apple in the title’? I have to pick just three?! All right: (Take A) Piece of My Heart, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Hallelujah - any and all versions thereof Albums: Radiohead - The Bends, Neil Young - After The Goldrush, The Smiths - Queen Is Dead Solo artists: Rufus Wainwright, Ryan Adams, & Dusty Springfield Band/groups: Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Belle & Sebastian Guilty pleasures: John Parr - Man In Motion, Tammy Wynette - Your Good Girl’s Gonna Go Bad, and Ministry of Sound’s Running Trax mixes Recommendations (seriously, everyone should be listening to this genius!): Jens Lekman is Sweden's finest export, Twin Shadow is like Morrissey had a lovechild with Marvin Gaye, Fuck Buttons make awesome soundscapes.

You’re not going to give me a qualifier on that, like, ‘favourite 3 songs with the word apple in the title’? -- HAHA! Sorry bb. I may have done it just to annoy the poop out of Jenn.. Good choices!
Pep Talk. We’re an electro combo who use toy xylophones. -- I do, of course, bow to your utter musical genius.
There's nothing I fear more than the 'what's your favourite record of all time?' question. I have my official favourite but that's only so I have something to say, because it's not socially acceptable to go, 'OMG, you can't just SPRING that on a person! I'm going to need two months and enough Shapries to make a hundred pie charts while I think...'
I also love Belle & Sebastian. I have listened to Dog on Wheels so many times it's ridiculous. I have a feeling we have a lot of musical crossover. Stereolab was the ringtone on my phone for ages and they were my favorite live show ever.

"Hey, Jealousy" brings back all kinds of incredibly poignant memories for me. Fantastic to see some Gin Blossoms love! And Blue Öyster Cult never goes amiss ;)
