Now answer the questions according to the numbers:

(1) What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
I don't think I'd heard any until the first time I listened to Transistor Radio, so I guess that means it was You Still Believe in Me.

(2) What is your favourite album of 2?
2.

(3) What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
Hmm. I'm sure I used to have some particular favourite, but I forget now, so I'll just choose something I like.

"If you could be anything you want,
I bet you'd be disappointed: am I right?"

(4) How many times have you seen 4 live?
lol I'm going to kill myself.

(5) What is your favourite song by 7?
For now, Maroon Bible.

(6) What is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
Well gee, I only got into her recently. No time for memories yet.

(7) Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
In a way, lots of them: generally, in a sort of "I'm going to explode with the overwhelming amount of joyous love and emotion" kind of way.

(8) What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
Aw man, they're all about the lyriczzz.

[Typewriter sounds] "Dear Maam and Sir... no...
To whom it may concern... no...
Oh, I know,
Dear Mr. And Mrs. Troublemaker...
I wanna marry your son."


(9) What is your favourite song by 9?
Because I'm totally cool, The Body Breaks (the Devendra Banhart cover).

(10) How did you get into 3?
Yay a question that makes me look stupid. I saw them live twice then realised they were more than just enjoyable some time later, upon hearing Who Could Win a Rabbit? and subsequently downloading lots. Because I'm really commercial and hip to the new music trendz, you know?

(11) What was the first song you heard by 1?
I have no idea.

(12) What is your favourite song by 4?
Yeesh. Oh Comely?

(13) How many time have you seen 9 live?
0.

(14) What is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Being in the chalet at ATP.

(15) Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Is that possible?

(16) What is your favourite album of 5?
The Moon and Antarctica

(17) What is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?
Their lyrics are ambiguous so I can't be sure, but I believe that The Purple Bottle begins with the line "I got a big big big heartbeat".

(18) What is your favourite song of 1?
This Beard Is for Siobhan, probably.

(19) What is your favourite song of 10?
Kidnapped by Neptune vs. Pom Poms vs. Safety Pants.

(20) How many times have you seen 7 live?
Why does this meme hate me?

(21) What is your favourite album of 1?
Rejoicing in the Hands

(22) What is a great memory you have considering 9?
I don't have any of those.

(23) What was the first song you heard by 8?
I don't know.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/andradiowires/journal/2006/02/06/1yb1_ooh_la_la Mon, 6 Feb 2006 20:04:39 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/andradiowires/journal/2006/02/06/1yb1_ooh_la_la Like, OMG, our top 25 of 2005 is up.
