1. How did you get into 29? (Fred & Ginger)
I love classic movies, and I love Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and I love their movies. So naturally I had to put some of their songs on my iPod. They’re so much fun!

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Aaliyah)
Are You That Somebody? It was a great video.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Thom Yorke)
From his solo album, probably all of Analyse. The first line rolls off the tongue so well:

A self-fulfulling prophecy of endless possibility

And also maybe Harrowdown Hill. With Radiohead…the list is endless! The lyrics from A Wolf at the Door are so much fun, and are so meaningful with so much subtext…so probably the whole song.

4. How did you get into 49? (Otis Redding)
Watching those old Time Life music informercials at 2 in the morning. Also, I made a CD of his songs for my mom and I ended up loving it too.

1. How did you get into 29?

Elliott Smith; actually because of my Jeff Buckley obsession. My friend sent me a copy of a free cd from the magazine Les Inrockuptibles because it had a live version of Grace on it. the others songs included Keep It A Secret (Jay-Jay Johanson), In The Sun (Joseph Arthur), Goodnight Moon (Shivaree), 10x2 (Sophie Moleta), and happiness (the gondola man) (Elliott Smith). I loved it straight away and was partly deceived by a lot of his other tracks. this was back in 1999. or maybe 2000.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?

John Frusciante; the first song on the first album I ever bought by him (To Record Only Water For Ten Days). I bought it because I read a very good review when it came out but I'd never heard a single song by him before. the song to open the album is Going Inside and it's amazing.

01. How did you get into #31?
Watching the movie Unfaithful. Correction, watching the trailer for the movie is how I got into them. There was a song called Nara on the trailer that just sucked me right into E.S. Posthumus. I can never get enough of their music.

02. What was the first song you ever heard by #22?
I've listened to Prince since I was a small child, so there's no telling what the first song I ever heard by him was. However, one of the songs that's in my earlier memories is probably Purple Rain.

03. What's your favorite lyric by #41 ?
From [track artist=Ani Difranco]Gravel[/track} by Ani DiFranco:

I heard the sound of your bike/As your wheels hit the gravel/And your engine in the driveway, cutting off/I pushed through the screen door/And I stood out on the porch/Thinking fight, fight, fight, at all costs/But instead I let you in/Just like I've always done
