What music are you currently grooving too? Passion Pit, Black Keys, Sleigh Bells, Mumford & Sons
What, if push comes to shove, is your all-time favorite album? Neon Bible by Arcade Fire...hands down!
What was the first album you ever bought? And where did you buy it? My first CDs I bought were Sound Garden’s Superunknown & Nirvana’s Nevermind. I got them when I was in the 6th grade, while I was in Missoula, MT at the best record store ever, Rockin’ Rudy’s.
What does your Saturday night mixed tape look like? Probably a little bit of hip-hop, some Modest Mouse, Cold War Kids and Arcade Fire.
And your Sunday morning mixed take? If it is a lazy Sunday morning, my play list might have some reggae, a little bit of Death Cab for Cutie, and I might through in some Johnny Cash. But if it’s a house cleaning kind of Sunday morning then something a little more upbeat like White Stripes, Interpol, or Modest Mouse.
What’s your all time favorite movie? Oh man, I have so many…but if I had to pick one, it would be one of John Cusacks first films: Better off Dead. It’s a cheesy ‘80’s movie!
