The musician's Candid Music Selection: Unpacking His Soundtrack of Life

The first song I fell in love with
On a crisp seasonal day, I stayed home ill when I was six years old. My mother wondered, "Have you really not listened to the Beatles? She started Help! the film, after which I kept replaying it through her music player all day long.

The song I do at karaoke
David Bowie songs is really fun, such as Fame or Queen Bitch. No one sounds like Bowie, but I love the energy. Recently I performed Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, that made people lose interest, yet I enjoyed myself.

The debut physical music I owned
Kids my age liked Paradise by Coldplay, so I acquired Mylo Xyloto from the retail chain. This happened on my initial Los Angeles trip. I wanted to get some music. I purchased both Coldplay and Thriller during that visit.

The track whose lyrics I memorized
My older brother owned Incredibad by the humorous ensemble as a compact disc. He had it on regularly in the car. As a youth listening to something you're not supposed to was really fun.

The ideal party track
Best of My Love by the Emotions as it appears cheerful. It has a perfect beat. It's accessible music, stylish yet complex, therefore fitting for various tastes.

The music I skip these days
During my rock introduction, I loved Guns N' Roses. Initially experiencing the well-known song, I became obsessed, but now I can't hear it.

The ideal track to perform
Right now, we musicians play Another Girl, Another Planet. I enjoy that piece.

The song that changed my life
I appear in the music video for Guilt Trip by Pup. I portrayed the younger self of the singer. This marked my video debut. It awakened me to louder music, guiding me to indie realms.

The tear-jerking melody
That Alvvays number.

The memorial service music
There's a running gag about this topic. I'm not sure if I want it, though that Grizzly Bear song.
