    1. How did you get into 29 (The Decemberists)?
    I saw one of their people on the Colbert Report!

    2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22 (!!!)?
    I think it was 'A New Name'.. and I hated it.  But now I love that song.

    3. How many albums by 12 (TOKIO) do you own?
    None, fortunately. They've got some good songs, but nothing I need a lot of. 

    4. What is your favourite song by 5 (Ratatat)?
    Oh dear... that's hard.  A three-way tie between Gettysburg, Seventeen Years, and Wildcat

    5. What is your favorite song by 15 (Final Fantasy)?
    Please Please Please or Adventure.exe, I think.

    6. Is there a song by 6 (Nightwish) that makes you happy?
    The Islander.  Also, I wish I had an Angel, just because the bass line makes me joyful. 

    7. What is your favourite song by 10 (Basshunter)?
    I know Dota is the expected answer, but I really like Boten Anna. (and Dota)

    8. What is a good memory you have involving 30 (Southern All-Stars)?
    The first time my host family showed them to me, on a DVD in the car, with the kids bouncing up and down and singing along, and me thinking... holy cow, an actually good Japanese band?

    9. Is there a song by 19 (Malajube) that makes you happy?
    La Russe

    10. How many times have you seen 23 (The Weakerthans) live?
    Nevar.  But I don't know how they would sound live, so it's just as well.  I think the singer's voice might be just a smidge too whiny in person.

    11. What is the first song you ever heard by 26 (Emilie Simon)?
    I don't remember... I think it might have been Fleur de Saison.  \m/

    12. What is your favourite album by 11 (Seatrain)?
    Their first one- Seatrain.  =P

    13. Who is your favourite member of 1 (Stars)?
    I have no fucking clue.

    14. Have you ever seen 14 (Yoshida Brothers) live?
    No, but that would rule asses.

    15. What is a good memory involving 27 (The Fratellis)?
    Driving along in Maine with my family, rocking out to Flathead, everyone singing along to the nonsense.

    16. What is your favourite song by 16 (Andrew Bird)?
    I'm not sure yet... I really like Lull, just because of the music video... but how could I possibly not love a romance between a man and a squid?

    17. What is your favourite album by 18 (Squirrel Nut Zippers)?
    Perennial Favorites, prolly.

    18. What is your favorite song by 21 (Ataraxia)?
    Mnemosine, s'what got me hooked. 

    19. What is the first song you ever heard by 25 (The Softlightes)?
    I don't remember, but it was probably either Heart Made of Sound or The Microwave Song.

    20. What is your favourite album by 2 (The Beatles)?
    Are you serious?  I love all the different periods of the Beatles for different reasons... I guess for early Beatles it would be Please Please Me, Mid would be Help!, and late... White Album.

    21. What is your favourite song by 3 (Jethro Tull)?
    So very tough.  I guess.... a tie between Bouree and Jojn Barleycorn, unless of course it's Aqualung... that few moments in Aqualung where they switch from the second section to the third is just... orgasmic.

    22. What is your favourite song by 8 (The 1900s)?
    It used to be When I Say Go, but now I think it's The Medium Way

    23. How many times have you seen 17 (Fleet Foxes) live?
    Nevar.

    24. What is the worst song by 13 (Koda Kumi)?
    Oh goodness... she's terrible.  Absolutely terrible.  But somehow... so catchy and listenable. I have no idea what that would make her worst song.... probably Cutie Honey, sorry anime peoples.

    25. What was the first song you ever heard by 28 (Feist)?
    My Moon My Man

    26. What is your favourite album by 7 (Dissection)?
    Reinkaos.  Dur. It's them at their peak, and it's got Maha Kali on it!

    And for some reason this cuts off at 26 even though there are 30 bands, so lets make some up!:

    27. How many times have you seen 20 (Gnarls Barkley) live?
    *sigh* Never. This is depressing.

    28. What is your favourite song by 24 (Devin Townsend)?
    Ziltoid the Omnicient.  AMAZING.

    29. What is your favourite album by 13 (Koda Kumi... again?)?
    No clue. None.

    30. What is the worst song by 9 (Fountains of Wayne)?
    Stacy's Mom.
