The musician's Revealing Music Selection: Exploring His Favorite Tunes

My initial musical crush
On a crisp seasonal day, I was home sick when I was six years old. My parent inquired, "Have you really not listened to the Beatles? She played Help! the movie, after which I kept replaying it using her device all day long.

My karaoke go-to
Anything David Bowie is really fun, like Fame or Queen Bitch. Nobody replicates Bowie, yet I adore the vibe. Recently I performed Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which bored everyone, yet I enjoyed myself.

The debut physical music I owned
Peers enjoyed Paradise by the band Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto at the bookstore. This happened on my initial Los Angeles trip. I wanted to get some music. I acquired those two albums on the same day.

The song I inexplicably know every lyric to
My older brother owned Incredibad from the comedy group on CD. He listened to it repeatedly while traveling. As a youth listening to content deemed inappropriate was really fun.

The ideal party track
Best of My Love by the Emotions since it feels joyful. It has a perfect beat. It's easy listening, cool and challenging, therefore fitting for various tastes.

The track I avoid now
When I discovered rock'n'roll, I adored Guns N' Roses. When I first listened to that famous track, I grew fascinated, though presently I skip it.

The best song to cover
Currently, my band and I perform Another Girl, Another Planet. I love that song.

The transformative music
I appear in the music video for that punk track. I acted as the youthful counterpart of the vocalist. It was my first music video. It introduced intense audio, driving me toward alternative culture.

The song that makes me cry
Alvvays' Belinda Says.

The memorial service music
My dad and I have an inside joke concerning this idea. I'm not sure if I want it, but Half Gate by Grizzly Bear.
