What is your favorite lyric that 5 has sung?

it makes perfect sense for children to practice having love affairs at summer camp,
it's practical evolution;
the perfect chance to pollenate another city with blanks.
only seeming more intentional than the seeds of a dead dandelion
getting caught in the breeze and the act that follows,
you'd like to think of as a passive fertilization,
well it might be as dodgy deliberate as the bar scene or date rape.
it makes perfect sense for children to practice making sex at summer camp.

How many times have you seen 4 live?
Never, when they first started out, I didn't really like Coldplay, I thought they were just Radiohead copycats… when I actually got around to liking them, ticket prices were sky-high…

What is your favorite song by 7?
Right Where it Belongs
Simple melody, powerful message… Home gets a honorable mention, though

What is a good memory you have involving 10?
One of the funniest scenes of a short film I made during my first year in college had Seventeen playing in the background.

Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad?
You can't help to feel some kind of sadness everytime you listen to Iron & Wine… but The trapeze Swinger reminds me of a sad moment

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
I like Portishead for their music… I barely listen to the lyrics.
Right Where it Belongs
What is your favorite song by 9?
I like just about every song he has ever made but Crosses always moves me…

How did you get in to 3?
My friend Bryan and I were swapping some remixes by the Postal Service and one of his was tagged as being a new Postal Service song called "Iron & Wine"… it was actually Iron & Wine's cover of Such Great Heights. I figured it was a mistake but didn't look into it right away. About a year later, I heard The Trapeze Swinger and I've been hooked ever since.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
Hmmm really hard to tell because come on, every hipster around me was listening to radiohead in the late 90's. maybe creep, maybe fade out, maybe paranoid android… but THE song that hooked me to radiohead was talk show host

What is your favorite song by 4?
Again, hard to tell… Lately, I've been digging See You Soon (acoustic) but there's no sole favorite….

How many time have you seen 9 live?
Sadly never… the only time I've heard of him coming to Montreal, I was out of town…

What is a good memory you have involving 2?
Lunch at the Philantrope!. Playing Pool with le vieux caribou.

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
For me, The Shins are chock full of happy memories… but I must admit Saint Simon reminds me of people that I won't see for a while.

What is your favorite album of 5?
The only one that I know of: Hymie's Basement.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?

please remember me, finally
and all my uphill clawing
my dear, but if i make the Pearly Gates
i’ll do my best to make a drawing
of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl
an angel kissin’ on a sinner
a monkey and a man, a marching band
all around the frightened trapeze-swinger

What is your favorite song by 10?
Destroy Everything You Touch, followed closely (litteraly!) by International Dateline

How many times have you seen 8 live?
Never… I don't think that they've ever played in montreal…

What is your favorite album by 1?
Hail to the Thief

What is a good memory you have involving 9?
I can't write it on a website ;)

What was the first song you heard by 8?
Know Your Onion!

What is your favorite cover by 2?
