1. How did you get into 29? (Madonna)
Um, I pretty much got into Madonna when I was little, when my dad would play it in his little Toyota work truck, going to school, baseball games, or wherever else. I can remember "La Isla Bonita" being my first favorite, but I didn't return to her until probably 6th grade, but since then she's been a staple in my music.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Bright Eyes)
Sadly, it was "Lover I Don't Have to Love," but it was enough to introduce me to all of his stuff.

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? (Architecture in Helsinki)
"I found you in a lost-in-found."

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (The Beatles)
Probably "1" or "The White Album." I'm no big, deep fan of them so I wouldn't expect to delve deep into their discography, but I do enjoy the classics.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Pat Benatar)
I am pretty sure my dad has her greatest hits.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (The Sounds)
The Sounds are a band that I listen to when I want an upbeat mood, but I'd have to say "Queen of Apology (Fall Out Boy Remix)" is mildly saddening.

Her only one, "Taylor Swift," which is amazing, and she has a new one coming out this fall.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Iron & Wine)
"He Lays in the Reins," it is pretty much one of my favorite songs of all time. The mixture of mellow country folk sounds with Italian opera is pretty ingenious.

"We Looked Like Giants."

Once, and it was the best show I have ever seen. It will be extremely hard to live up to that whole night.
