The musician's Honest Music Selection: Unpacking His Soundtrack of Life
The track that captured my heart
On a crisp seasonal day, I felt unwell and stayed in when I was six years old. My mother wondered, "You've never heard the Beatles before? She put on Help! the film, and then I listened to it on loop using her device throughout the day.
My karaoke go-to
David Bowie songs is really fun, such as Fame or Queen Bitch. Nobody replicates Bowie, but I love the energy. Lately I sang Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which didn't engage the crowd, yet I enjoyed myself.
The debut physical music I owned
Friends were into Paradise by the band Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto from Barnes & Noble. It was during my first LA visit. I wanted to get some music. I purchased both Coldplay and Thriller on the same day.
The track whose lyrics I memorized
My brother possessed Incredibad from the comedy group in physical format. He played it constantly during drives. Being young and hearing material considered off-limits felt exciting.
The best song to play at a party
Best of My Love by the Emotions since it feels joyful. Its tempo is flawless. It's accessible music, cool and challenging, so it suits everyone.
The track I avoid now
As I explored rock music, I loved Guns N' Roses. Initially experiencing that famous track, I grew fascinated, but now I can't hear it.
The perfect number to reinterpret
At present, we musicians play Another Girl, Another Planet. I enjoy that piece.
The transformative music
I'm featured in the visual for the Pup song. I portrayed the younger self of the frontman. This marked my video debut. It awakened me to louder music, guiding me to indie realms.
The song that makes me cry
Alvvays' Belinda Says.
The final farewell track
There's a running gag regarding this matter. I'm not sure if I want it, but Half Gate by Grizzly Bear.
