1. What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Concering the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois

2. What is your favourite album of 2?
Definitely In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Fucking superb album.

3. What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
"The static clatter, the anti-matter, the pitter patter of your mind as I lie awake trying to take it all in."

4. How many times have you seen 4 live?
Never.. No one comes to New Zealand.

5. What is your favourite song by 7?
The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth
Very Modest Mouse, perhaps that's why I love it so much.

6. What is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
Listening to Weird Divide whilst walking to Simon's and thinking… shit this is so appropriate. "Far below a furry moon our purposes crossed the weird divide between our kind."

7. Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad?
Not really.. but Masterfade is rather melancholic. Andrew Bird doesn't really make sad music, more like beautiful music.

8. What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
Everything Jeff Mangum writes is beautiful… but I'd have to say

"The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come."

9. What is your favourite song by 9?
Red Right Ankle, god it's brilliant.

10. How did you get in to 3?
I can't remember exactly.. I'd heard that Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs was an incredibly good album. I listened to 'A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left' and was blown away immediately, which is a rare occurence.

11. What was the first song you heard by 1?
Paper Thin Walls on bfm years ago… except at the time I had no idea what I was listening to.

12. What is your favourite song by 4?
The District Sleeps Alone Tonight… closely followed by Recycled Air.

13. How many time have you seen 9 live?
Hah, er never. I reiterate the fact that New Zealand is in the middle of nowhere.

14. What is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Going to uni in the train everyday and listening obsessively to 'In the Aeroplane'

15. Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
Track… it's sad and beautiful.

16. What is your favourite album of 5?
Hrmm shit, that's incredibly hard to answer. Two incredibly good albums… I'll have to say Pegasus.

17. What is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?
"I'm all for moderation
But somtimes it seems
Moderation itself can be kind of extreme
So I join the congregation
Join the softball team
I went in for my conformation
Where incense looks like steam
I start conjugating proverbs
Where there once were nouns
This whole damn rhyme scheme's
Starting to get me down… "

Oh God! Too many beloved songs. Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset or Dramamine.
