11 is actually listed as "Jimi Hendrix," but I thought that wasn't fair, so I gave it to my boy Jonathan.

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
This is difficult to remember, but probably something well-known, like Squeeze Box or Baba O'Riley. Probably Baba O'Riley.

What is your favorite album of 2?
It's hard to say. I…

4) Of Montreal
5) Okkervil River
6) Elliott Smith
7) Sufjan Stevens
8) Against Me!
9) The Hold Steady
10) The Weakerthans

This is a real fucked up list because of these ten, I listen to maybe one still on a somewhat regular basis, and that would be the Beatles, so it doesn't even count. But I'll answer the questions anyway, because I'm bored and what else is there to do, really?

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
"Waltz #2 (XO)."

My favorite thing about the Weakerthans is Virtute the Cat. (Which, by the way, I have thought for years was actually Virtue. I just found out that I was wrong that whole time. Apparently it is pronounced "Vir-too-tay." I had no goddamn idea!)

On Reconstruction Site, their 2003 album, the fifth track is called Plea From A Cat Named Virtute I would post the lyrics, but if you're that interested, a Google search should bring them up immediately. The narrative is told from a cat's perspective. The cat is talking to her owner, who is evidently a lonely alcoholic,…

My top 10 on here is slightly off, so here is a list of my real top 10 favorites. Apart from the first two, they are not in any specific order because I find that assigning them an order is far too difficult and not worth the amount of effort I'm sure I'd want to put forth.

Against Me!
Radiohead
Okkervil River
The Velvet Underground
Sufjan Stevens
Of Montreal
The Replacements
Bob Dylan
The Exploding Hearts
Television

Do you ever just stop listening to a band for no reason and then five months later rediscover them and fall in complete and total love? I'm sure you do. That just happened to me with Pavement.

What a great band. Over the past three days I've been watching the Slow Century DVD. There is some great footage. It's too bad they broke up. Stephen Malkmus has said, however, that there is a possibility they will get back together. Then again, I have also read that him and Spiral Stairs don't have a good relationship, so it's not very likely…

my top band chart is so misleading. I don't like Architecture in Helsinki very much. I have no idea why they are so high up on the list. I think I accidentally left the album playing on repeat all through the night once.
