I did a random search for a song to see what came up in my writing history. Here's a survey I took five years ago. And my comments now, in bold.

1: I hate it when people ask who my favorite band is. Or my top 5 favorite bands. I think scenarios are required. Work was awful today. What sort of music do you put on? Favorite example?
if work was awful, then i’m pissed off at someone. this requires angry music. how about alice in chain’s “angry chair”?
Generally at this point I will listen to music that is exhausting to listen to... Gojira, Electric Wizard, "Jambi", stuff that rattles the brain and forces you to listen.

2: Your lover just dumped you like an old couch along the backroads. You’re devastated. Who do you listen to now?
right off i listen to stabbing westward’s “desperate now”. then i turn on something obnoxious like le tigre.
This hasn't happened in a while. Last time I had a crappy relationship, I went for music that I knew I wouldn't like anymore in a few weeks/months, like pop-rock, so as not to taint any decent music.

3: You loved Milli Vanilli. What was your favorite song?
no i didn’t. fuck you.

4: If you’re getting ready to go out, what sort of music do you put on? Favorite example?
tool. prison sex.
If I'm going out, I'm probably going to do something musical. I like to have silence beforehand. Otherwise, probably the same things as usual.

5: Are you allowed to listen to music at work?
yes.

6: If you were in a band, what instrument would you want to play?
bass.
No idea. Haven't bothered with instruments.

7: Are you in a band? What genre?
no.

8: Does the whole genre definition thing piss you off, particularly when you’re looking for something at a large chain store?
no. i think it separates the shit from the good stuff.
I think it helps give an idea of what the music is... even a crappy definition of the music by genre is better than nothing.

9: What’s your favorite local band (your locale, not mine)?
the only local band i know of is everclear, and i stopped liking their music before i was sixteen.
I'm going to write something on this eventually.

10: Is there a singer/band that you detest so strongly that you’d rather jump off a cliff to sure death than listen? More than one, you say? Well, tell all.
creed.
If I don't like a band/style/etc I probably will adequately avoid it enough to maintain a somewhat neutral standpoint. Seems wasteful to hate that much.

11: What instrument did you play in grade school/jr. high/high school? Did you want to play that instrument?
the only one i played at any time was a flutophone/recorder. no.

12: What’s your DJ name? (Make one up.)
saturnine.

13: Do you have any cool community radio stations (no Clear Channel clones)?
community? what a joke.

14: Do you go to many concerts? How often?
when my favorite bands come by. this is like once every four years.
Last year it was about twice a month, this year about once a month on average...

15: Which band/group/singer have you seen the most in the past year? How many times?
none. in total, i’ve seen a lot of maynard.
I've seen Red Fang, Tweak Bird, Buzz/Dale/Jared/Coady, Danava, and Black Elk all twice this year. Aside from probably Melvins/Business the rest may tie for three unless I get ambitious or feel awful/run out of money.

16: Do band members ever recognize you/your name? Do you think they like you or are they frightened?
i think danny lohner was annoyed by me. that, or curiously intimidated, up until i realized as much and was intimidated myself.
for the record, we never met. it was the whole eye contact thing.
i’m sure he’ll remember me and my overly serious ways if he continues doing concerts with nin. i’m not easily forgettable.
A couple of guys who I know primarily online know me by name. A couple of bands know me pretty well by now in person but not on a personal level, just recognition since I stand out. The few I've met seem mildly amused, not frightened. Possibly pissed one or two of them off by being antisocial.

17: Using what you know about me (yeah, so that’s likely nothing), if I started a band, what should it be called?
fucktards anonymous.

18: What would your band be called?
le fromage mer.
Turtles With Herpes.

Yeah. That wasn't as interesting as I was hoping it would be.
