nicked from Richie:
>what was the first album you ever bought?: I bought stuff before this, but I remember buying Sepultura's Chaos AD, the Judgment Night soundtrack, and a King Missile CD around 1992.
>what is the first album you can remember listening to?: Thriller, by Michael Jackson. I was about four.
>what was the last album you bought?: Radiohead's I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings.
>what was the last CD you listened to?: Cake's Fashion Nugget.
>how many albums do you currently own?: Probably over 200 CDs and about that many tapes--if people would return what they borrow.
>which one of your albums do you wish you had never wasted your money on?: Rather than buying that Photek CD, I would've bought Aphex Twin's I Care Because You Do. I think they had it that day.
>name an album you secretly love that would ruin your reputation as cool if people knew about it:
>what album do you listen to most often?:
>how many concerts have you been to (not-festivals)?: shit. I don't know. below, I list thirty-two, but I think I forgot a few.
>name them: here goes: (no way could I put these in order) Cannibal Corpse. Napalm Death with System of a Down. Oppressor with, I think, Malevolent Creation. Coal Chamber with Sevendust. Morrissey four times (three, not counting festivals). A Perfect Circle four times (three, not counting festivals). Radiohead four times. Sigur Ros. Incubus. Gene. Sunny Day Real Estate twice. Hed (pe) with Spineshank. The Cure. Spinal Tap. Built to Spill. Beck. Candiria with Cryptopsy (who we didn't stay for). Jay Buchanan. Travis with Remy Zero. Travis with Dido. Bush. Nine Inch Nails. The Flaming Lips. The Legendary Pink Dots.
I think there's more, but I can't remember any.
and festivals (neener): Ozzfest 97. Coachella 99 and 01. a couple Cajun/Zydeco/Blues festivals.
>which of the above, if any, was your favorite?: Coachella 99. but since festivals are supposed to be DQed, I'll say the first SDRE, the first APC, the first Moz, or the third or fourth Radiohead.
>name a fantastic album someone else introduced you to: Travis's The Man Who. Courtesy of Lauren.
>name the last album someone else bought for you: I don't remember. the last CD someone BURNED for me, I think, was Spiritualized's Let It Come Down, but Scotty owes me a RH bootleg of the show Richie and I attended.
>name the last album you purchased for someone as a gift: I think it was Palo Alto's self-titled, for Kris.
>name a fantastic album you discovered entirely by accident, on your own: Keep It LIke a Secret, by Built To Spill.
>name an album that brings back painful memories of adolescence: none really do that. painful memories of any type might be Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentlemen... although I'm over that one and it was only the first track anyhow. Certain Travis songs bring back longing.
>name an album that was playing when you underwent a major rite of passage: a B. B. King album had just finished.
