The musician's Honest Song Choices: Unpacking His Favorite Tunes

My initial musical crush
One autumn afternoon, I felt unwell and stayed in as a six-year-old. My mother wondered, "You've never heard the Beatles before? She played Help! the film, and then I kept replaying it through her music player all day long.

The song I do at karaoke
Anything David Bowie provide great entertainment, like Fame or Queen Bitch. No one sounds like Bowie, but I love the energy. I recently tried Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which bored everyone, though I loved it.

The first CD I bought
Friends were into Paradise by the band Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto from the retail chain. It was during my first LA visit. I decided to buy albums. I bought Coldplay and Thriller on the same day.

The song I inexplicably know every lyric to
My older brother owned Incredibad from the comedy group in physical format. He played it constantly while traveling. As a youth listening to material considered off-limits proved thrilling.

The best song to play at a party
This classic from The Emotions as it appears cheerful. It has a perfect beat. It's accessible music, cool and challenging, thus appealing to all.

The track I avoid now
When I discovered rock'n'roll, I was into Guns N' Roses. The first time I heard that famous track, I got hooked, but now I can't hear it.

The ideal track to perform
Right now, we musicians perform Another Girl, Another Planet. I adore that track.

The song that changed my life
I participated in the clip for Guilt Trip by Pup. I played the younger version of the singer. It was my first music video. It awakened me to louder music, guiding me to indie realms.

The song that makes me cry
Alvvays' Belinda Says.

The memorial service music
My dad and I have an inside joke regarding this matter. I'm not sure if I want it, but Half Gate by Grizzly Bear.
