The musician's Candid Music Selection: Unpacking His Favorite Tunes

The first song I fell in love with
During a fall day, I felt unwell and stayed in as a six-year-old. My mom asked, "You've never heard the Beatles before? She started Help! the motion picture, and then I listened to it on loop on her iPod all day long.

The song I do at karaoke
Anything David Bowie are enjoyable, such as Fame or Queen Bitch. No one sounds like Bowie, though I enjoy the atmosphere. Recently I performed Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which didn't engage the crowd, but I had fun.

The debut physical music I owned
Kids my age liked Paradise from Coldplay, so I acquired Mylo Xyloto from Barnes & Noble. This happened on my initial Los Angeles trip. I thought to purchase records. I purchased both Coldplay and Thriller on the same day.

The track whose lyrics I memorized
My brother possessed Incredibad by the humorous ensemble in physical format. He played it constantly while traveling. Experiencing something material considered off-limits proved thrilling.

The best song to play at a party
This classic from The Emotions since it feels joyful. It has a perfect beat. It's pleasant to hear, cool and challenging, therefore fitting for various tastes.

The track I avoid now
During my rock introduction, I adored Guns N' Roses. The first time I heard that famous track, I got hooked, but now I can't hear it.

The perfect number to reinterpret
Right now, my band and I are covering the Only Ones classic. I adore that track.

The life-altering track
I'm featured in the visual for that punk track. I portrayed the younger self of the frontman. It was my first music video. It awakened me to louder music, driving me toward alternative culture.

The tear-jerking melody
Belinda Says by Alvvays.

The memorial service music
There's a running gag about this topic. I'm uncertain about choosing it, though that Grizzly Bear song.
