Favourite instrument(s)?
I can’t play anything on any instrument. If I had to make a choice from what I’ve seen played, then the guitar or bass. Both are cool looking and usually have a great sound associated with them.
What song or album are you currently listening to?
Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl by Broken Social Scene
Do you listen to the radio? If so, how often?
I do, occasionally, though I dislike most of it. I tend to listen to ‘Easy listening’ or similar because most of the newer stuff is all foreign to me.
How often do you listen to music?
I try to listen everyday, but honestly probably a couple of times a week. I’ve had long stints where I didn’t listen to anything. I’m trying to change that, because music can make time go faster, and change moods.
How often do you discover music? And how do you discover music?
Not often. I usually play the Apple Music radio station “For you” and if something there comes up that I like, I favorite it. I also occasionally browse Bandcamp to see if there is anything I like. I’ve found that as I get older, the less I seek out new music.
What’s a song or album that you enjoy that you wish had more recognition?
Pretty much anything by Rustic Overtones. They’re a band from Maine with an amazing sound that I wish got more coverage. I don’t think they’re together anymore. It’s hard to keep up.
What’s your favourite song of all time?
Probably Long Divison by Rustic Overtones on their titular album. Good stuff.
Has your taste in music evolved over the years?
Yes. I used to dislike R&B and Rap, but I realized that I like it more than I gave it credit for. Though, I still dislike country. I’ve picked up more classical and other different genres as I’ve gotten older.
