One man, a word-processor, and too much free time.

Stolen from JP, who stole it from someone else, who stole it from Steve Allen, with the artist selection entirely randomised using the scientific method (a box and some scraps of paper).

1. John Cage
2. Felix da Housecat
3. Air
4. Mazzy Starr

5. The Grates
6. Nick Cave (and the Bad Seeds)
7. Francoiz Breut
8. The Arcade Fire
9. Ladytron
10. Sarah Blasko

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
”Where the Wild Roses Grow”, it being his only #1 and all. Still, a damned fine song even if it does have Kylie Minogue.

What is your favourite album of 8?
They only have Funeral (actually they also have an ST, but I don't think it was released here). But it is a very nice album.

What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
Use your bed like a trampoline
I said –
Higher! Higher!

Just for love if you know what I mean
I said –
Higher! Higher!

They are all about the class.

How many times have you seen 4 live?
Never at all. I’m not even sure if they’ve toured here.

What's your favourite song of 7?
”Si Tu Disais”. Especially the stripped-back, unplugged acoustic version.

What is a good memory you have concerning the music of 10?
Seeing her opening the Queenscliff music festival and dancing through “Always Worth It”, only to have the equipment malfunction live on national radio, with her standing there attempting to engage in awkward conversation with the few teenage girls who had been standing and dancing.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
”All I need”, perhaps. Also “The Word Hurricane”, but you didn’t say ‘Are there songs”.

What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?

I’m uncertain, but quite possibly the quatrain from Silver Screen Shower Scene:

“Sweet seduction in a magazine,

endless pleasure in a limousine,

in the back shakes a tambourine,

Nicotine from a silver screen ”

It is arguably the coolest quatrain ever written. I mostly chose it to avoid having to type-out the lyrics to the entirety of “Short Skirts” or “Hunting Season”, though.

What is your favourite song by 9?
”Abercrombie”. It is the sound of an international airport turned to wonderful.

How did you get into 3?
I first startd getting into decent music and listening to decent radio stations the year that Talkie Walkie dropped. I had never heard anything like it before, and was absolutely entranced. The Virgin Suicides, a beautiful film, cemented my love.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
”Song for Marcel Duchamp”.

What's your favourite song by 4?
’Into Dust.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
Never ever at all.

What is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Walking through a city full of foreigners, drunks and sports-fans with “What She Wants” on full bawl at eleven at night. The neon made it good.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
”Une Annee sans Lumiere” is very bittersweet, but basically all of Funeral is tear-jerk material if you are in the right (wrong?) mood.

What is your favourite song of 1?
A Flower.
