Favorite Instrument(s)?
Guitar, I've finally started to better learn how to play. I would love to get better and get a 12-string. I heard one played live over Christmas break and it sounded amazing.
What Song or Album are You Currently Listening To?
Dennis McCarthy's film score for Star Trek: Generations. I tend to prefer soundtracks for writing and the score for Generations is amazing.
Do You Listen to the Radio? If So, How Often?
Nope, occasionally I might create a station on Apple Music, but other than that, never.
How Often Do You Listen to Music?
On a daily basis. I often have headphones on while working. Sometimes it's podcasts, but it's often music too.
How Often Do You Discover Music? And How Do You Discover Music?
Periodically. If I do, it's often through Apple Music when I'm seeing what new albums are recommended to me.
What's a Song or Album that You Enjoy that You Wish Had More Recognition?
Elsie by The Horrible Crowes. Brian Fallon and Ian Perkins did a single album as a little side project from The Gaslight Anthem and every song on the album is amazing.
What's Your Favorite Song of All Time?
Ugh, it's really hard to choose. If I really had to choose, it'd be I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral by The Wonder Years. It's also an amazing song to end the album Greatest Generation. Seriously if you decide to listen to it, listen to it in order.
Has Your Taste in Music Evolved Over the Years?
Absolutely, I was much more interested in nu-metal and pop punk in high school and college. As I got older, I got much more interested in other genres and more mellow songs. My taste is still eclectic.
