What is your favorite album of 2 (Sufjan Stevens)?
Illinois! I love it.
Also, The Avalanche.

What is your favorite lyric that 5 (Ben Folds) has sung?
In There's Always Someone Cooler Than You-

Is there a song of 8 (The Shins) that makes you sad?
Pink Bullets, if I'm already in a sad mood.

What is your favorite album of 5 (Ben Folds)?
Rockin' the Suburbs. But I do like the Sunny EP also.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 (The Matches) has sung?
The Matches have so many good song lyrics.
"This is the soundtrack playing in back
Of our restless lives
And though they make no sense
These are the moments
We'll remember for the rest of our restless lives" (The Restless)

"Her heart is a machine
Art is meant to be seen
Not felt, not heard
It's just paint, they're just words
Fingers are for feeling, fists are for beating
Scabs are for healing, and blood is for bleeding
That's just how I used to be
but I'm not even good at being me anymore." (Scratched Out)

"Cold colas to coexist
Hold sodas in both her fists
I'd hoped for a different you.
There's comfort in the clamor of cafés
Solace from the abyss of days
I'd hoped for a different you," (The Barber's Unhappiness)
