What's the first album you bought? Thriller, duh.

What's the first concert you saw? Sha Na Na. It was right after Grease came out, so I knew all the words.

What's the last song played on your music player? Jane's Addiction, "Ocean Size."

Who is your favorite singer or band? Jane's Addiction (this is getting obvious.)

Does your computer track how many times you've played something -- if so, what's at the top of the list? Not sure if iTunes does that, but I play "Get Low" a lot. Skeet, skeet, skeet!

What was your favorite new or new-to-you album from the past year? I re-found PJ Harvey's Rid of Me under the seat when I traded in my car in January. One of the best albums of all time.
