The musician's Revealing Playlist: Unpacking His Favorite Tunes

The track that captured my heart
One autumn afternoon, I was home sick at age six. My mother wondered, "Is it true you don't know the Beatles?" She played Help! the movie, following that I kept replaying it through her music player throughout the day.

The song I do at karaoke
Any Bowie number are enjoyable, such as Fame or Queen Bitch. No one sounds like Bowie, though I enjoy the atmosphere. I recently tried Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which bored everyone, but I had fun.

The debut physical music I owned
Peers enjoyed Paradise from Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto at the bookstore. This happened on my initial Los Angeles trip. I decided to buy albums. I acquired those two albums simultaneously.

The music with all words in my head
My older brother owned Incredibad by Lonely Island in physical format. He played it constantly while traveling. As a youth listening to material considered off-limits felt exciting.

The perfect gathering tune
The Emotions' Best of My Love because it sounds happy. It has a perfect beat. It's pleasant to hear, cool and challenging, therefore fitting for various tastes.

The track I avoid now
When I discovered rock'n'roll, I loved Guns N' Roses. When I first listened to Sweet Child O' Mine, I became obsessed, though presently I skip it.

The ideal track to perform
Right now, our group perform the Only Ones classic. I adore that track.

The song that changed my life
I participated in the clip for the Pup song. I portrayed the younger self of the frontman. This marked my video debut. It introduced intense audio, pushing me into the alt scene.

The tear-jerking melody
Belinda Says by Alvvays.

The song I'd like played at my funeral
We share a private humor about this topic. I'm uncertain about choosing it, yet Grizzly Bear's Half Gate.
