I say with the best of delight and fondest of reminiscences that for me it was Bizarre Al Yankovic after I was 10. I knew each lyric and worshipped him as a child – and I can undoubtedly nonetheless sing Amish Paradise phrase for phrase. Can’t look forward to the “biopic” with Daniel Radcliffe!

What was the primary report you ever purchased?

The primary CD I purchased for myself was NSYNC’s No Strings Connected. Bye Bye Bye and It’s Gonna Be Me are nonetheless licensed bangers to today, though I believe Area Cowboy was seven-year-old me’s favourite. The primary CD Phil’s mother let him select as a child was Beyoncé’s B’Day (we nonetheless bust out Ring The Alarm typically), and the primary album he bought along with his personal cash was Metallica’s black album, this being one of many information that impressed him to select up a guitar.

Favorite lyric of all time?

Ooh, this could be the toughest interview query we’ve ever been requested! Is it Alex’s “Dancing in my underpants, I’m gonna run for presidency…” on One Level Perspective?

When you may solely hear to at least one music for the remainder of your life, what would it not be?

Phil’s decide is Summer season On the West Hill. Cue waterworks every time the aforementioned line hits. I’d have additionally picked a KOC music, The Buildup, if solely to listen to Feist’s chorus till time itself stops, however alternately I might decide Jeff Buckley’s Lover, You Ought to’ve Come Over. Few songs are a splendorous and emotionally rewarding, and the lyrics are timelessly stunning.
