I'm not usually a fan of these survey things, but everyone likes music:

1) What was the first record/CD/cassette you owned?

An album called 100% Kids full of cartoon theme songs. I got it as a present when I was 5 or 6. It's not cool, but it's true (and I still have it).

2) What was the first song you fell in love with?

Lazarus - Porcupine Tree

3) What is your current favorite song?

Atlantis to Interzone (Hadouken! Remix) - Klaxons

It might change by this afternoon though :p

4) Have you ever downloaded music illegally, and do you feel guilty about it?

Yes. No; I'm sure the music industry won't miss those few pennies.

5) What was the first song to make you cry?

Erm, the Schindler's List music at the end... but I don't think it was just the music that caused that (and I watched the film just after coming back from a funeral, so I couldn't say how much was the film).

6) What was the last record you bought? How is it?

About What You Know - Little Man Tate. Not listened to it all yet, but so far so good.

7) How many songs do you have in your music libary?

13,655. I Need a bigger iPod.

8) What was the last concert you went to?

Primal Scream, with The View supporting (who where awful!).

9) What was the best concert you went to?

Either James Blunt before he got all big and sickly, or Embrace (with Morning Runner supporting).

10) Who is you favorite artist/band?

Oasis

12) What was the last song you listened to?

Atlantis to Interzone (Hadouken! Remix) - Klaxons (coincidence, it's not on repeat).
