The only thing I asked of them: Say something spontaneous about music…

When you sing any conversation, it makes it better.

Why doesn't music play when you open the refrigerator?

Sometimes when I'm watching a scary movie I put headphones on and then I'm not scared anymore because I can't hear the movie's music.

When I was in the womb, I listened to Celtic music, Don McLean, and a woman's heart.

Sometimes I feel very judged by my music choices. Changing songs at parties can be stressful because first you put on a song and then you get judged for it, but it's still your responsibility to play another one. I hate music judgment. Sometimes I don't even know what to like anymore.

Guitarists are hot, but bassists are even hotter.

Dismissing an entire genre of music ("I listen to everything except rap and country") is just as ignorant as listening to nothing but the Top 40.

The most romantic thing that ever happened to me was at senior prom when the song "Wonderful Tonight" started playing and I told my date I loved this song. He then told me he wanted to take pictures, but when we walked across the dance floor, he grabbed my hand and we started dancing - even though it was the teacher-chaperone dance.

When I see lightning, I associate it with a song by AC/DC, but probably just because they have a lightening bolt in their band logo.

It should be tonal in my opinion.

Apple Martin, Jakob Dylan, Chastity Bono.

If you find a song that fits your mood perfectly, it reminds you that other people feel the same way.

Vampire Weekend was the first band to ever be on the cover of Spin before their album was released.

Last St. Patrick's Day I was really sick, not from drinking, but flu sick, so I made myself feel better by playing George Winston's December, and now I can't listen to it anymore because I feel like puking when I hear it, which really sucks because that was one of my favorite albums.

If you go to Boston College and you can't name seven or eight music venues in Boston off the top of your head, you're missing out big time.

It is the rhythm of the night? It moves the body and soul. It is poetry in sound?

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, Cole.

Sometimes I play nothing but an E chord on the guitar and just listen.
