What band would play at your ideal wedding?
Spank Rock. As long as Amanda Blank was there, too.
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
“Naive Melody (This Must Be the Place)” by Talking Heads. that’s sort of a “duh”. I mean, come on, what are you going to play, “My Hood” by Young Jeezy? That’s something I would do, but I’m too nostalgic to not play something by David Byrne.
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
I watch entirely too many Audrey Hepburn films (and drool over Don Draper), so yeah, we’re gonna say late fifties, early sixties.
What’s your favorite venue?
Oh lord. There are a few. I like Shea Stadium a lot, even though it’s practically in Antarctica. Glasslands is cute, and there’s this new place called Pyramids in South Williamsburg that’s super cute.
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
Well, besides being able to hold a conversation and cook a gourmet meal, I’m pretty adventurous. I’m really outgoing, I’m very social but I’m not a drunk. Or drug addict. I also live alone, therefore no dealing with nosy roommates. I would say my most important quality is that I possess a George Foreman grill and the entire Planet Earth series on DVD.
Wild Card: When it comes to a guy’s record collection, does size really matter?
Man, I don’t really care that much about records. I don’t. I guess it’s more about the variety and content of his collection. You know what I do care about? Brunch in bed. Ordered off the internet because we’re both that Asperger’s. Bacon-egg-cheese-on a bagel, along with big spoon-little spoon digestion time? Forget your Belle & Sebastian on vinyl, sandwiches & cuddling are what matters.
