What band would play at your ideal wedding?
Pshh please, Mildred Bailey and her orchestra. I would have Dinah Washington on standby in case Mildred’s no good ex husband (who also happens to play the xylophone in said orchestra) is late but would make sure she knew that she was to sing “When I fall in Love” and none of this nonsense about never being loved and being born to be blue.
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
You say first, I say three: “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Pennies in Heaven,” or “Amazing Grace” because of tradition I guess (these are the songs my Mom and Dad sang to me)
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
I am nostalgic for no decade. Why? Because I am located on the Starship Enterprise, whenever I sense this “nostalgia” you beings speak of I simply skip off to the simulation deck to participate in whatever decade I should please. But probably the 20′s, 60′s, or 70′s.
What’s your favorite venue?
I don’t ask much from my venues. I like most of them but especially Death by Audio or Woods. But you know what I don’t like? People stepping on my face. Stop it. Seriously, I get the music is awesome but I just want to dance and watch people smoke inside–I don’t need any more brawls in my life.
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
I will give you five good reasons:
1) It’s like jazz when I make vegan muffins!
2) High Waisted all the time
3) Looking for a little ukulele/banjo/guitar action? Look under my bed.
4) I almost always match plaid
5) I won’t tell anyone your glasses aren’t real
What do you look for in a potential hipster husband?
I want someone to fall asleep to “This American Life” with (or Radiolab–I am quite multi-cultured afterall), someone who can put up with a lot of schtick/vaudeville re-enactments, and cue the music if I ever need to tap dance out of a conversation. Also please don’t cut me with your beard–again…
What is the most embarrassing song you have stuck in your head right now?
All the food is poisoned! All the food is poisoned!*
*(Youtube it if you wanna get it stuck in your head too)
