Lucy: Reward - Cate Le Bon on vinyl. ‘tis beautiful 

 

Your favourite place to listen to music

Alice: On public transport, walking somewhere or while I’m cleaning/organising something. I am really easily distracted and I usually find it easier to focus on something when I’m doing something else.

Lucy: I've recently taken up jogging and music is the perfect distraction to the torture 

​

A song which reminds you of your childhood

Bridie: Sweet Thing - Chaka Khan

Alice: Living for The City - Stevie Wonder. This song was in some animated children's film about dogs I had on video as a child and I do not know the name of the film and I have since tried to find it but I can’t. But I heard that song and really loved it.

​

Your go-to karaoke song

Alice: 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton or Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush

A song you'd rather never hear again

Zhane: Old Town Road -  Lil Nas X. I do not wish to hear this song ever again.

​

A song which reminds you of someone you don’t see anymore

Zhane: I Don’t Fuck With You - Big Sean. I mean…. Do I have to explain?

​

A song which tells a story

Zhane: I went to the store one day - Father John Misty. I will dance to this song at my wedding.

​

A song which makes you feel empowered

Alice: Adventures in Success - Will Powers. This song is a cross between a self help book and an all round 80s banger and I LOVE IT !

 

An artist you regret never having seen live

Alice: Prince. I love Prince so much and I really regret not seeing him before he died.

Zhane: Childish Gambino. He is not only a musician but a PERFORMER, let me tell you that!

Bridie: Moses Sumney

Lucy: Courtney Barnett 2k14 Manchester Gorilla

Alice: Vulf Peck in 2016. I had such a good time that I fell over and ripped both knees of my jeans. Weyes Blood last year at Brixton Electric was also amazing. I nearly sold my ticket because I was so broke and really needed the money, but I am so glad I didn’t because it was one of the best gigs I have been to and I screamed the words of every song.

​

An album you know by heart

Lucy: Montreal - Kaki King

​

A song which gets stuck in your head

Alice: Boney Was A Warrior - Paul Clayton. I did a research project in my third year of uni that started off being about sea shanties (the topic changed many times) and I listened to a lot of sea shanties. This shantie and particular version by Paul Clayton  got stuck in my head so much my housemates tried to ban me from singing it and I still get it in my head all the time now a year and a half on.

Lucy: I've had Uptown Girl stuck in my head since I was 15

Zhane: Since 2010, I have been singing “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?” and I cannot stop. If you do not know the song, we can never be friends.

Alice: I can confirm Zhane ends every sentence anyone says that starts ‘Do you ever feel’ with ‘like a plastic bag’ and then the rest of the song follows.

​

A recent musical discovery

Alice: Yamamoto Kakapoto - Yamasuki Singers, and Mid-Air Thief - These Chains

Zhane: So I Don’t Feel Useless - Dianna Lopez, and All We Do For Love - Benny Sings
