question 1: where do you go to find your music?

Answer: i find my music through people , band pages, friends , relatives , people i meet. i get CDs from people or jump through videos on youtube.

question 2: do you find yourself supporting more 'underground' acts rather than the so-called 'mainstream' artists?

Answer:definitely a very close friend of mine.


question 3: who are 5 of the most influential artists, to you?

Answer: frank sinatra, john lennon, jimi hendrix, bradley nowell, Beatles. :]


question 4: if you could ask any musician (alive or dead) a question, who would it be & what would you ask?

Answer: i would ask bradley nowell what was so horrible that he had to go and overdose on heroin. he was doing great and he made music that everyone could have enjoyed. he could have had a great life... :/

question 5: does music ever have an influence on the men/women you're interested in?

Answer: yes , very much so. i mean people can have their own interests and all but i am more drawn to someone with an open mind about music or enjoys at least some of the same musicians as me and doesnt put me down about my tastes.

question 6: do you prefer shopping for your music at chains (ie, Virgin Megastore, F.Y.E, etc.) or 'mom & pop' record stores?

Answer: neither , i dont do much shopping at stores when i go looking for music. but i dont steal either.

question 7: would you say you go to shows with 'underground' artists that are usually at small venues or large concerts with the 'flavor of the week'?

Answer: well i dont go out to shows much , but when i do its usually very rare and its small shows in peoples back yards , i find that experience much more personal and its more fun for all involved , not to mention the music is more likely to sound more original , also im not into huge names so big concerts like that arent a big deal.

question 8: how does it make you feel when you hear that one of your favorite artists have 'sold out'?

Answer: really sad, and i know that maybe their music isnt going to sound the same and all these people will claim to like them but not even know their stuff they made when they started out , they werent there to support them. but if it makes them happy , it IS their music ...so...its their choice.

question 9: how do you support your local music scene?

Answer: well i have a few friends in bands , so i make sure to tell all my other friends about them and that they should listen to their stuff. :]

question 10: if there is one song you would say describes your life at the moment, which song would it be?

Answer: maybe...is this love? by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.


Wendy chose Frank Sinatra to be her artist.

from Blog Critics

'Covering his brilliant Capitol years only, Sinatra at the Movies includes the title themes to The Tender Trap, From Here to Eternity, Young at Heart, Three Coins in the Fountain, and Not as a Stranger. Also from Young at Heart is the classic “Just One of Those Things,” which is done with its more familiar up-tempo arrangement (In later years, Sinatra sometimes performed the song as a ballad, or "saloon song" as he called them).

Four other movies are represented by two songs each, with “I Love Paris” and “C’est Magnifique” from Can Can, “How Deep is the Ocean” and “All of Me” from Meet Danny Wilson, “I Could Write a Book” and “The Lady is a Tramp” from Pal Joey, and “All the Way” and “Chicago” from The Joker is Wild.

It should be noted that while all of these songs are from Sinatra movies, they are not the versions recorded for the movies. Rather, they are the versions from his Capitol albums (“Chicago” is the version from Come Fly With Me for instance). To get the tracks from the movies, one may consider the Sinatra in Hollywood box set.

Sinatra at the Movies is part of a larger media blitz that includes a U.S. postage stamp (entering circulation in May) and television programming spotlighting Sinatra’s movies and television specials. While many of the tracks on Sinatra at the Movies are timeless standards, the CD barely scratches the surface of Sinatra’s recorded legacy, making it a bad starting point for new fans and a must-own for completists only.'

enjoy!
