Chris, 26
What are you listening to?
“Shark in the Water” by VV Brown.
Listen: “Shark in the Water,” VV Brown
Is that a favorite?
Yeah, I would say it’s a favorite.
What’s your taste in music like?
I’m all over the place. If this was on shuffle there would be Lady Gaga, Regina Spektor, Cobra Starship... I just hear things and say, “I like that. What is that?”
Do you have a guilty-pleasure song?
Yes! This is so embarrassing. Why am I saying this? There’s a song called “Call My Name” by Charlotte Church. I turn that on when I’m in a bad mood and dance around my room to that. Awful!
Listen: "Call My Name”, Charlotte Church
Have you ever had a song ruined by an ex?
Yes, I have. It was “Fix You” by Coldplay
Listen: “Fix You,” Coldplay
You needed an ex to hate that song?
Yeah, I used to like it, and then my ex loved it and when the relationship ended, I realized I hated the song.
Is there any song someone has to hear if they’re going to date you?
Yes, “Postcards From Far Away” by Coldplay. It’s not long at all, but I just love it. I don’t know why.
Listen: “Postcards From Far Away,” Coldplay
If you had to pick one artist to be a groupie for, who would it be?
I would have to say Sam Sparro.
Listen: “Black and Gold,” Sam Sparro

This should become a regular segment!
I would love to see this be a regular thing - and then see a woman say she's listening to Rush.
We'll do our best. But, you know: http://blog.sfgate.com/parenting/2011/06/27/the-womens-bathroom-at-last-...
Matt...is adorable. That is all.
It IS a regular thing! http://www.nerve.com/music/what-are-you-listening-to
Enjoy! :)
Nice people, godawful music. That's always the case at the office or on blind dates.
It's a problem that Taya was not asked to name the Russian band(s) she does like (because, clearly, it would be lost on everybody, I guess the thinking went...they could not possibly have an international audience, and Nerve cannot have a Russian audience, right?) -- and that's a major, major oversight on the part of the interviewer and editors. What's also sad is that all of one artist mentioned is un-mainstream enough to be unfamiliar to most people. I wish more of my fellow New Yorkers were cooler.
I hate it when people say "it's a folk artist".
An entire page of a guy saying he likes jay z, kanye, and biggie? Let me guess, he enjoys nas and tupac too? I suppose it could be worse ("yeah, i just like creed, nickelback, staind, puddle of mudd, and linkin park mostly. Oh, have you heard of daughtry?"), but it still sucks. I love this site and read all the content here I can, but please interview more interesting people!
Boring-looking white dude listens to Jay-Z and John Mayer, and actually utters the word "cray" = AUTOMATIC FAIL.
Christ on a bike. How old am I that Biggie is "old school"? They played that at house parties when I was a teenager. I thought Grandmaster Flash and Run DMC were old school.
On the other hand, as abledma actors has rightly pointed out that guy likes John Mayer and used the word "cray", so maybe I'm right and he should have his genitals confiscated.
Choosing the proper running shoes ensures that jordans retro people are rewarded with all the benefits of running without the risk of injury to their Air Jordan 1 bodies. As there is no single, best running shoe, it is important for runners, and especially the beginner runner, to Air Jordan 10 determine what kind of feet they have so that they can make educated decisions about what shoes will fit their individual running needs. 211
