Quick Questions for the humans behind Record Store Day, co-founders and organizers Michael Bunnell, Carrie Colliton, Eric Levin and Michael Kurtz
First Record You Fell In Love With?
MB: The first 13th Floor Elevators album
MK: The Beatles’ seven-inch of “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Penny Lane” in the fourth grade on my parents’ console.
CC: Every single thing in my babysitters’ collection, but that Elton John And Kiki Dee single stands out.
EL: The Story Of Star Wars
Last Record You Listened To From Beginning To End. On Purpose.
EL: I want to say it was D’Angelo’s Black Messiah, but it was Charli XCX’s Sucker.
MB: Bad Bad Not Good III
MK: St. Vincent St. Vincent
CC: Courtney Barnett Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit
Favorite Band Sirt
EL: I had on old over-sized white New Order shirt from their Brotherhood tour; it looked good on every girl who wore it. Currently, my wife’s got a Waylon Jennings shirt that I’m partial to.
MK: George Harrison Dark Horse shirt
CC: The oldest one in my drawer, TAD, and the newest one, a shirt that doesn’t even say the name of the band but came out of the Sun Kil Moon/Hopscotch Music Festival brouhaha last year. Good story, great shirt.
Late-Night Listening Session. Pizza Or Tacos?
MK: Tacos, but only if it’s corn.
EL: Is it a trick question? This is the most personal thing I’ve ever had to answer. It’s so existential. Where am I? What am I listening to? Is this very bad pizza versus really good tacos? The answer has to be pizza, right? Can I change my answer?
MB: Bourbon
