interview: SMOKING SECTION x “WHAT’S ON YOUR IPOD” x VA$HTIE

when JOHN GOTTY at the SMOKING SECTION asked little ol’ me to compile a list of favorite tracks that i have on my ipod, i didn’t hesitate. little did i know i would spend the next couple days stressed over how to narrow my favorites down to 10…so i went with 15 (even that was difficult!). i mean – how does a parent choose their favorite child (if none of their names are VASHTIE)…it’s impossible!

special thanks to these folks for allowing me to bore you with my ever eclectic musical loves.

FULL INTERVIEW WITH EACH SONG AVAILABLE TO LISTEN TO — HERE!
