ANNE MARIE TO STEPHEN:

AM: What is your favorite song?

SB: Time Fly By from Elephant Motel. Chill, yet fire.

AM: Have you heard any of these tracks before?

SB: Can’t Hide My Love was the only one.

AM: Rumor has it… you’re writing your first [REDACTED]. What are you listening to when you write?

SB: Ohhhhhhhh snap! 1940s classics. I’ve said too much.

STEPHEN TO ANNE MARIE:

SB: What is your favorite song?

AM: I see what you did with Sūn Byrd’s Keepin’ Up and estraden’s Jeansjacka!! Sophie’s Choice over here! Keepin’ Up takes the cake this time, though.

Catch me at the roller rink with that one…

SB: Have you heard any of these tracks before?

AM: Nope.

SB: It’s been raining a lot here, which sometimes feels like it limits your music options. Do you embrace the dreariness or try to counteract it? What kinda vibe/mood do you go to during monsoon season? And if your answer is “It doesn’t rain here” then just imagine you were visiting Seattle.

AM: I mean, jazz! It’s always jazz!! It’s always Bossa Nova o’clock over here.

I dunno, I guess it really depends on my mood and what I’m doing as well? Frank Ocean is a good vibe for a rainy day, too. Young Gun Silver Fox. But if I’m writing, I’m probably listening to a story-specific playlist. If I’m working on like a home project like cleaning or renovations, it’s probably something to get me hype like Tory Lanez’ Alone at Prom.
