'What's your jam, lately?' Alex asked, 'I've really liked Falling In Love Again by Joyce Manor, so indie it hurts bands are never really my thing, but I do like that song' Rian laughed, 'so indie it hurts, anyone else like that?' 'Mainly british' laughing, 'like?' 'hmm, stuff like Peace and that kind of vibe' Alex nodded, 'do you listen to everything?' 'there's stuff I didn't think I'd like and I've been jamming forever' 'like?' 'Reincarnate by Motionless In White is made brilliantly, I think Contemptress is my favourite song' 'what's your least favourite song?' 'Sell Out by Reel Big Fish, I just find it ironic, telling people not to sell out to the catchiest tune and a hell of a hook, I also think so far in my work here in the industry bands who've been around and paid their dues turn into snobs when they've almost become vanilla' Alex grinned, 'but that's just me' 'who like?'

'You don't think I'm vanilla do you?' 'Alex, god no, why would you think that?'

'I do' 'you should watch Annie Hall, you'd get my point' 'surprised you do onsidering what he did' 'we have a lot of these problems, Liberation Transmission is an amazing record, shame the singer is now in prison for child abuse' Alex nodded, 'and Woodie Allen should be in prison, but he has Oscars, Ian Watkins owns Kerrang!
