Three least favorites musicians: I try not to listen to bad music, I just ignore it. But it does bug the sh#t out of me when my friends listen to it. Like, Beyoncé; does nobody else in the world understand that it’s not good music? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! Ty Dolla $ign, Kenny Chesney… F those guys.

Best concert you’ve ever been to: Two winters ago, I was on a ski trip and we showed up to this small town in Iceland just in time for the Easter Festival. People from all around Iceland come for a two-day, non-stop music festival. The music was great, but just the total randomness and location of the concert stages and event in general made it really special. We snuck into a rave, crowed-surfed to some John Denver in a restaurant, saw a rock show in a church and got introduced to my favorite Icelandic band, Rythmatik. Isafjordur Easter Festival is a must-go.

Worst concert you’ve ever been to: Probably Bon Iver. He was playing a free show at the Galvin Center in downtown Salt Lake City years ago. He sucks and we left early.
