Five Cent Sound Vol 2. Issue 1: November 2013

Maria Spiridigliozzi I listen to a lot of punk rock, pop rock, alt rock, and any kind of rock really. My style is influenced by the bands I listen to, a lot of dark colors, and bold patterns based on the theatricality of My Chemical Romance. Some basic tees and jeans combos with combat boots ala the Sex Pistols. My style reflects the message of the music because it represents me, and I don’t give a shit what anyone else thinks about how I dress. I just ooze punk rock.

nichol as de la canal I almost only listen to swing and vocal jazz from the 1940s and 50s. Favorite singers/bands are Frank Sinatra, Buddy Greco, Ella Fitzgerald, Kay Starr, Harry Connick Jr., Peggy Lee, Glenn Miller. I do NOT like Michael Buble. He’s too poppy. And he has that weird lisp. I love the swank of that time period. It was apparent in both the music and the style of dress. There’s just something about a vintage sweater or a swing drum solo by Gene Krupka that makes me feel very nostalgic for that time period. That’s probably an effect from watching too many classic movies when I was growing up. But I feel like just about everything from that era (social values excluded) are timeless. Newer, “computer-generated,” music doesn’t have nearly the same feel to me as real instruments do.
