Name: Jesse Stensby

Place of birth: Fort Sill, Lawton, Oklahoma

What was your first concert? TProbably, like most, something involving the State Fair. If it's something I remember, it's probably this gospel group called the Fox Brothers. Coincidentally, that's the same year I disappeared from my family's side and was found by some old ladies. Coincidence? Probably not. My first rock show was Smashing Pumpkins and Fountains of Wayne on the Mellon Collie Tour--the Post OD-version with Matt Walker on drums.

What band/artist would provide the soundtrack for the movie of your life? We Became Actors. Yeah, I'm like that. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

What is your drink of choice to close the night? At a place I used to frequent, they'd know to close my tab when I switched from whatever was on special to a Red Stripe. If I had enough forsight, it'd be water. I'm more of a live-in-the-moment kind of guy.

What do you like to do before you go to bed? I had to read this question twice.

Who would you most want to fight (living/dead/historical/fictional)? I'm a lover, not a fighter. That being said, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

If you played a sport, what position and for what team would you play? If we're living in a fantasy world, I'd play fullback for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. But that's where the fantasy ends. I'd never play NFL.

If you could prevent the existence of one band/artist, who would it be and why? The existence of Shakira boggles my mind. But I don't hold it against her.

What album do you most regret purchasing? See, I'm not the kind that belives in guilty pleasures or music regrets. But Lauryn Hill's unplugged album was particularly painful. 8-plus minute songs about God. Like Kanye said, "Lauryn Hill say her heart is in Zion. I wish her heart still was in rhymin'." Bring back the Fugees.

What would be your weapon of choice if forced to compete in a real-life Street Fighteresque underground fighting ring? A drunk monkey holding a machete, laser gun and live grenade. Prehensile tail and all...

What is your favorite flavor of Snapple? Fruit punch, although it's among the more bland varieties of fruit punch. I'm something of a connesiuer.

If you were going to die in a week, how would you like to go? If I were guaranteed the exact second, I'd probably jump out of a plane without a parachute timing my death five seconds before I hit.

What multi-hyphenated genre of music should exist that doesn't (yet)? Tambourine-noise-pop, which is coincidentally the genre of my side-project band Winter Wolf, which only exists to frustrate people with our name.

What office supply can you not live without? I don't know that my very survival would or should depend on something like a paper clip or glue stick. I certainly hope not. I sure do find my computer handy. Does that count?

What are you better at than most anybody else? Making fun of Alyssa.

What do you do when you're angry? I had to read this question twice.

What is the most enjoyable day you've ever had? The thing that stands out most recently is Finnegan's Summerfest 2007. Ridiculous.

What is the greatest benefit of knowing Jesse Stensby? Can one really know Jesse Stensby might be the better question.
