Before Review Fix posts the full interview with Grammy Nominee Tracy Bonham over the next week or so, we figured we’d give you guys a sneak peak into what to expect. Extremely laid back and fun, Bonham was easily one of the funnest interviews we’ve had a chance to do on the site thus far.
Review Fix: Favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
Tracy Bonham: Are there any? This is going to be bad because I’m going to be promoting a big large chain, but I really like Starbucks’ chai latte. But with no water. You have to order it with no water because they always dilute it.
RF: Spider-Man or Superman?
Bonham: Spider-Man. No idea why though. I guess I kind of like his costume.
RF: Led Zeppelin or the Beatles?
Bonham: The Beatles. Before I was 25, I always thought of Zeppelin as cock rock. I did get into them later though.
RF: Favorite Beatle?
Bonham: Such a tough question. Why don’t I just say Ringo? Yes, I’m going to say Ringo. He’s just the unsung hero.
RF: Favorite thing to do when it’s raining that has nothing to do with music.
Bonham: Lighting a candle and taking a bath.
RF: Favorite TV show?
Bonham: Madmen. It’s really good.
RF: Favorite movie that you’re ashamed to tell people that you love?
Bonham: Pineapple Express. I’m not that ashamed though.
RF: How has your husband [Rolling Stone executive editor Jason Fine] affected your career?
Bonham: He’s very critical. He’s hard to crack. I can’t tell what he’s thinking sometimes. He’s very supportive, but not easily impressed. He’s seen a lot. He’s honest and brutal at the same time.
RF: Favorite breed of dog?
Bonham: Labrador retriever.
RF: What are some songs that get you pumped before you get on stage?
Bonham: Anything by LCD Soundsystem. They’re really great.
Wow! An obscure Alanis clone from 1996! Next!
