Vampire Weekend - Chris Baio
b'
\\u201cI didn\\u2019t like curse words when I was real young, so my dad would read Spin and get black ink and blot out the curse words for me,\\u201d says Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio, explaining how his father helped shape his early interest in music. \\u201cHe would bring home records he was interested in and it always ran a wide gamut. His favorite musician is Jimi Hendrix and we would listen to so much Jimi Hendrix, but at the same time, I would have been ten years old when he bought his first Guided By Voices album and we would have had that on in the house. Always having music around in the house, reading the Saturday or Sunday paper, that\\u2019s how I grew up. There wasn\\u2019t one defined sensibility. My dad would buy A Tribe Called Quest, he\\u2019d buy Green Day, and so I\\u2019d listen to a fairly wide gamut. It\\u2019s definitely a huge reason why I\\u2019m a musician today.\\u201d Baio\\u2019s new solo album, Dead Hand Control, is out now.
