"White Noise, there's a funny story with this band. This is another very experimental sixties band... they're also really good songwriters and it took them five years to make so it's a lot of analog looping with scissors and you take five years of them literally cutting tiny little tape clips and looping them and making collages out of sound."Watch this moment
"Miles Davis was originally gonna name it Witch's Brew and his really amazing girlfriend at the time, Betty Davis, said nah man you gotta mean that Bitches Brew. This was historically the worst reviewed jazz record of all time and then the best selling when it came out."Watch this moment
