"Sun Ra, Interstellar Low Ways. Um, he put out like I don't know how many million records and you know I only have a couple and everyone's like you know Sun Ra is like the cool guy to listen to but actually I really like one song in here called uh interplanetary music. It's got like kind of a big band feel but it's really zonked out and the singing is really good."Watch this moment
"I've been a fan for a minute. I heard this in the small town Spokane, Washington, playing at a record store. Not this particular record, but his earlier stuff. And I just fell in love with his music."Watch this moment
"We have the Blade Runner soundtrack, but not the real soundtrack, the orchestral soundtrack. It's actually pretty good. I'm a huge fan of the real soundtrack and it'll be a nice addition to have the more classical-minded version."Watch this moment
