"Not even sure how you pronounce that word but I know this is a really cool record. Ridiculously talented musician. She's playing a variety of crazy instruments with kind of psychedelic orchestral arrangements behind it."Watch this moment
"I went for 'The Idiot' because it's an obvious choice. Everybody should have it and I don't have it."Watch this moment
"Ok so I have this one, Ramesh, and she's from Iran, but that's about all I know about this."Watch this moment
"Ruban made the cover, which I think is awesome, which I think is really cool. They're our friends and we kind of helped them make this record."Watch this moment
"I picked up an Isley Brothers album. I've been, for some strange reason, really into this lately. They're one of those bands that was kind of heavily sampled by the early days of hip-hop and it's kind of fun to go back to the original recordings and check out what they had going on."Watch this moment
