Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
"Nate said he would pass it on. I think that Jenny deserves it. I love everything Keith Jarrett did in the 70s. Well not everything, but most of it."Watch this moment
"They're one of the best bands. They write such great pop songs. So go get their record."Watch this moment
"I picked up the Brad Mehldau Trio, 'Ode.' He's a jazz pianist from Seattle."Watch this moment
"It's called 'Wrecked Again' and it's a reissue from the fine folks at Light in the Attic, of which I'm a fan. It's the type of label you can just look up their website and then come to Amoeba and purchase the entire catalog because it's always interesting music."Watch this moment
"I got a nice, cheap used copy of the Best of the Bothy Band because I've always wanted to like... I love the Pogues and other Irish things and this is sort of one of those records that I should know."Watch this moment
