"I got Chastity Belt, partially because of their name, which I think is a great name. But mostly, I have to be honest, the main thing that's sold this record to me was the fact that they have a song called 'Why Try?' I think that's a real telling sign of self-awareness that I appreciate."Watch this moment

Every quote links to the moment in the episode."I listened to this album for the first time yesterday... this is definitely my new favorite Captain Beefheart album, so I got it."Watch this moment
"I got the Numero Group 'Eccentric Soul' comp because I love Numero Group and we usually get all the stuff that they put out. And I especially love their Boddie Recording Company comp, which was just sort of B-list soul singles."Watch this moment
"I really like this album a lot and I wanted to get it on vinyl. I love the first song 'Nervous Breakdown' but, I don't know, the whole record is pretty great."Watch this moment
"I got this Akron/Family record. I got it a long time... when it came out. My dad gave it to me and it's one of my favorite albums. I think that the song 'I'll Be on the Water' is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. The lyrics and the instrumentation and the arrangement and everything about it. And I've loved it consistently since I first heard it, which I think is pretty special because a lot of times, when you have those songs that you listen to a million times on repeat you sort of grow out of them. But I haven't grown out of that one, so I like this record."Watch this moment
