Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
Teen Dream
Beach House ·2010
"I kind of slept on Beach House. I didn't pay enough attention until recently and I got into their 'Bloom' record and then it really captured me, so I'm like, I should get a hold of some more Beach House so I'm choosing 'Teen Dream' by Beach House to explore deeper because I fell in love with 'Bloom.' It's a good record."

Louder Than Bombs
The Smiths ·1987
"I love the Smiths and my sister turned me on to them. But I think I loved the amount of stuff on this record. It's like a double record. It seemed like a special, special thing."

Some Great Reward
Depeche Mode ·1984
"I feel like they really started coming into their own on this record, particularly there's a song called 'Lie to Me' and there's all these kind of intertwining hooks. They'll bring in one, take it away, they'll bring in a different one, take it away, and then bring them both together and then take them away, and then bring the third and then bring all 3 together."
