"This is probably my favorite of theirs, but the first I got was 'Emperor Tomato Ketchup.' They're absolutely just a fantastic band. It's got a really French soundtrack-y sound to it, but it's really rhythmic as well."Watch this moment

"Eels Royal Albert Hall one because it's got near enough of everything on it. He's great live."Watch this moment
"I got the 'L.A. Woman' record because we were on the top of the Capitol Building... Jim was dating a girl there, he used to go and see them... and in that line... 'Hung out with the girls in a Hollywood bungalow,' or whatever he says."Watch this moment
"this one's got 'Caravan' on it... it's probably my favorite live performance of anything ever because of his voice, innit."Watch this moment
"I chose Les Baxter's 'African Jazz.' I heard a song called 'The Left Arm of Buddha' originally, and that song is unlike anything else of his that I've heard. Sort of got a really weird string loop and a drum groove drowned in tape echo and it sounded kind of quite ahead of its time."Watch this moment
"Look at that, who's that? That guy made it. Look at him. That's great."Watch this moment
"As soon as I heard it, I did not stop playing it from start to finish. I'm a genuine fanatic of the National. His lyrics are... again put him back in there with the other boys."Watch this moment
"Absolutely frantic psychedelia, but it's a brilliant record and I love that track 'Transparent Radiation,' it's just... balmy lyrics."Watch this moment
