Suicide
Suicide ·2017
"Safe to say that we're all fans here of their work and this record, which is just so wildly ahead of its time and cutting edge in what they were doing with electronics and soundscapes and mood and creating darkness within this minimal crunchy noise art sound."

Vincebus Eruptum
Blue Cheer ·1968
"Anyone who wants to know how psychedelia got to metal, Blue Cheer was kind of the linking band, I think. Before Sabbath there was Blue Cheer. So these guys, while everyone was kind of coming down from their Summer of Love, were playing really heavy and really, really loud."

First and Last and Always
The Sisters of Mercy ·1985
"The Sisters of Mercy, I feel, are so horribly, egregiously underrated and uncredited. On these early 7 inches, you will hear similarities to what was going on on Factory Records, and with the Joy Division-esque post-punk and, y'know, they were peers."

Live in San Francisco
White Fence ·2013
"I actually haven't heard this record, it's really hard to keep on top of what he does because he makes 17 records a year, but I especially liked his brother, this photo of Sean Paul Presley, right there so that made me pick this one over..."

Atlantic Crossing
Rod Stewart ·1975
"I'll go out on a limb and say this is the best Rod Stewart album. It has a fast side and a slow side. And I prefer the slow side, but it has 'I Don't Wanna Talk About It,' which is a great ballad."
