On the Corner
Miles Davis ·1972
"On the Corner, Miles Davis. I thought this would be such a great record to DJ because people love hearing crazy, freaked out Miles Davis jazz when they're drinking at bars. At least I do. If you don't have it, or if you heard it and you don't like it, then you are a jackass."

And Now? The Runaways
The Runaways ·1978
"I actually saw The Runaways during this period, this is their very last album. They were the band, along with the Ramones, that really inspired my brother and myself to pick up guitars."

Do Hollywood
The Lemon Twigs ·2016
"Last thing I got here was this band The Lemon Twigs. Two brothers, very young. Stylish dressers. Kinda sound a little bit like Queen, Beatles... Todd Rundgren. Yeah, Beach Boys, vocally. They switch off playing drums and guitar, but they're cool."
