Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
"I used to download a lot of Dilla instrumentals, specifically instrumentals from this album, and I used to write songs to the instrumentals."Watch this moment
"This is full of bangers. This is just like banger on banger on banger. The Smiths were a band that my dad told me about a lot when I was a kid... and then it wasn't until I was a teenager that I started listening to The Smiths and I started to listen to his lyrics."Watch this moment
"I love this album because I'm an arrangement geek and I like the idea of making music feel cinematic or visual, and I think strings really add to that. The arrangements on this album are amazing."Watch this moment
"When I'm in public, when I'm finding the day quite difficult but I can't take out my anger in an outward way, in front of other human beings, I put Death Grips on and turn it right up in my head and it feels like I'm getting all of that stuff out. It's the most therapeutic music to listen to if you're angry but also, they're amazing musicians, they're a really good band."Watch this moment
"My dad used to play this album in the car all the time, he had a tape of it... This has a very deep place in my heart. It reminds me of car journeys with my dad."Watch this moment
"I've been listening to a lot of Chet Baker recently, this album, specifically. I actually listen to this to help me sleep... Chet Baker just has one of the greatest singing voices ever, it's just like... it's like listening to smoke."Watch this moment
"Donny Hathaway 'Extension of a Man.' Says everything about what you hear. This is like listening to a person in album form. Donny Hathaway is my favorite. Probably one of my favorite artists, definitely my favorite singer of all time, because you believe every single word he says."Watch this moment
