"I got Guided By Voices 'Alien Lanes.' Lo-fi masters. I used to cover 'Game of Pricks' in a 3-piece band of mine. There's nearly 30 tracks on here, all really short but just snippets of pop genius."Watch this moment

Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
"There's a guy called Hailu Mergia who's Ethiopian, who is, I guess, more famous for his kind of afro soul funk kind of stuff. This is him kind of mucking around with some Moogs and some synths and some early drum machines in the early 80s but really interesting."Watch this moment
"The Kinks 'Arthur.' Really kooky kind of stuff. I guess I take a lot of influence from that. So yeah, another sixties classic. Ray Davies is a genius, such a good songwriter."Watch this moment
"I got this Ultimate Spinach, like a 60s band that didn't last too long. I think it's only one of two, maybe three records they put out. First track 'Gilded Lamp of the Cosmos' is awesome."Watch this moment
"Cate Le Bon... it's a great record. She's a really great guitarist and a really lovely person as well."Watch this moment
"Yeah it's just a sweet Nuggets-style garage classic from the sixties. Mid-sixties I guess. Also another band that had a lot of influence when I was kind of younger."Watch this moment
"Motorhead 'Overkill.' Classic. Rest in peace Lem. This is with Filthy Phil on the drums, who sort of trademarked the double kick groove which I've not yet mastered. I've always wanted to be really good at it but I can't do it."Watch this moment
"Yeah, it's got all the bangers on it. It's like the perfect album to put on in the morning when you wake up."Watch this moment
