Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
McCartney
Paul McCartney ·1970
"I got the McCartney record because I went down into my stacks the other day in Durham, North Carolina wanting to hear 'That Would Be Something' and I realized that I don't actually own this record. Paul McCartney is beautiful. He was the guy that I overlooked the most when I was a kid. Now I think he's the deepest musician of that whole band."

Christopher Idylls
Gimmer Nicholson ·1994
"I think it's pretty recently reissued on vinyl but it's a beautiful instrumental record by Gimmer Nicholson and it's really chimey, acoustic guitar stuff. That is an incredible record."

Laura Marling ·2017
"I heard this song 'Wildfire' on the radio and I was dropping my daughter off and it was one of those times I pulled off the road and had to find out what it was and it's Laura Marling and a beautiful record."
