Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
The Visitors
ABBA ·1981
"Abba's The Visitors is actually my favorite ever record. It's just more mature, I guess. Something about Abba's latest stuff that's just really interesting and kind of darker."

Glastonbury 2000 (Live)
David Bowie ·2018
"There's Glastonbury 2000, there's six sides to it. I'm normally not a fan of multiple vinyl just because I can't be bothered with it, but super good. It's just like nice one to whack on whenever really."

Parma Violets
Jealous of the Birds ·2016
"I really like this, it's really interesting kind of lo-fi in places, sort of indie a bit. The title track 'Parma Violets' is super beautiful, and they're just really nice well-written songs. The production is really charming and they were really, really cool live."

CLPPNG
clipping. ·2014
"Clipping was a band that me and my friends used to listen to a lot in school and it's still just like pretty cutting-edge album. The songs don't really suffer; the lyrics to production, you know, the delivery, everything is just really excellent."
