Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
Pretty Hate Machine
Nine Inch Nails ·1989
"I've been on a 'Pretty Hate Machine' kick lately. In my mind, the third Japanese Breakfast LP is gonna be like Nine Inch Nails meets 'Homogenic' and be this amazing industrial, melodramatic, theatrical record. But I don't think I actually have the capability of writing that way."

Plastic Beach
Gorillaz ·2010
"Gorillaz 'Plastic Beach.' I know they came out with a new record but I just felt like I should really have this on vinyl. Huge fan of the song 'Empire Ants' and 'On Melancholy Hill.' It's just like an album full of bangers. So good. I feel like this is the weirdest, most vibrant and interesting album and love the anime art."
