Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
Flood
They Might Be Giants ·1990
"I honestly have not heard this album, but I heard the song 'Bird House in Your Soul' and I was like hooked on that and then I realized they did the Malcolm in the Middle theme song. Also, I've been meaning to dig into their discography."

Tomorrow's Modern Boxes
Thom Yorke ·2014
"I feel like people, it's not like a highly regarded album, but like when this came out, I was in Boston and it just whenever I listen to this record, it like brings me right back, you know, there. Some songs like Truth Ray, I don't know. It just has like this very specific vibe to it that I associate with like Boston Winter."

Reckoning
R.E.M. ·1984
"I feel like I'm a big R.E.M. fan, but my knowledge of it is like Murmur and then I kind of skip forward to like Out of Time and then onwards from there, but there's kind of like this early middle period which I haven't really explored."

Yellow Magic Orchestra
Yellow Magic Orchestra ·1978
"This is one of my favorite albums, Sello Magic Orchestra album. It's so sick, and I'm like listening to it on Spotify all the time. It's just like such a cool fun vibe like this electronic disco universe they've built."

Pictures At an Exhibition
Emerson, Lake & Palmer ·1971
"Emerson Lake and Palmer's Pictures at an Exhibition, so like their arrangement of the Mussorgsky classical piece... I grew up listening to this version and it's funny they added lyrics and like sing along to it and stuff."

Parallel Timeline
Slothrust ·2021
"I really am not familiar with Slothrust's Parallel Timeline, but the art just really jumped out at me. There's this like really cool creature, and the colors are sick."

Red
King Crimson ·1974
"I was looking for Discipline, but I didn't find it just because that's what I've been listening to lately. But this is obviously just as good, if not a better album. Starless, you know. What can you say about that?"
Watch this moment 8:17
"Outkast. Another classic. Yeah. What a cool concept for a duo. I feel like we should do that, you know? Like I'll write an album on my own. Totally. You write one on your own and then we'll put them together. Yes. No, it's such a it's insane how good all of it is."
