Every quote links to the moment in the episode."This Record is by Martin Newell and it's called The Off White Album. He is the lead singer of Cleaners from Venus, a band I love, and he's super prolific. I'm not exactly sure how he sifts through what he does and what makes it as a Cleaners from Venus album or a solo thing, but I'm excited to hear this."Watch this moment
"Mainly for the version of 'The Circle Is Small,' which is about a Toronto circular apartment building he lived in, and there was some circular relationshiping going on within the confines of the edifice. It's very good, really nice, slow phaser pervades. Yeah, hell of a record."Watch this moment
"Oasis Be Here Now, a hot button topic for Oasis fans and rock fans, but I believe it's great and I look forward to the comment section."Watch this moment
"I have a Judy Collins Judith, mainly for 'Send in the Clowns,' a classic Sondheim tune, devastating, probably better than the Sinatra version, I would contend."Watch this moment
"I found this TV personalities album, Mummy You're Not Watching Me. I love Dan Tracy if he's out there hi, keep doing what you're doing there's a lot of gems on here though painting by numbers beautiful song and I just love the collage."Watch this moment
"it's called one two three it says they sport an impressive Heritage but they're also creating something that's unique and proudly their own spooky danceable subtle compelling music for a post-pandemic world."Watch this moment
"the who sell out recently reissued but uh tattered 10 version is good enough for me they're in full Camp mode on this one but uh amazing songs uh first track I mean Armenia in the sky or as they pronounce it arminia good smirk on an old uh Townsend on this one kind of created a genre a little bit just sort of the Mad cap commercial jingle record a little bit but great Tunes."Watch this moment
"Falling Into You, one of my favorite records growing up... there's some sensual themes on this album... I remember playing with all my little dog figurines to this album every day."Watch this moment
"This is a very thick robust version of The Fall's Bend Sinister. I'm a big fan of The Fall and this is probably my favorite record from them, so I'm happy to finally get it on wax."Watch this moment
"I grabbed the Byrds' Greatest Hits... their songs are sort of cloud parting and could be put on at any time and just it transports you into this happy place."Watch this moment
