Due North
Liam Kazar ·2021
"Due North by Liam Kazar is one of my favorite records the last couple years. Liam's a very classic songwriter, he's an amazing singer, he's a great guitar player. It has a very specific vibe; it reminds me of something very classic."

Waiting For the Real Thing
Pointed Sticks ·2006
"I walked in and it was on the shelf by this band The Pointed Sticks from Vancouver. It was like my favorite band in 1979. I went straight from Kiss to Pointed Sticks and because I had a cassette that my friend gave me of all the singles and my cassette is long dead so I'm kind of stoked to have this."

He was a fascinating guy; he was a Canadian electronic musician slash session musician slash TV music creator and he was a real studio cat."
