Blue
Joni Mitchell ·1971
"I just saw these reissues Joni Mitchell blue... I listened to this record and I didn't like it the first time I heard it. She's too high and it was too melodic and hyper melodic, and then of course a year or two later I heard it again for some reason and the earworm got me, you know, and this is one of my favorite records."

"Martin Denny Exotica, I like that. I like a lot of the bird sounds. I love where this takes my head; this is one of those records where you can be in a bad mood and it'll always just kind of bring you to a spot that's a little more pleasant."
