Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
Shake Some Action
Flamin' Groovies ·1976
"It's a kind of weird one. It was recorded at the same time as the rock and roll records but I got ditched. It's got that song 'Shake Some Action' on it, my favorite song ever, I think."

69 Love Songs
The Magnetic Fields ·1999

Wrecking Ball
Emmylou Harris ·1995
"I got Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball. We started touring, like our first tours, our engineer always played the 'Where Will I Be' on every sound check, so it kind of reminds me of the younger days with The Hives. It's an amazing song, one of my favorite songs, and the sound is amazing and the record is amazing; it's a must-have."
