THIS is one of my fave episodes. When a band comes to this show and legit goes record shopping. Not pontificates on albums they probably already own...

[@notsure4746]

I know nothing of this band, but their picks are so awesome I'm already confident they're awesome.

[@francisdaly1757]

They're amazing

[@lebombjames3911]

I love how they all have different music tastes, but you can clearly see how they align and overlap

[@luv4soccerjuju]

YES I FUCKING LOVE FUTURE ISLANDS

[@-fells-]

The Harold Budd track that's playing is called Dark Star. It's from Abandoned Cities. In case anyone else was looking ;)

[@reymontcantil199]
