Currently listening to Dylan Jones' "Loaded: The Life (and Afterlife) of the Velvet Underground - really enjoying it so far.

I asked the internet for the quintessential prog rock record. Largely, their suggestion was: Close to the Edge by Yes.

Going from a Les Paul to a Rickenbacker can be confusing...

Both their outfits, and Pacino's glasses: perfect.

Just watched Donnie Brasco for the first time, and I was not prepared for the scene with Al Pacino and the card.

Also, wardrobe and styling was great.

Is there a reissue, remix, or remaster that has become your preferred version of an album to listen to?

[Spencer Riley Alfonso @SpencerRiley]

Ildefonso, Inc. just released the Song Breakdown of If You Ask(ed) Me and Capt. Sugarfoot by Topeka Clementine and Kimiko. Here's the microphones I used to record it: Shure SM7, AKG D 190 E, Telefunken AR-51.

Found this record at one of my favorite vinyl shops. It was on sale for $1. The album cover caught my eye. While filming an episode of Mothership Gear, Blow by Blow by Jeff Beck came up - so we decided to circle back for a proper album breakdown. https://t.co/V5TxfKinTt

“Well, it really starts in childhood…”

@JezCorden Having friends over to play Morrowind on PC, and then moving to console when the game came to XBOX. The freedom of taking NPCs homes and repurposing them as player homes was a blast. The monster designs are still some of the best.

Second breakfast, home made sour dough, coffee and friendship. Kai and I unlocked the lore of Topeka Clementine.

Hanz and I talk about his Duesenberg Starplayer TV, in his words - it feels like butter. Episode releases next Tuesday.

[Spencer Riley Alfonso @SpencerRiley]

The Tauntaun will be missed, but I still had a great time talking with Jonathan Hall of Gentlest Gentleman. We discussed his songwriting process, collaborating with producers, and his musical influences.
