Ladies first.
Oh, very nice. Well, I had a great time exploring and
whilst looking for classics, I found a record with my name on it, which is really weird.
My first pick is Bobby Caldwell, an album that has one of my favorite songs.
I think it's one of the band's favorite songs. 'What You Won't Do For Love.'
This is Astrud Gilberto, who is a Brazilian jazz singer I guess.
We were in Brazil and we were on Ipanema Beach and I thought of 'The Girl From Ipanema.'
It reminds me of my dad and I've been playing it in the backstage a lot and at home.
So it's kind of become like a thing I put on.
This is my favorite Nina Simone record. I think it's actually a live recording
and it's got a track on it called 'Funkier Than A Mosquito's Tweeter.'
Really good to play in the club, as well as listen to just at home .
I chose this album for my fiancé Hannah who is a huge Erykah Badu fan.
I've been listening to a lot more Erykah Badu since I've been with her.
And I know she loves this and we always listen to the vinyl at home. So this would be great to have.
This is a compilation of Northern Soul that came out this year
and it's got a track on it that I've been looking for by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons called 'The Night.'
Great tune, but I haven't found it on 7". So now I have it.
A film documentary that we all love is Depeche Mode '101.'
Thought it was really relevant right now because we're here in LA and
y'know we're kind of thinking about our interaction with our fans
and I love this documentary because it focuses so much on their fans and not about them.
And I just love all this artwork, all the merch.
And it comes with a 16-page photo booklet which is really cool.
And, I mean, hearing all of these songs live is just awesome. So it sounded like a good one.
Ok, this is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Timmy Thomas, 'Why Can't We Live Together?'
I first heard it in Amsterdam when a friend of mine played it and I asked him what it was.
And then it's kind of had a recurring... it's come up a lot in my life.
Drake sampled it for 'Hotline Bling.'
This is a promo of a Portishead single, 'Cowboys.'
I'm a massive Portishead fan, so it's always good to own something like this, which is a little bit r arer.
Oh wow. And I found a Portishead t-shirt
which I'd never seen before in my life. And we didn't know that we both picked those things.
That's great.
You can see we're big fans.
This is an album by The Distillers who are a punk band.
When I was a 14 year old girl, I became obsessed with The Distillers
and Brody Dalle is a hero of mine and it was the first gig I ever went to.
The Distillers, Peaches, Eagles of Death Metal, and Pretty Girls Make Graves
and it was a great introduction to live music.
And I was in the mosh pit at the front, with some guy strangling me.
And it was like... really sort of woke me up and yeah, so it was awesome.
I saw Tony from The Distillers in the shop today
and I felt like I wanted to get something from them.
This record I actually picked up this week in a thrift shop in Joshua Tree
and it's a bit old and scratched and I just found that they re-released it.
It's Aly-Us, 'Follow Me.'
It's quite relevant to what's going on today, but it was actually released in 1993 or something.
Is that the one you played in the dressing room?
Yeah.
It's got really amazing lyrics, that one.
A band that we all really love is Chromatics.
I just love the instrumentals and stuff on here.
They have always been a big influence to us and continue to do so.
I'm so excited to hear new music from them. It sort of feels like they're teasing us.
And they do a great cover of 'I'm On Fire' by Bruce Springsteen.
I only have one more thing and it's actually a present from Romy.
It's 'The Best of The Alan Parsons Project' on tape.
Alan Parsons was a producer in the 70s
and he made some amazing records. Weird, experimental, but they sound great.
So thank you.
You're welcome. When I went round to Jamie's once, he used to have a flat which was incredibly small
and just had a huge amount of records and a huge, giant sound system in it.
And he played me 'Eye in the Sky.' Is that what it's called?
Yeah.
And it just sounded incredible.
My final thing is actually a present for Oliver, who's not here
and it's obviously a poster of Cher.
One of my favorite videos of all time is a video of Cher and Tina Turner dancing.
I think it's called 'Shame' and it starts with one of them just screams.
I used to always just cry laughing. So I saw this and thought he'd appreciate it.
Awesome. Thank you guys, really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Thank you.
