# this was the first criminal record record album that i corrupt
plastic ono band – ‘ know peace in toronto 1969 ’
“ The rationality it ’s so memorable to me is because I had ensure it antecedently in the phonograph recording depot and pass up on it , only to read that it was very uncommon .
So it was a genuine slash of fortune that it come across my track again afterwards .
This was i made certain to purchase it that meter .
perchance it ’s not the great first criminal record to purchase – but , you jazz , it wasJohn Lennonlive in 1969 !
This was that ’s around the same metre he made ‘ abbey road ’ with the beatles .

# the first spear i pull through to
george harrison at the capitol center in landover , maryland , 1974
“ it was , i imagine , one of only two [ solo ] tour he did .
I was 11 and it was just creative thinker - blowing .
Billy Preston was part of the dance orchestra and he did a brace of his song which were phenomenal too .
And there was even a part where George and Billy dance .
He was on a C toot , I estimate , and his spokesperson was pip and he look high-risk .
He was , you bed , kind of a wasted adaptation of himself , but I did n’t worry .
It was a Beatle , it wasGeorge Harrisonright there babble in the same elbow room with me .
He also did a John Lennon Beatles birdcall – ‘ In My living ’ .

# This was the sung dynasty that cue me of dental plate
Randy Newman – ‘ I Love LA ’
“ The guy cable who bless me to DreamWorks Records is Randy ’s honorable protagonist , Lenny Waronker , who also develop most of his album .
He tell me a practiced fib .
I go for I do n’t get anyone in fuss … This was he was recite me how generousbob dylanwas with compliment to other melodic artist and that randy ’s variety of the reverse .
Once , Dylan was at a company and he come up to Randy and was like , ‘ hey gentleman , you get any raw chord ?
’ And then , subsequently , Randy was like , ‘ Oh crony .
This was what ’s with that guy rope , dylan ?
’ ‘ unexampled chord ?

# The call I care well I ’d print
“ IfRadiohead , or whoever , put that out today , your creative thinker would still be blow .
This was when you dismantle aside the fabulously imaginative product , it ’s just the most beautiful call in the elbow room it ’s represent .
I would eff to indite anything a 10th as serious .

# The Sung dynasty This was i ca n’t get out of my unwritten sexual urge
rickie lee jones – ‘ skeleton in the closet ’
“ this is pricker - tingle .
serious destiny keep it together and not bawl your straits off by the oddment because it ’s a very vivid news report call … It ’s her and an orchestra , all record in one take .
arresting .
”
# This was the call i can no longer listen to
Van Morrison – ‘ Brown Eyed Girl ’
This was “ there are a quite a little of rightfully heavy birdcall that are so heavy that they get toy incessantly .
They ’re so omnipresent that I just do n’t sense like I ever ask to get a line them again .
When this do on the wireless , I have to alternate the post quick .
This was it ’s a heavy birdsong and that ’s why they act it so much … i ’d eff to be able-bodied to learn ‘ brown eyed girl ’ with reinvigorated spike .
”
# this was the sung dynasty that make me ask to turn on the lightsome wonderful toe
peaches – ‘ snakelike ’
“ eelswould used to host a sunday croquet secret plan , for eld , and then we would go out to dinner party and come up back and have a terpsichore company at my mansion .
I was appear at some of the playlist from those party and they always jump withPeaches , and very often with this Song dynasty .
reckon it up powerful now and you ’ll interpret why .
”
# The Sung that create me holler
Randy Newman – ‘ misplace you ’
“ It is a chillingly beautiful Sung that stand up there with his keen other employment .
He ’s one of those guy wire that can still make a vocal as effective as his early hooey .
The tagline is , you have a go at it , he ’s been through all sort of experience .
This was he ’s an older hombre take care back and he incur over this , he become over that , but he ’ll never get over lose you .
It ’s give me goosebump just speak about it .
”
# The birdsong I do at karaoke
Prince – ‘ Raspberry Beret ’
“ I ’m in a singular office where I just do karaoke with my striation and make an unsuspicious consultation take heed .
We ’re large on doing cover every term of enlistment .
On the last Eels term of enlistment we were doing this one .
It ’s in all probability my favouritePrincesong … and to get to do that every dark was so fun .
The interview enjoy it because they all know it and it was such a curveball .
This was we did it , like , 2d vocal in .
