I'm up way past my bedtime to wonder how to introduce people to artists

Pete: Has been wanting to get into Brian Eno's solo stuff for a long time, I feel that Taking Tiger Mountain might a little too quirky for him, but I'm going back and forth between Warm Jets and Another Green World, heavily towards Green World. (I'd like to stop this blog post to say the middle section of "Mother Whale Eyeless" with the organ and girls singing is fucking AMAZING and I must cover it). 

Martin/Dad/Jon: I want to get them into the sweetthieves, I think they'd all really like them. My dad does already, but I really think Marty and Jon would dig them a lot. I think they'd also really dig some other bands. Oh god, Marty would fucking LOVE Arcade Fire and The Decemberists


I wanted to get Nick and Chris into the Residents, but I have no idea which album to give them, literally none.

For the record, I'm also IM-ing Harry as I write this. Yes, we're nerds. For Eno I vote for one of the first two (or all of the first four at once) For Sweetthieves, if they come to the show next week, they'll like them. I seem to think Marty already likes Arcade Fire, but I could be wrong. As for the Residents, always, always, always start with Duck Stab and Meet The Residents.
