Johnny Hager: Barbra Streisand’s The Concert from 1994. I bought the cassette in a bookstore in Mexico, where I grew up, and remember the first time we played it in the car. The album documents her return to the stage after 27 years. I remain obsessed with her intros and that voice. Cat Hollyer: Around 1986, I heard a clip of “Mother Nature’s Son” and was stopped in my tracks. My only way of finding out the song’s name was to pore over my Beatles sheet music.

Stella Bridie: The best gig I’ve ever seen was MUNA at the Metro Theatre in 2023. A group of us flew to Sydney for a joint birthday trip and caught the only headline show they were doing in Austrailia. Our flight got delayed and we ended up racing across the city to dump our stuff at a hostel and made it just in time for their set. It was sweltering weather and we were packed inside the venue, very sweaty, slightly out of breath.
