From the first time I mentioned the show idea to her, she knew she was going to go with No Doubt's "Return of Saturn". We talk about Gwen Stefani, relationships, and life... and I try to make a few Gavin Rossdale/Bush jokes, but none are really that funny.

He's one of my favorite bartenders, a constant fantasy hockey nemesis, and an all-around good dude. We're talking about The National's "Trouble Will Find Me", and why such a recent album is already one of his favorites. We recorded the episode on location at Barcelona Bar, but alas, no Harry Potter shots were consumed.

Well, that song isn't on Aileen Burns' favorite Hanson album.

This week, I'm turning over hosting duties to Tyler Soucy and Pete Weiland from A Great Big Pile of Leaves. I'm going to be talking about one of my favorite albums, which happens to be "You're Always On My Mind" by A Great Big Pile of Leaves. In between a lot of goofing around with my guest hosts, I also delve into what this album means to me, and why I picked it ahead of one of my all-time loves, Weezer's "Pinkerton".

As an adult, Diaz (I don't think I've ever called him Brian) ended up working for Guns N' Roses, so we also talk about how that affected him after having spent so many years loving and absorbing this album.

He hit me up on Twitter and said he could talk about Faith No More's "The Real Thing" for about an hour, so we scheduled a time and went from there. Being the first guest that I didn't really know on a personal level, I was curious as to how the conversation would go, turned out to be a lot of fun.

We ramble a bit, and for some reason talk about Limp Bizkit more than I would have expected.
