• Talk Talk's atmospheric album "Spirit of Eden" as the perfect music for a mixed-weather day
• The story of how New York film crews discovered Talk Talk's "Living in Another World" during Burger King commercial shoots in Northern California
• Sting accidentally sitting on a piano while recording "Roxanne," creating the iconic dissonant chord heard at the beginning
• Dolly Parton writing both "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" in a single day
• The origin of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" title (from graffiti referencing a deodorant brand)
• Prince's innovative recording techniques for "When Doves Cry"
• The contrast between Napalm Death's "You Suffer" (the shortest song at 1.316 seconds) and Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" (nearly 44 minutes)
