Who better to ask for record recommendations than a man whose aim is to capture the perfect recording?
• Radiohead Hail To The Thief: “I don’t get into the details of whether this is better than the last one. They’re sonically interesting, and their work with Nigel Godrich is always evolving.”
• Grandaddy Sumday: “It also has videos on it, so it’s a hell of a deal.”
• Quasi Hot Shit: “The first Quasi record that I didn’t record on. I don’t have to think about the process, I can just enjoy it.”
• King Tubby King Tubby At The Controls: “A compilation with pretty early reggae stuff, then gets into his dub experiments.”
• Holly Golightly Truly She Is None Other: “I like the idea of the White Stripes, but can’t stand listening to them. It’s nice to hear something garagey that’s more tuneful.”

When the sun’s out wide in the sky, it’s normal to feel a pull towards the great outdoors. But beware, city folk, as you venture into the wilderness, for there lay many a peril, as Jimbow knows:
• Bears: “Bear spray will spray about 30 feet. But if you carry a bell, they normally stay clear if they can hear you coming.”
• Poison Oak: “Poison oak soap is good stuff. Just lather it up if you end up walking through it.”
• Mosquitoes: “Citronella and permethrine are pretty much a myth. Diethyltoluamide or DEET is actually proven to work. Get the highest concentration, and put it on a bandana around your wrist.”
• Rattlesnakes: “Snake bite kits are like a syringe that works in reverse. It’s better than trying to suck it out because you can swallow some of the venom.”
• Wolf Spiders: “Those critters are nasty!”
