The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band [2009 Stereo Remaster] (EMI/Capitol)
Phil and I bonded over our love of “I Am the Walrus” in tenth grade art class. We’ve been obsessing over music together ever since. We used to ride our bikes to each other’s houses to listen to records and tapes. We no longer live a bike-ride away from each other, but fortunately technology allows us to still have virtual record parties.

Dennis Wilson – Pacific Ocean Blue (Legacy Edition) (Sony Legacy)
