Everything from Bad Company to Radiohead to Rachel’s to Credence Clearwater Revival to Twilight Singers to John Lennon. I’d wanted to incorporate Stevie Wonder in the soundscape somewhere — I felt like Meredith and Clay needed a love song — and it just didn’t work out. One of my favorite parts of the show is the presence of Godspeed You Black Emperor and Silver Mt Zion. I also enjoy having Elvis Costello in the post-show music.
