* According to Ian, [[https://qxlkbh.github.io/126 126: qxlkbh - The Lost Episode]] is filled with Music/TheVelvetUnderground references. Besides the name-dropping of the albums ''Music/{{Loaded}}'' and ''Music/{{Squeeze|1973}}'' in the description, there's also one involving ''Music/MetalMachineMusic'', one in which Moe Tucker is depicted as a lumberjack, and, given Andrew's mentioning of a character saying "So... he's gone Bananas?", possibly also one referencing ''Music/TheVelvetUndergroundAndNico'' banana.
