Hey it's Adam from Jawbreaker, the drummer.
Hey I'm Blake. I'm at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles and this is What's in My Bag.
None of your business what's in my bag.
I'm gonna start by reaching arbitrarily into this bag.
It's Marcel Khalife 'Caress.' On sale this month, $3.95.
Partly it was the price point that got me to get this one.
Excellent.
And it has a song called 'With All The Love'
which I thought, how can you lose with a with a track like that on there?
So I'm not familiar with the record but I know his work
and I think this is gonna be a cool painting and drawing record to put on.
I got this Kendrick record for my daughter, as a present.
She's got a birthday coming up, so she gets this record.
She's a fan and so am I.
I listened to 'To Pimp a Butterfly' as it was blaring out of her room with the door closed.
Just blasting out of a 70s era Marantz going through JBL speakers.
She doesn't mess around.
Nine Inch Nails, 'Hesitation Marks.'
Haven't heard the record but I'm a big fan. As always it looks great.
Does look great.
So I'm excited also to go home and do some one-handed push-ups to this.
Industrial workout.
I'm excited though, I don't know this record but I really love 'With Teeth,' a kind of more recent one.
He always does really cool things with sound.
Not for nothing, but we just played with them and it was insane.
That's true. It's kind of lame, I'm wearing the shirt and I'm buying the record.
Here's the book I've been waiting to get. John Liu put this in my hands and said
read this because you weren't there.
But indeed I was there.
I'm really excited about it because apparently everyone takes on a chapter
and kind of writes from their perspective.
Maybe it's like the Rashomon of L.A. punk.
I haven't even cracked it. I didn't look at it but I was a history major, so...
I've been looking for this record for a long time.
Ah, the best.
Sinead O'Connor, 'Faith and Courage,' and somehow I missed it.
I'm a big 'Universal Mother' fan, and of course, the first two records.
and then you turned me on to 'Jealous'
which is great, and there's another song on here that really blew my mind.
What's the darkest title on there?
'Hold Back the Night,' maybe.
Maybe that's it. Well, I'll have to let you know. And also on sale.
But we'd be paying top dollar for any Sinéad.
This is embarrassing
because the way I found out about Julien Baker was someone forwarded me
a YouTube clip of her doing a Jawbreaker song, I think from Brussels.
I was so impressed by her version of our song that I think I mail ordered...
I might have written her a fan mail or something but
I got this on vinyl right afterwards and this really blew me away.
It's just guitar and vocals and just amazing songs. I'm a huge fan.
'Operation: Doomsday.'
I love Doom because he's a maniac with language.
He always has so much wordplay going on and so much kind of associative language.
I kind of know this record. I do know this record, but I'm happy to have it on vinyl.
It inspires my writing to be a little more dangerous, to court danger the way he does.
I was looking for the D.O.C., early Dre, D.O.C.
It's my all-time favorite hip-hop record
and it's out of stock. Probably because it's so good that it's just sold out right now.
His story is incredible. Also a maverick with the language.
This is another present for my other kid.
I was a little bit overwhelmed because when you come to Amoeba, it's like going to Costco.
If you don't have a list, you're fucked.
I was just walking in circles out there, so I just called my kid and said, what do you need on vinyl?
She said that she'd been looking for this Clean anthology for 3 years and just couldn't find it anywhere.
One of The Clean lives in my neighborhood.
For real? Which Clean?
Seamus. See him all the time at the coffee shop.
Good guy?
Great guy. We hang out.
Oh you do like a stop and chat thing?
We both were up for the same job.
and we kind of like talked...
Really? Who got it?
Hey.
But he still talks to me which is nice.
It's gotta end here, right?
I don't know this record, honestly. I love 'The Next Day.' Really was into that album
and so this was a great opportunity to come to...
we don't have a lot of record stores left in New York City
I knew we were gonna do this and I was kind of excited 'cause it's like
I bet they'll have that record, by David Bowie.
Keep all my good stuff though.
We're only gonna keep the good stuff.
Well then you're gonna keep the whole fucking thing, man.
Exactly.
'Cause it's all good.
I'm gonna do one where I just talk shit and it's gonna be called Baggin'.
I like that. I would watch Baggin'.
