Hello, I'm Stephen Morris from New Order. This is...
Gillian Gilbert from New Order as well.
And yeah we're here to do What's in My Bag
and this is what's in our bag.
You're gonna start Gillian, what did you buy?
I was looking at the t-shirts and this reminded me
of one of the first records I got obsessed with.
when I was about 16.
I never knew you liked that record.
Yeah we did, you played it, wore it out, my vinyl.
That was my favorite record as well.
Isn't that funny.
That's funny, I never knew you liked it.
I couldn't find the record, so
I've already got it.
I'm gonna get the t-shirt instead.
Can I have it?
Uh, no.
I've got this one by Señor Coconut.
That looks very festive.
Do you know who he is? ATOM™ who's done that 'HD' record.
Oh yes, yeah.
I think it's him, under another guise, doing a bit of a Latino thing so I thought that might be interesting.
Sly & The Family Stone box set. You can't beat a box set.
I'm going to keep this one and not play it til Christmas.
Why Christmas though?
Because nothing says Christmas like a box set.
And nothing says Christmas like Sly & The Family Stone.
Very good.
This is for my daughter, because she loves vinyl at the moment.
She loves vinyl and she loves the Gorillaz.
So you couldn't really go wrong with that one.
and Blur, so...
And then I got this for me, because I remember
The Jesus and Mary Chain being very noisy.
Do you remember when we went to see them?
Yeah.
When Bobby Gillespie was drumming for them. Bobby Gillespie used to drum for them, standing up.
I used to really like these as well.
They were very loud, they were, remember that gig.
Tell you what, you give me that and I'll save this for Christmas, and you can have this one
and give it to me at Christmas.
Right, we'll wrap them up, then.
Desmond Dekker.
Oh yes I remember him.
It's very cheerful, it's vinyl as well. I thought Grace could play this one as well.
Try and get her into a bit of reggae because you know she'll get tired of The Gorillaz eventually.
And this has got 'Shantytown' on it. And 'The Israelites,' which is, of course, his famous track.
Yeah they're monster tracks. Ska only did monster tracks.
Oh yeah, Papercuts. I've got their first record, or another record
It might not've been them. It's purely just because I like the name of the band.
And it was very good record and then I've just seen this one.
I don't think I've heard them.
No, you probably have, y'know, and you said 'turn this off.'
What's this rubbish you're playing? Well, it probably wasn't them, they're probably good.
That one, Jeff Beck, 'Truth.'
Oh yes.
Do you remember Ackerman's, the clothes shop?
Denmark.
Yeah.
Well the guy in... it was at school with the lad who used to work in there
and we used to go in on Saturday mornings, and when the bloke went out of the shop
we used to put this on and listen to it.
Put people off shopping.
Put people off buying school blazers.
They only had two records, the guy, Keith. Yeah and they were both by Jeff Beck.
It has got the stereo mix of 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining,' so that's another one that's going to be good for Christmas.
What have you got?
Lady Gaga.
Oh bloody hell, that's different.
'The Remix.' I was obsessed with Lady Gaga for a couple of years as well.
You still are, aren't ya? You still are 'cause you got that.
Well I have, yeah 'cause I need some new stuff.
She's a bit weird isn't she?
Yeah.
Then I got obsessed with Lana Del Rey.
And I've not heard this til now.
'Ultraviolence.'
New Order have got a song called that.
I know.
I wonder if it's a cover version.
The live version is really good.
We did some very good versions of 'Ultraviolence.'
Perhaps Lana Del Rey's been watching old videos of us.
I got this one because I like the cover. Venetian Snares.
Oh I saw that one as well.
It's funny, that, isn't it, we were both drawn to the same one.
It's very rare you go somewhere... it's like going to an art gallery in a record store.
Where you like the cover?
Yeah, but that was what we used to do.
And I got a weird book. Look, weird book by Brion Gysin.
Brion Gysin invented the Dream Machine
which was basically a lamp that was supposed to make you get all trippy but without drugs.
A friend of William Burroughs, who actually wrote the recommendation for this book.
"A mirage or a drug-induced revelation
as the intense immediacy of the search for mystic enlightenment."
And then it's got David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Brian Jones.
So yeah, this is for the one where Ian asked him for a copy of it.
Is it?
This isn't it, it was 'The Third Mind.'
Joy Division played a gig in the Plan K in Brussels
and Brion Gysin was... his book 'The Third Mind' had come out
and Ian went and asked him if he's got any of these books in English.
and Burroughs told him to 'fuck off kid'
which is the sort of thing you'd expect.
I've never seen a book by Brion Gysin since, in the shop for sale.
And then I got a birthday card for my niece, who will be 25 tomorrow.
Who would've thought you can find so much in one store.
Anything else?
Anything else... no that's it.
Thank you so much for talking with us.
That's alright, it's been a pleasure. Thank you.
