Hi I'm Brian from Mastodon.
I'm Bill from Mastodon. We're at Amoeba Records.
I got some pop music from Iraq.
I liked the way it looked and I'm into Middle Eastern pop music y'know
I like a lot of Egyptian top 40, especially from the early 90s/late 80s.
Something about the keyboards they were using back then
struck a chord with me.
Alright, this is what I got. This is one of the greatest bands on earth, The Melvins
and it's a re-release of 'Ozma' and 'Bullhead.'
'Bullhead,' that's the first Melvins record I ever heard.
Yeah.
On a cassette tape.
It was mixed really quiet
but I think hopefully they remastered it a little louder
because most Melvins records are meant to be played super loud.
I got a Max Roach drumming album. Award-winning drummer.
Max Roach, one of my favorite drummers.
Here he is, he's got his own album. If you haven't, you should.
What'd you get?
Got a little Robert Johnson, 'Drunken Hearted Man.'
He's a Satanist.
I feel pretty good today so I want to listen to some blues and bring myself y'know to a more...
Yeah, time to bring it down a little bit.
Bring it down a notch. This is where, y'know, rock n' roll came from.
Without it we'd be listening to Kraftwerk.
Mozart.
Mozart. Boring.
Magma.
They sound like...
like something really hot that's under...
under the ground.
It's a psychedelic rock experience.
If you haven't heard them, you should get this record right here.
What's that?
Power trio before Neil Peart was in the band.
Got this guy on the drums
and you got some great songs on here, 'Working Man'
'Need Some Love'
One of our favorite bands.
Yeah, Rush is good stuff. And it's a box set so it's a limited edition, 200 gram.
That's really good.
I got Alice Coltrane's 'A Monastic Trio.'
That's John Coltrane's wife. She's incredible
and maybe, I guess overlooked, because the shadow of her husband is so large.
but she put out some amazing and very emotive
records in her career, and this is one of them.
Thanks for talking with us today.
No problem.
Thanks for having us.
