The first thing I got was the Exile on Main Street
Rolling Stones box set. Have you guys heard of these guys?
I love this record. Arguably their best record.
I can argue with you about that.
Arguably.
On the Stones tip, I got the TAMI Show, the Big TNT Show.
My brother and I used to obsess on in the 80s.
We spent a lot of time watching beat-up old VHS tapes.
You'd have to find these things, these little buried treasures
and what this was was a concert that took place at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium
in 1964, and they had all the big stars of the moment
and I guess the big controversial thing was the Rolling Stones headlined
after James Brown. He was dead set on schooling those upstarts.
I wouldn't have went on after James Brown, no way.
Well, that's the thing, is that...
No way.
You have to give it to the Stones, because I think they were freaked out about it, but
but y'know, they rallied and met the challenge.
Did they get their heads handed to them?
I mean, they kinda did.
It's a great concert, it's an important concert
and then, y'know, it's also Ike and Tina Turner
are in it, and they kill it
I wouldn't have went on after her either.
I also got...
Well, three in a row
A Stones box set, which this probably is the best Stones record.
That's really good.
I mean, this is my favorite era of the Stones, for sure.
I have a friend who is Charlie's drum tech
and he invited me down to come look at his drum set.
He's had the same kit since about the mid-70s
All the hardware is super old, older than me.
I said to my friend, does he know that they make new stuff?
and he's like, yeah he just doesn't care, doesn't give a shit at all
Most of his cymbals are broken, right?
they're not broken but they're all China cymbals
They're all China cymbals.
except for this one ride that's like this flat ride
A China cymbal is this cymbal that makes this sound like 'tshow'
It's not your standard cymbal, it's not what he used on 'Get Off My Cloud' I can tell you that.
No, but he's been using them for a long time, because, I mean, it's on 'She's So Cold.'
Yeah, it's that kind of sound.
Never doubt Charlie.
Isn't that a fun fact?
So that's 3 Rolling Stones things in a row.
Yeah.
I think this is from last year, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds
a band led by Kid Congo, who's got a really excellent resume
if you're not familiar with him, he was in
The Cramps, the guitarist in the 'Psychedelic Jungle' era of The Cramps and
Gun Club.
He was in The Gun Club, and I guess he was also in Nick Cave, yeah, but
he's had his own solo career for quite awhile and
I haven't heard this one but I've heard really good stuff about this
and I think that 'Pink Monkey Bird,' that's a reference to the lyric in 'Moonage Daydream' by David Bowie.
Oh, me, yes. Ok, let me see. Well this is a good one
Ah.
'On the Corner,' Miles Davis.
I thought this would be such a great record to DJ
when I do DJ, because people love hearing
crazy, freaked out Miles Davis jazz when they're drinking at bars. At least I do.
That's the best one, I think.
Yeah this is a really great one.
If you don't have it, or if you heard it and you don't like it, then you are a jackass.
Countering that is another Miles Davis record.
I'm a huge fan of the electric era.
I don't have this so I thought why not.
So speaking of Miles Davis, I got the last Runaways album.
I actually saw The Runaways during this period
this is their very last album
Where'd you see them?
I saw them at the Whiskey.
They were the band, along with the Ramones
that really inspired my brother and myself to pick up guitars.
I have a friend who kind of has amnesia. He lives in the Valley
as I was driving him around the other day
and he's like, where am I? And I'm like, you're in the Valley
He said, what's the Valley? And I put on some Runaways
This is the music of these people.
and, god, it made for the best day.
and I'm kind of a product of their influence, I think, in a lot of ways
and I don't know if it gets all that much respect from my kind of folk
and I just want to put that out there, up there, one of the greats
I bought the new Ty Segall record that just came out.
He's my neighbor, so I'm supporting y'know, my neighborhood.
Support the local scene.
That's right, yeah.
Steven said that he recorded this with Steve Albini?
I read that on the internet. Yeah, that's true.
I got a John Huston movie, 'Wise Blood.'
The book's also really great.
This movie, for those of you haven't seen it, is really good.
A guy who wants to create his own church called the Church of Truth Without Christ
The Church Without Christ don't have a Jesus
but it needs one. It needs a new Jesus.
One that's all man without blood to waste.
And the story was written by Flannery O'Connor
when she was like 19.
Where does a girl in rural Georgia
who's basically a teenager, come up with this stuff?
It's really twisted stuff
really good, and I bought it for Dale.
Aw, thank you so much.
Ok, so I got this: Savoy Motel.
A young group I saw the other night and...
Is that the band you took the picture of and sent me?
Yeah I did, I took a photo of Savoy Motel
I sent you a picture of the last live show I went to.
You saw Elton John.
Buzz really enjoys things like an Elton John concert in Las Vegas
I do. It was fun.
I saw this and I had to get it. I love collecting Disney records.
Disney's getting on the reissue vinyl trip here
Just in time. It's a great picture disc.
Yeah.
That is really good.
This has got Cubby on it, from the Mouseketeers.
Does Cubby play drums on it?
Yeah. Cubby is my drumming hero.
Everybody always thinks it's John Bonham or Keith Moon
Or Ringo.
No, it's Cubby.
Here's my last one, it's another movie, another John Huston movie
'Treasure of Sierra Madre'
This is the greatest movie ever made.
The cards are dealt the other way now, and for the last time no more shuffling.
What cards you talking about?
I'm going to finish this right now.
No more taking orders from you like I had to do today, get me?
You mean you're gonna murder me?
Oh, brother, not murder, no. Your mistake.
I'm doing this to save my life, that you'd be taken from me the minute I wasn't looking at you.
I've seen this movie at least 150 times.
It's one of those movies that, at my house, my wife is a really good sport.
She was into it, to some degree, for the first 75 times I made her watch it.
I figured, if she's willing to put up with 75 full viewings of 'Treasure of Sierra Madre'
She must really like you.
She must really like me, really good. And...
This one I bought for Steven.
Ah.
Because I know you don't have it.
That's true, I don't have it, but we've spoken about it.
Ok, so I got this, I haven't seen this yet.
It's no secret that the Stooges were a good band.
We are in an undisclosed location.
interrogating Jim Osterberg
about The Stooges, the greatest rock n roll band ever.
Iggy and The Stooges reinvented music as we know it.
It looks like, just from what I've seen in the previews, that there's some incredible footage
That's a new one, right?
Yeah, that you wouldn't have necessarily expected to exist.
So yeah, I'm excited about this, and look at this wall of Sunn amplifiers
long before stoner rock ever existed.
I had 'The Stooges' written on my notebook when I was in junior high, and all these kids were like...
Yeah, but it was the Three Stooges.
Yeah that's what they said, the kids were like 'oh, The Three Stooges'
Actually there's four.
I'm sorry it's not, y'know, Journey.
So last thing I got here was this band The Lemon Twigs
Two brothers, very young. Stylish dressers.
Kinda sound a little bit like Queen, Beatles...
Todd Rundgren
Yeah, Beach Boys, vocally. They switch off playing drums and guitar.
but they're cool.
Yeah, they're really talented kids.
That's it. Now all we have left is the bag.
Thank you Amoeba.
Oh wait, we forgot to get Black Sabbath.
Oops.
