Hello my name is Necrobutcher, aka Jørn Stubberud.
I'm here at the Amoeba record store. This is what's in my bag.
The Cult. First album I heard was 'Electric.'
Y'know, it's just one classic song after the other.
And then when I saw this one, I don't have this one so it was an easy pick.
Talking Heads, one of my favorite bands from the back in the days.
I think, subconsciously I'm drawn to artists/bands that have great bass players, and...
Depeche Mode. I like this kind of depressive-style thing.
The suicidal shit going on, but this is more like
when you lost your girlfriend and everything looks black
put on the Depeche Mode album everything will be alright.
The Beastie Boys. I already have this CD.
I have all the Beastie Boys CDs. Full collection.
But of course, played it to death, took it to parties, had it in my car and everything.
So it wrecked... the last four songs are like blip-blip-blip and all that shit.
So now I have it mint condition again.
The Police. I enjoy this album, one of the best Police albums ever.
Reason why I picked this was that I had it on cassette tape
when I saw this now, I'm thinking, fuck
I don't have it on vinyl, I don't have it on CD
and my tape, yeah, tape recorder, or player is wrecked.
Ministry.
Great rock n roll metal band with that psychedelic little twist.
Plus they get inspired by being fucked up on drugs.
Y'know LSD opens up your mind and shit like that.
So you don't have to take LSD, just listen to Ministry.
I have this on vinyl but I need it on CD too.
The fucking Aussies, INXS. May be their best album.
Crazy stuff that happened to Michael.
You know that found strangled in his hotel room
after some wild sex game, choking and stuff going on.
And then his wife dies of an overdose.
When I listened to it before
it was good. When I listen to it now, it just adds more shit to it.
It's a different thing before and after the artist dies.
Some albums I can't even listen to
like after Chuck Schuldiner died I could not listen to Death for years.
I just... I was just... couldn't listen to it.
I'm over it now and I'm enjoying Death again
but y'know it adds something, a new dimension to the whole thing.
So The Rolling Stones.
The band I grew up with. The music that filled up my childhood home.
My uncles were deep into Stones.
This song here, it's called 'I Don't Know Why I love You But I Do.'
I would always get emotional when I heard those tender first chords of Mick Taylor's guitar.
Hit me like a ton of bricks every time I hear that.
And then I found out this year that actually that song was recorded
the day Brian Jones drowned in swimming pool.
So I was thinking, wow, is this why I'm watering eyes every time I hear this?
Subconsciously, didn't know about that. But that added, big-time.
When I have better time, I will go through the whole fucking store here
but it's going to take me a week at least.
So, thank you. See you.
