Hi I'm Riley.
I'm Jake.
Hi, I'm What About Mortal Orchestra.
Well, I headed to the jazz section first. Got some Miles.
I had to figure out if I wanted to get the rechannelled for stereo or the mono reissue.
I got Chet Baker. I chose this because it's related to Miles
because people used to get angry about Chet Baker being white, but I think he's really good.
And he's one of my heroes, but I don't know this record.
I was going to get 'Chet Baker Sings,' because that's one of my favorite albums.
But this one has a better record cover and it's also pink.
He was just like the James Dean of jazz, they call him I guess.
I went with 'Dune' first, because it was seven bucks.
And I'm an Eno fan and I love the movie.
And the guy's got a sweet missile in his hands.
Traveling without moving.
Now I truly control the world.
This is a Dorothy Ashby record.
Not even sure how you pronounce that word but I know this is a really cool record.
Ridiculously talented musician.
She's playing a variety of crazy instruments
with kind of psychedelic orchestral arrangements behind it.
Wah-wah and a symphony kind of thing and she's singing too.
Very into it.
Cool rug.
It ties the room together. It ties the album cover together.
It ties that to that.
This is T.R. Mahalingam.
'Essential Recordings Of Carnatic Bamboo Flute'
When I shop for vinyl, I just always go for something that has a good cover.
That's like one of the best record covers I've ever seen.
I thought it said 'doctor' because he looks like a doctor to me.
Guaranteed that is good.
I went for 'The Idiot' because it's an obvious choice.
Everybody should have it and I don't have it.
I got this bracelet as a pairing for 'The Idiot.'
I feel like you can put on this bracelet and listen to this record
and then you learn how to be cool.
Picked this one up. I'm ashamed to say that I have very little hip-hop on vinyl
and I've started to change that.
We both got this.
I was this close. I literally was.
It was right next to it, and you went like this
you were like, 'no, too obvious' and grabbed the thing.
So there's this song on here, 'Rapp Snitch Knishes' Featuring Mr. Fantastik
that Ruban was playing in the van, maybe on repeat, for days straight.
At least once a day or something.
When we started coming out, UMO started coming out to that song
for maybe a couple years before shows.
I think that song taught me how to be a man a little bit more, for some reason.
Oh here we go. 'Way Out Wardell.' It was my dad's favorite jazz record in college.
He look for it for many years and couldn't find it, so every time I see a copy of it now I pick it up.
Ok so I have this one, Ramesh, and she's from Iran, but that's about all I know about this.
When a record has a cover like that, it's going to have music inside that I like.
I went with the hot new duo Wampire.
Ruban made the cover, which I think is awesome
which I think is really cool.
They're our friends and we kind of helped them make this record. And I don't have it.
And who doesn't want to look at that?
Yeah.
Well it has like a Pitchfork quote on here but it got just slammed.
That's why you take the one thing they say.
I picked up an Isley Brothers album.
I've been, for some strange reason, really into this lately.
They're one of those bands that was kind of heavily sampled by the early days of hip-hop and
it's kind of fun to go back to the original recordings and check out what they had going on.
That song 'Footsteps in the Dark' is the one that Ice Cube sampled for 'Today Was A Good Day.'
I got this thing. I don't really know that much about cumbia music
but my one experience with cumbia was, we were on tour
and we were in Paris and I got really intoxicated somehow and then
I kind of ended up on a boat. And they were having this like cumbia party
and I didn't know what that was until I was like...
Is that real?
Yeah. So y'know I eventually got back to shore
and I had to listen to a lot of cumbia and like
dance and hang out with a bunch of people that didn't speak any English.
And I didn't speak any French but it was really fun.
So I don't know, I guess I should start learning about this.
I told myself I was going to get something new, but I blew that one.
Is Art Pop out on vinyl?
I don't know.
Lada Gaggy?
