Hi I'm Danielle.
I'm Alana.
And I'm Este.
And we are Haim and we are at Amoeba
and we're about to show you what's in our bag.
Mine's the best.
Numero uno.
Our fave.
Selena Quintanilla. She is a very big inspiration to me growing up.
Look at how epic she is, what she's wearing, as a performer.
She sings, she dances, she writes, and she was in a family band.
I love her and I think I listen to Selena at least two or three times a week.
So thank you Selena Quintanilla. I love her. I love her.
I'm feeling very nervous, I'm perspiring.
You've got this. I believe in you.
ABBA, 'Super Trouper'
Well, there you go.
I was sick and tired of everything when I saw you last night in Glasgow.
It's true.
Wishing every show was the last show.
This is my pick, Este.
I found out that a super trouper...
I thought, growing up, because that movie came out when I was younger
I thought that they were literally talking about cops while they were singing the song.
But, no, they're not. A super trouper is a type of light.
So, fun fact.
But this record, yeah, this record has the... it was made in Germany
This record has 'The Winner Takes It All' which arguably is one of the best songs ever written.
I listen to it when... just to like put a knife in my heart when I'm already sad.
We love ABBA.
I love ABBA. My dad introduced me to ABBA, which was a big deal in my life.
Super Trouper.
Beams are gonna blind me.
See? There are beams, the beams. It's a light, it's not a cop.
M'kay.
'Miles Of Aisles,' Joni Mitchell live album. One of my favorites.
It's just so good. Her band was so good at this time.
But it was the live record, so sometimes when people play her actual records
I'll know these versions better than I know those versions
and we'll all be singing it in the car and I'll totally do the live version.
They'll be like, that's not how it goes. It's probably my favorite Joni.
I mean, it's just so cool to hear her live. And it's recorded so well, it sounds amazing.
I'm just warning you, I have nothing but the hits.
You're fired. Ok, I know, I get it.
It's all killer, no filler. I'm just warning you. Ok.
Because everything is a competition in this family.
I went to the DVD section and I picked up
Whoa.
a classic.
I love this movie so much.
I saw this movie in theaters at least ten times
Didn't dad take you?
Dad took me...
Let me tell you, Este had not only the double VHS because...
Wait, wait, wait, I went to go see it with my father in theaters and I cried the whole time.
Then I went with my friends another nine times to see it.
And then you got a t-shirt.
I got a t-shirt.
And a poster.
Wait a minute, yeah, t-shirt, poster, but whatever.
I had my friend go down to Santee alley and get the bootleg version before the VHS even came out.
So I had access to watching it after I'd finished my homework in sixth grade.
And then I woke up every morning to the soundtrack.
No, no, where the boat takes off, it's like doo doo doo doo doo
and they sample like a toot-toot.
That's a great pick Este.
So I needed this in my life.
I actually still have the VHS, but I don't have the DVD version. So thank you Amoeba.
There we go. That's what Este's gonna be doing tonight.
Fire.
That is fire. What am I gonna do now?
I'll do a l'il Donna Summer.
That's a good one.
'Love To Love You Baby.'
When we uses to do the dishes at my house, 'cause after dinner you do the dishes
my mom would always put on Donna Summer, and now looking back on it, this song's a little risqué
for like a five-year-old.
I don't think we knew what was going on
I definitely did not know what was going on. I was like, this is a great beat.
But yeah, we used to listen to this song while we were doing the dishes.
I have great memories of drying. I would not wash.
Este would wash, I would dry, Danielle would put away.
It's a good drying tempo.
Yeah it's a great drying tempo and I love Donna Summer.
And mom would also be like, I used to dance with your father to this all the time.
And now looking back on it, I don't want to know.
A little awkward.
I just don't want to know.
But still a great song.
Holds great memories.
So my next pick is Mitch Hedberg.
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too.
I remember being in a car with my friend Marina.
She first introduced me to Bill Hicks.
I don't do drugs. I want to thank management for offering.
That was actually the other one that I was gonna get. I love Bill Hicks too but
I just remember, I don't think I've laughed this hard in my entire life.
Y'know he's the king of one-liners.
I like to take a toothpick and throw it in the forest and say 'you're home.'
Wait, does this have 'Minibar' on it?
This is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life because it is my life.
Everything in a minibar is just super expensive and you...
It's a magical machine that makes things more expensive.
I really wish I could just put the track on because basically...
When I take something out of the minibar, I always fathom that I'm gonna replace it
before they can check me off
but they make that shit impossible to replace.
I go to the store and say, 'Do you have Coke in a glass harmonica?'
Do you have individually wrapped cashews?
So thank you Mitch Hedberg for literally bringing so much joy and happiness into my life.
I love you very much.
We miss you.
This is like a twofer.
Ok, I love a twofer, awww.
A twofer Shania?
Yes.
I mean this one's the classic. 'Man I Feel Like a Woman.'
Come on.
Look at that, look at her. Also look at her pants.
I think that's the reason I started wearing red lipstick.
Wait, does that one have 'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?'
Yes.
'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?' and also 'Any Man of Mine'
If you see that video, basically looks like this.
She's in the most amazing two-piece denim Canadian tuxedo
Well, she's Canadian.
Exactly.
There you go.
Yeah we love you.
You're a legend. We love you, Shania.
Shania love you.
See what I did there?
Ok, let's move on.
My next pick is a movie that I've actually already bought at Amoeba.
But I think it's... I'm gonna buy it again because I love it so much.
'A Goofy Movie.'
So good.
Such a big part of our childhood.
Let me tell you something, it chokes me up to even talk about it.
This movie changed my life.
There is a character in this movie named Powerline
and the whole story revolves around Max trying to get to LA to go to the Powerline concert
Max is Goofy's son.
Are we giving away spoilers right now?
If you haven't watched this movie
what the fuck? Go fucking watch it.
The songs are so good.
And I've never been so passionate about a movie. Next.
Left or right? C'mon Max.
Left.
I chose this record it's called 'Batucada Por Favor.'
Nice.
And it's a compilation of batucada music. It's basically carnival music.
I went to UCLA and our band was BatUCLAda.
BatUCLAda.
So we were really proud of that when we figured that out.
When I hear Brazilian carnival music, it does something to my body and my insides.
It just makes me want to move and it's such fun music.
Fire.
Pick it up.
That's great.
Nice.
I love that.
Ok, hard to top that one.
Ok so my next pick is Gerry Rafferty.
Nice.
There's a song on this record 'City To City' that's called 'Right Down the Line.'
Classic.
This song I always put on when I need to just chill.
It's a very like decompressing song. If you put it on you're just like...
And it honestly never gets old. I think I play this song maybe once a day.
I think there's really good claves in that.
Gerry Rafferty. Love this record. Thank you for making it.
Sick cover too.
I know, great cover.
This is my favorite Britney Spears record, just 'Britney.'
Just 'Britney.'
Britney Spears, just being Britney.
I just realized that Tom Coyne mastered it. That's probably why it sounds so good.
But yeah, 'I'm A Slave 4 U,' are you kidding me? Neptune's production? So good.
'I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman.' That video changed my life.
All you need is time.
A moment that is mine.
While I'm in between.
Boop.
Oh we missed it. Boop.
So, Britney, we love you.
Bulgarian Women's Choir.
I was and an ethnomusicology major in college and
the other emphasis that I had was Bulgarian folk music.
I remember my teacher showing the class a video of this band
on the Johnny Carson show in the 80s.
Just watching these beautiful, magical women singing this beautiful music
and it was nothing that I'd ever heard before.
And it just made the hairs on my arm kind of stand up.
I'd heard Bulgarian music pretty much my whole life
but not this band in particular and not just a female choir.
And I remember hearing it and being like, this is what I want to do.
I would sing some of the songs for you.
However, there are no other women in this room that I believe know the words.
That's the truth.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
That's a great pick though.
Get this record, it'll change your life.
Ok this is my last one. So I think I was at home sick one day
and I stole your walkman. There was a CD already in there
and I listened to and remember being like, what is this?
I'm really curious to which one.
Oh, yeah.
Ace of Base.
Did you get it in '92?
I got it in '93.
Ok, so that means I was three.
I remember listening to 'Don't Turn Around.'
That song blew my mind as a child.
Those drum loops.
Oh it's so good. And I feel like the underlying theme of this what's in my bag is
it gets your body moving.
So this gets my body moving.
I just remember watching 'Full House'
and Stephanie was in a band, was in an all-girl band, and they covered 'I Saw The Sign.'
And then something blew up on stage or something and they lost the talent show.
Wah-wah.
Oh Stephanie, how rude.
How rude, but yeah.
That's a good pick.
Ace of Base, 'The Sign.' There you go.
Thank you so much guys.
Yeah, thank you. I hope we did ok.
Yeah you did fantastic.
Awesome.
I hope we're not lame.
