Hi I'm Phil.
I'm Chad.
I'm Daniel from Tijuana Panthers and we're at Amoeba.
And this is What's in My Bag.
So I picked this record Prince Buster.
It's just a compilation of some of his tracks.
The reason I got it was for this one song right here, 'Wash All Your Troubles Away.'
There's this old video, it's called 'This is Ska'
and it's just like showing old ska music from the 50s, late 50s
and there's a live performance that's pretty crazy that he does
and he's wearing this sweet baseball cap.
I got Pee-Wee's Playhouse box set number one and Pee-Wee's Playhouse box set number two.
We're all big fans of Paul Reubens. He's a heavy influence on our tastes growing up.
I'm donating my dickey.
What?
A dickey. It's a fake turtleneck.
Ohhh.
I got Milli Vanilli here. Really good price, buck ninety-nine for this baby.
'Blame It On The Rain' is pretty special to me because I did...
in the third grade I performed this song with my buddy.
We did a lip sync and we y'know, choreographed a little dance.
Our idea for our outfit was black sweats and a black sweatshirt.
We thought that was really sleek y'know.
Our dance was just kind of... I don't even think I really danced.
We kind of went in a circle. I didn't know the lyrics to the song.
It was a terrifying experience, but I felt good afterwards y'know.
I was pretty bummed when I found out they didn't really sing
but I still love the music y'know, so I'll listen to it.
You could redo it now at the appropriate age
Redo it?
The thing with your friend.
Nevermind. I'm thinking of an idea in my head.
Ok, gotcha man. Just way over my head.
Next pick was the Stranglers. I grew up listening to these guys a lot with my dad.
He introduced me to them.
For this single, the price is good, $1.99
and they look pretty sweet on the cover.
I'm a little bit of a Francophile. I was looking for Jacques Dutronc
but I stumbled upon, this is Jacques Brel.
Oh yeah that's a good one.
Really smooth stuff. A lot of songs on this album.
You can tell how smooth it is by that cover.
Two album. Oh yeah.
I got this Midnighters CD, it's like a greatest hits CD.
One of my favorite soul bands, and they're from East LA which is kind of cool.
But their vinyl's hard to find. Didn't find any today
but, from what I hear, whenever you do find it
it's been played so many times, it's so scratched up and worn out
'cause it's just... they're so good.
Arlo Guthrie. This record I got it 'cause, one, there's an 18-minute song on it. 'Alice's Restaurant.'
It's not really about Alice's Restaurant. And 'The Motorcycle Song' is good.
We had never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before
and with tears in our eyes we drove off, looking for another place to put the garbage.
I got this 'Double Barrel,' Dave and Ansel Collins.
Just one of my favorite songs, 'Double Barrel,' had to get it.
Y'know, I've been wanting this song on vinyl for a long time and there it was.
Also this was a big thing I liked when I was a kid. This album has the official soundtrack.
It has all the villains on the back.
That's a good one.
Thanks guys.
Thanks for having us.
