What's in your bag, Creighton?
You want me to go first?
I'm really missing Les Savy Fav
Oh, did you get it?
No. Their first EP and I can't find it anywhere
but I found 'Let's Stay Friends' which is a great record
It is, indeed.
I'm gonna start with... this was like my favorite record
and I didn't actually get it for myself, I got for our friend Gabby
This is Ron Wood's first solo album, 'I've Got My Own Album To Do'
I guess this is right when he had joined Rolling Stones, something like that
He wasn't in the Faces anymore but, god
I don't think they can even list all the people that are on it, just due to legal reasons
but Rod Stewart's on it, Keith's on it
George Harrison's on there, Ringo plays some drums
Billy Preston's on there... Mac plays keyboards, Ian McLagan
R.I.P. from the Faces
But, yeah, this is a fantastic album that I think everyone should own.
This caught my eye.
I used to work in the chicken business with my dad and my brother.
and my mom worked there for a small amount of time too
and she would say that we have to put on the side of the chicken trucks:
'Poultry in Motion'
I thought that was pretty funny but my dad didn't go for it.
Anyway, this is called 'Poultry in Motion.'
by a guy named Hasil Adkins
The Chicken Collection 1955-1999
and he's eating chicken on the front
and he's devouring chicken on the back as well.
#1 is 'Chicken Walk,' 2 is 'Chicken Hearts,' 3 is 'Chicken Hop,' 4 is 'Chicken Run'
and 'Chicken Shake Blues,' 'Pick That Chicken,' 'Chicken Twist,' 'Chicken on the Bone,' 'Chicken Walk'
You'll like it.
Have you heard it?
I've heard him, he's really good.
Dude, I've never heard of him, but we'll see.
Well I got this hat too.
Don't know if y'll are gonna charge me for this or not, but, anyway...
I got a meditation book called 'Fuck That.'
Y'know, just stuff that you would read on the toilet.
Like this one says 'turn the page again'
I don't know, real thoughtful stuff
'Feel the horseshit of the external world fade from your awareness.'
The back of the book is just plain as day.
'Let this book help you find peace with the challenges that surround you
because they are fucking everywhere.'
The first thing I grabbed was
this Robbie Basho 'Twilight Peaks'
which I haven't heard but I've listened to Robbie Basho before
I'm a big fan of finger-style guitarists
and Amoeba always has a really cool selection that kind of sits over the top
I don't know who picks them all out but I'm always like, that looks great.
Terry Reid
Aw hell, Creighton.
Aw, no way.
I also got Terry Reid.
Yeah I had no idea this was even coming out at all, I hadn't even read anything
Yeah, it's expanded from that original one, so now there's some demos I think.
I can't wait, man.
This said 'Original Issue.' It's a David Crosby record
called 'If I Could Only Remember My Name'
We've all been there.
$6.99? That has to be a mistake. $6.99 just to look at the cover.
Have you not heard that yet?
I haven't heard this, no.
They had the Graham Nash/Crosby one too
but I was like, I gotta get this.
'Lemmy: White Line Fever.' Huge Lemmy fan.
I also got another bass player's book 'How to Be a Man'
So, 'How to Be a Man,' 'White Line Fever'
Big fan of Duff, I mean you can hear his bass on those records and it's awesome
Bill plays bass too.
I like bass players. So, yeah, that's all I got. I just got three.
Let's stay on the book theme.
I got 'The Record Store of the Mind' by Josh Rosenthal
who's a friend of mine, he runs Tompkins Square Records.
He's got fantastic taste, I think, in music and he finds a lot of
obscure finger-style guitar players and reissues a lot of stuff so
just interested to see what he's doing in his book here.
I got this awesome Otis Redding record
'It's Not Just Sentimental.' I don't know if this is a collection or what
but I've been spazzing on all the deep cuts of Otis' catalog
'I'm Coming Home' is my favorite song right now.
'Trick or Treat' is bad to the bone.
and 'Cupid.' 'Cupid's the damn shit.
Very glad to have this, the real deal in my hand now.
I just got to get it home safely.
I have a book.
What book did you get, Creighton?
'The Sounds of Two Eyes Opening' by Spot.
and it's a punk, y'know, SoCal anthology pretty much
but it's got early pics of Keith Morris and the Flag and stuff like that
skateboarding and surfing
I'm a dork for punk rock and skateboarding and surfing
they're three of my favorite things
so my kids will soon enough be old enough to start flipping through
a lot of very similar books
Yeah, yeah.
That's one of the stupid books dad has
Scary-ass punk rockers again, here we go.
I picked up a G.G. Allin and the Murder Junkies compact disc.
'Terror in America: Live in the USA 1993'
'Warning: contains offensive material not to be put in all hands.'
I would have to agree with that last little bit.
This is the first thing that caught my eye when I was downstairs
and I honestly look at live footage of G.G. on YouTube
just to kill time
It's seriously some entertaining stuff
Someone told me Eric Andre said that G.G. was his favorite stand-up comic in one these
The last bit I watched online there are three
segments of his last day
somebody followed him around after a show, he was just running around New York
and nobody'd get him...like he couldn't pick up a cab
no cab driver's are picking him up at all, his fans are following him down the street
He was just like, 'I just wanna go get high, everybody leave me alone!'
I think the least offensive song title here is
'Wendy and Tilla?'
'Be My Fuckin' Whore, Wendy & Tilla'
Yeah, this is live. Getting them in the studio would be hilarious.
And on the other end of the spectrum
'Ola Belle Reed & Southern Mountain Music On The Mason-Dixon Line' box set
I don't really know too much about Ola Belle Reed
There are a couple of radio shows where I live, in Asheville
that play a lot of this kind of stuff
and every time she comes on, I'm like, 'what is that?'
So that's it, that's my last thing in my bag.
Cool.
I pick up some DVDs too. I love
rock docs and all that kind of stuff, so I got
'End of the Century,' Ramones.
Y'know, the famous thing about the Ramones, is they would always stop and start
and have arguments on stage
John Cale, 'Fragments of a Rainy Season'
I have the disc, just the audio disc of it
but I didn't know it was filmed
and a couple Nick Cave ones: 'Live in London'
and '20,000 Days on Earth'
a great documentary that's just good cinema.
I get a huge amount of energy from
from picking out singular
people and terrifying them
This is 2008, so it's the 'Dig Lazarus Dig' record
some really good hits too
Stoked as hell. At least, before the show when you're
'I don't like performing' or whatever
'I don't wanna be in front of people' or whatever, watch this shit
'Alright, let's go kill somebody.'
We played in Bergen
it was Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in Bergen, Norway
and we played right before them, I think
and I've never seen anything like that, it was just...
the power emanating from that stage, it was just insane
goosebumps and fear
Hell yeah.
Unbelievable, man.
God and the devil and everything in between.
We also got to see him wearing a baseball hat
Yeah.
He was wearing a L.A. Dodgers hat
in the lobby, we were like, 'holy shit, someone get the camera'
Hell no. He'll bury you.
No, god no, he'll fuckin put that camera up your butt
Yeah, that's all that's in my bag.
Good job.
Back at ya.
Love you.
