Hey I'm Dan Auerbach.
I'm Nick Movshon.
I'm Richard Swift.
I'm Homer Steinweiss.
I'm Leon Michaels from The Arcs and this is What's in My Bag.
I got this Cannonball Adderley record.
I've got a couple of 45s that he did on the West Coast, and they're awesome.
They were produced by David Axelrod but I don't think this was.
Oh, yeah it was arranged by David Axelrod.
Anyhow, this album, he was inspired by a trip to Brazil
so the stuff that I heard from it sounds very Brazilian
but you can tell it's not Brazilian, which I like.
I kind of just stuck in the world music section
so this is Juaneco Y Su Combo
This is a cool Cumbia band that I've discovered.
What is it about Cumbia that you like?
Just, y'know, the rhythms, polyrhythms, counter rhythms, call-and-response rhythms
I'm a drummer so I really like rhythm.
What've we got?
Keith Hudson, 'Entering The Dragon'
That's pretty much a perfect record cover.
It doesn't get better than that.
This song 'Man From Shooters Hill' is one of my faves
so I'm sure the rest of the album's good. And it's a cover of
Hugh Masekela's 'Riot'
and it's probably better than the original.
This is a Chico Hamilton record. I have no idea, I've never heard it.
but Chico Hamilton was a really badass drummer who often kind of
had a lot of cool Latin and funky stuff in his music before it sort of became regular parlance
so I'm hoping this is...
Do you know this record? Do either of you guys know this record?
but I bet it's pretty dope, it's from '63. Chico is the man.
I got this record, this is one of my favorite gospel records of all time. The Art Reynolds Singers
I had it in stereo, it says it's in mono
I don't really care about that but
I was kind of thinking that I could trade Leon for something
Yeah it's true.
So I'm gonna get this and use it as bait
to get something better off of Leon.
essentially get a record for free from Leon.
What does that say?
I don't know, it says Electric Phin Band. Khun Narin.
Is this that band that we wanted to open up for us?
Yeah.
So I guess Innovative Leisure put this out
and Dan has shown me some clips of this band, I saw those and was like, I gotta check that out
and I think it's a Thai band that makes their own instruments.
Yeah they make their own instruments and they play out of that sound system.
That's their sounds system. Their guitar player plugs into it.
That's fucking insane.
and there are like twelve people, everybody kind of plays one drum
this guy plays a three-string electric guitar through a bunch of delays and it's really cool.
For some reason it was difficult to get twelve people from Thailand
From Bangkok to here.
to open for us for nothing.
I got a grip of Hayao Miyazaki films
because I'm sick of my stupid little daughters talking about how
'Spirited Away' is skipping. You have no idea.
and then there's also this Hayao Miyazaki series, never even heard of it
26 episodes. 'Sherlock Hound.' Clever.
'Totoro,' come on. 'Nausicaa,' this is my personal fave.
What is it that you like about that one?
Just strong woman.
I don't know. It's kind of violent too.
a lot of dismemberment for a kids movie
never even seen this one 'Castle of Cagliostro'
It's gonna be good.
Mom, Dad, c'mon quit eating. Let's get out of here.
Oh I got this, 'Five Minutes to Midnight'
this came out on Mississippi Records, they're in Portland.
Everything that Mississippi Records does is great
so whenever I see something that I don't have from them, I try to buy it.
They just put out a lot of gospel and
and old folk and blues comps.
I gotta get hip to that.
They're really amazing.
One of the greatest jazz records ever made.
'The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady,' Charles Mingus, which is like this crazy
song cycle that he composed for a ballet
which is really, really weird sophisticated suite-based composition with tons of weird studio editing tricks.
There's a flamenco guitar section edited into it.
there's a ton of weird shit on this record
but I have never owned it on vinyl, and I saw it and I was psyched, so I grabbed it.
This one is a little bit of a wildcard. It's $4.99
'Joe Tex Sings with Strings and Things' which could be a bad thing
but it's from 1970, pretty safe year for soul
'Daddy's Got A Bad Back'
'My Wife, My Woman.'
and then a cover of 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home.'
Produced by Buddy Killen, so let's see what happens with that.
Alright, another Thai record.
I don't know how to say her name but it says Phairin Phonphibun
right there, you can zoom in, I'll hold it real still
it's dope, I kind of googled it and listened to it because I was like I don't know what the fuck this is, but
I've been into Thai records as well lately I had this compilation called 'Sound of Siam'
and I've just been listening to it non-stop
Siam.
It's his ringtone too, 'Sound of Siam'
This I'm really excited about, this is Link Wray, who's the most badass guitar player ever, this is
rare demos and alternate takes, so there's alternate takes of 'Rumble' on here and stuff, so
I'm not sure if this necessarily...
The guy who invented rock n' roll.
who's not in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
Is that true? That he invented rock n' roll?
Pretty much.
and I'm not sure if that warranted a vinyl purchase but I saw it and I couldn't put it down
I'm sure it's gonna be super badass.
Alternate take of 'Slinky'
Right, I mean, come on.
'Slinky' alternate take, 'Radar' alternate take, I mean that looks pretty cool.
Speaking of Link Wray, who was Native American
This is a Native American, basically, a rock and roll comp that was just put out.
Y'know the rock n' roll beat is the Native American beat, they invented the rock n' roll beat.
I'm just kinda psyched to get into this and learn a little bit more about
Native American rock n' roll.
Look at this thing. 'Watchmen.'
My favorite comic book and my favorite comic book movie.
Look at this packaging, I mean give me a break. Rorschach mask.
People talking a lot of mad shit on Zack Snyder because of
Superman v. Batman. Haven't seen it yet but I know it's gonna be good.
Fuck the haters.
I got this Love Joys 'Showcase Lovers Rock.' This is on Whackies.
Last time I was in New York City I went to Deadly Dragon, the reggae 45 shop.
and I got a few Whackies releases and they were all awesome
they're 80s releases but
with Jamaican records, 80s... it doesn't really matter
you can't really hear it and put your finger on when it was recorded sometimes because
It's because they were using the same rhythm tracks from 1968.
Yeah, it was just really weird.
Anyways, it's just really good and I don't really know this record so
I can't wait to give it a spin.
This is Blowfly, Clarence Reid, just died
and I only have one other record which is hard to get through
but I thought I'd buy it just because he died and
Clarence Reid is the man, and produced a lot of old soul records.
This is what, in the obituary, everyone's talking about but prior he did a lot of good things.
This is a compilation of
expat Trinidadians and Jamaicans who were living in London in the 50s
so this is basically expat calypso
and I own some of the earlier...
this is the fourth one, I own the first and second ones and they're just fucking awesome
they're weird, y'know, topical songs about living in England in the 50s
but it's Calypso and I really enjoy that
so that hopefully is pretty cool.
I don't know what this is, two bucks, The Korean Children's Choir.
Oh you bought that one? I was looking at that.
It just looks cool, I don't know, I just wanna check it out, maybe
Wow.
use it for peaceful inspiration. Pretty cool. That's what's in my bag.
And then I've got a bunch of alternates that
I don't know, they could really suck.
Well, this Reverend Oris Mays
I heard some clips on YouTube but I couldn't tell if they were terrible or not
I couldn't really hear it over the speakers and I was just hearing background singing
it was kind of interesting. I don't know, I was gonna give it a shot.
I'm sorry I just have some really funny records in here.
That might not be so good.
I don't know, I mean it was in the Cumbia section, there's only like 8 records in that section
so I was like, this one looks like fun.
Wow.
I can't compete. I can't compoete with that.
Thank you guys, we appreciate it.
Thank you.
Yeah, thank you guys.
