Outstanding!! Now that was incredibly refreshing and highly enjoyable, definitely one of my favorite W.I.M.B. episodes. Brian is a true music lover, incredibly knowledgeable, NOT pretentious, has exceptionally great and varied taste and most importantly, just good people... I just love his passion! And clearly it was a really good day for digging, a lot of gems in that "bag".. many of my faves and some things I still have yet to add to my collection.
Great edition of What's In My Bag! I had the privilege of seeing Kid back in the day during his second tour of duty with The Gun Club, and also with the Pink Monkey Birds in September 2014--both fine shows. It doesn't surprise me that he has good musical taste as well.
What a total sluice box of great sounds to comb and sift many faceted gems from! Such a wealth of info and influence Kid has blessed us all with today, or what ever lucky day it is you see this.
I met Kid at a tiny music festival and even got the chance to talk to him for a few minutes. And, man, he's the nicest guy in the world and a true gentleman. While I was completely starstruck, trying to express to him how much I admired him and how much his music meant to me, he just standed there, patient as a monk and cool af, with a genuine smile across his face, holding and shaking my hands, giving all his attention to me and thanking me while I vented all my gibberish. God bless him. He really couldn't be sweeter nor more distinguished. I just wish I said something smarter 😂
Kid Congo inspired many Mexicans in my neighborhood to play guitar. The guys from Voodoo Glow Skulls will tell you about how Kid Congo changed their lives.
..Brian seems like a happy go lucky kinda dude, who knows his music quite well, the stuff he listens to is very eclectic..I think he's a romantic..I'm just now getting into the back story of him, and his other bands that he's played with..I knew he played with the Cramps, after Brian Gregory left..
This is definitely one of my favorites! I have the Record Store Day 7" of Goblin's Suspiria, but am jealous of the Deep Red(Profondo Rosso) copy he got (even though I have the Waxworks soundtrack). He grabbed a ton of cool stuff and showed me 2 new bands I really dig! More people like this guy!
I love this Swans album! So underrated ... one of the best bands ever! The last incarnation is one of the greatest things in the history of modern music!
Dear Kid Congo Powers, we all fucking love you :D ohh and don't be jealous, Amoeba ! haha we love you too :D thanks for keeping it underground with bands that deserve the recognition, fuck what's in Adele's bag !
My friend has a lot of LP's of Nikki Sudden + the green one with Rowland S. Howard. That's how I got to know Howard a bit more and checked out the Birthday Party (with Nick Cave.) Great band!
Kid Congo is such a legend !!!!! Imagine playing in the bad seeds and the gun club !!!! What an absolute dude . I’d love to go see him DJ . He’s tastes are so eclectic !!!
@@Sweetheart_of_the_rodeo Oh dear that was a terrible slip up …. You’re absolutely correct he also played in the cramps !!! What a wonderful musician!!!! Thank you so much for not letting that other insanely beautiful fact slip past me and boosting his credentials ten fold …. Wow !!! What an amazing human being and life !!! 🙏✌️👍
I'm fascinated by other people's taste in music...I don't like most of their picks, but still fascinated. respect for the Billy Childish - Buff Medways single.
~ What a great channel this is ~!! Thoroughly enjoy Kids selections. I have been delving into my own vinyl collection more recently and find these vids quite entertaining... ~!
was listening tv personalities magnificent dream when the algorithm pointed this at me..damn its good, because Nikki Sudden was in swell maps with Jowe head, who went on to join tv personlities..god its all connected.....
If the only thing in his bag was that Rowland S Howard and Nikki Sudden record, this would still be one of the best episodes of WIMB!
What an amazing pedigree this gentleman has, Cramps, Gun Club, Nick Cave and many more.
This guy is a legend AND he's cool af
Totally.
Facts!!!
Kid Congo gots great taste 😎👍
Considering he played guitar on that track, he'd better!
Never new Kid Congo was so excellently camp. What a fuckin man
What are we going to do when guys like this aren’t around anymore? Such an original.
We'll still have Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Drake /s
@@foljs5858 And EMINEM!! #TRUEandREAL
Got to be the best episode of what’s in my bag, Ever.
I love you Kid. Don't ever leave us!! Thanks for the JLP tip on the Sudden release
Brian is an old, old friend from LA punk, I'm so glad to see him on Amoeba.

Already figured he had impeccable taste. Awesome episode! 🖤
I'm fascinated by other people's taste in music...I don't like most of their picks, but still fascinated. respect for the Billy Childish - Buff Medways single.
Big fan of the cramps and nick cave and the bad seeds
Great bloke - and a genuinely informative episode of WIMB. I learned from this.
Another very cool visit to Amoeba...
I just found this Kid Congo youtube thang..kewl!!!

Great episode - he's a lovely chap, Kid
unsurprisingly exquisite taste. cool burroughs t-shirt too
Fantastic choices!
I thought he would be this cooler than thou type but what a lovely person!
He reminds me of a subdued John Waters and all of his choices are very good as well
Just saw him at the Echo. Great show!
This was great!!!
He is so cool!
I love the fact that he used to be in a band with Nick Cave. It's like the set-up for a sitcom.
I love that he ended with the late, great, Dusty Springfield.
Such a sweetheart

Great choices!
