I feel like that's the pure Spirit of this series. The most interesting episodes are like this, and then when I listen to whomever is featured, I try to parse out the different influences, to see if I can hear em, and often, I can! It's fun for me, and also really drives home the point of all music being connected in one way or another, just like us as people!
AZ indie punk legends! Mark’s dad always used to swing by the local Zia Records I worked at whenever he could and talk shop about these guys and how proud he was of his son 🙏🏽 cool fellas and some rad picks, thanks guys!!
As a run of three consecutive albums, The Colour of Spring, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock must be one of the best in the history of rock and pop music. Still as fresh today as it was all those years ago.
That juxtaposition of Texas Chainsaw tshirt and the last two Talk Talk releases is delightful. Mark Hollis might have been tickled by it. RIP Mark. P.S. Play After The Flood on a rainy day and you'll feel harmony around.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's music and singing was incredible. He wasn't just 'holy' music though, he did Bollywood girl-meets-stuff as well as collaborating with Peter Gabriel, Eddie Vedder and was even remixed by Massive Attack. Incredible artist. And a good What's in my Bag!
That Branko Mataja record is insane. His story is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. I consider myself to have a profound Love for Music, and Guitar especially, but, to build your own, having never done it before, while imprisoned under unfathomably inhumane conditions is just astonishing. He created a unique and singular work of Art. It sounds like the whole album was recorded with a ring modulator, and feels like you're waltzing at the bottom of the ocean. I've never heard of these guys, but their varied tastes resonates a great deal with my own, and they articulate their experiences of the music in a detailed and relatable way. I'll be checking them out.
I'm a DJ at my college's radio station. Branko Mataja has become a sort of folk hero among a certain contingent of us. So glad seeing him get more attention.
Never thought I'd live to see the day someone talked about the Shahenshah, Nusrat fateh ali khan on WIMB! Still the unsurpassed king of Qawaali. Would love to get one of his records on Vinyl.
Love these guys. I've seen them a few times. I think they're one of the many, many bands that played the Alamo punk house in Minneapolis back in the day, too. Champipple tonight!
Saw AJJ back in 2009 at Dry River Collective, and again in 2011 at Toxic Ranch Records. At that first show, Sean's guitar pick fell inside his guitar so I gave him one out of my wallet. Great band, nice dudes.
1:47 he is right! mine is geogaddi :D edit: i knew this dude was gonna bring up the good stuff as soon as i saw that death shirt and he did not disappoint edit 2: i liked the variety everyone brought in general too
AJJ was more prominent in the blogosphere around the late 2000's early 2010's folk punk scene. Great stuff! Saw them open for a different band in 2010 having no idea who they were and was blown away!
I love this channel and Record Store. This dude is wearing a Fuckin DEATH shirt and he’s recommending ambient art music by Ross G. So many good recommendations on this channel.
The taller one with the bigger beard looks and sounds like Jim Henson. Was waiting for him to pull a muppet out of his bag. The other one wearing a DEATH shirt, doesn't buy anything evening REMOTELY close to rock music. Does he even listen to metal/Death Metal? Or was it just a cool looking shirt?
Remember when it was just the two dudes. People II the reckoning is one of my all time favorite songs.
Hate rain on me ❤
AJJ seem like really nice guys. It's always great when everyone has their own eclectic tastes like this.

I just saw them tn and they were amazing and they were super nice
yeh butt what about AJE?
Love the Jeff rosenstock shirt and they all had really interesting picks

I lived in Vegas for 11 years and moved back East a couple years ago. Whenever I see someone mention Zia, I am filled with warmth. I miss those stores
ajj is one of my all time favorite bands, & I’m so happy they’re finally on what’s in my bag!!!!!!!!!!
Can't go wrong with Laughing Stock by Talk Talk ! 👍
I love all their stuff, including Mark's amazing solo record.
As a run of three consecutive albums, The Colour of Spring, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock must be one of the best in the history of rock and pop music. Still as fresh today as it was all those years ago.

I’ve waited for this day for years!
Great seeing Jason Molina on here! The Magnolia Electric Co. by Songs: Ohia is one of my all-time favorite albums.
I adore this band. I saw them live 10 years ago but didn't realize how good of guys they were. What a treat.
They are incredible! I was at the Glasgow show they wound up releasing live. They kicked total ass
Love their eclectic picks! Love "What's in My Bag?" so much - it's a fantastic music education resource!
First time I saw Swans, Xiu Xiu's founder did an opening set of noise, just amazing and fried one of the monitors lol.
Thank you amoeba, this series really is great in so many ways. Great episode, as always
This was a fantastic session! Thanks AJJ for sharing your diverse tastes in music! Cheers Y'all
they're all wearing shirts of stuff i love... jeff rosenstock, death, texas chainsaw massacre, blue-brownish flannel
Death the band, or the concept?

People Who Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World and Knife Man are my fav albums by them.
@@barnziee Thanks for the recs, man. I just realized I was aware of them, under their old name.
@@dpclerks09 They just put out a new album too, Disposable Everything, and I like it quite a bit! It's really good!
@@squillz8310 Thank you for sharing! I'll check it out.
Croatian artist, thats very obscure.thanks 🎉

As soon as I saw the Jeff Rosenstock t-shirt, I knew these picks were gonna be fire. 😎❤️
Mentioning Talk Talk when talking about good music is always the right thing to do 😊👍.
Love seeing some appreciation for Kate Bush's Red shoes. So underrated!!
i adore these guys, im expecting their new record in the mail today and im sooo excited for it!🤠
theyre such a good band live
i love All Jism Jams!!
love these guys... i'm not surprised they have good picks!
Only ones I already knew were Talk Talk and Kate Bush. Can’t wait to check out all these other albums
That Branko Mataja record is so good!
I’d never heard if it and I just listened to it. It’s amazing. So many good choices on this episode. 👍🏽
Kate Bush and Talk Talk. Somebody has good taste.
my favorite band ever
Love these guys. I've seen them a few times. I think they're one of the many, many bands that played the Alamo punk house in Minneapolis back in the day, too. Champipple tonight!
Talk Talk, Boards of Canada AND Kate Bush? You guys have incredible taste
was NOT expecting the quirky folk punk band to pull out the fucking Laughing Stock
Haven't heard much of this band, but I would have never guessed I'd see homie in a Death shirt. Thumbs up for sure.
Saw them live in Australia supporting The Smith Street Band. Their stage presence and energy blew me away.
Please get Protomartyr on here!
Dang that's a good line up, those two together
The last two Talk Talk albums are criminally overlooked.
They’re top tier, but I’d argue that Colour of Spring is in that class too, one of my favourites of all time.
What sweet boys they are. All good picks
Great grabs!
Boards of Canada is a great choice!
Saw AJJ back in 2009 at Dry River Collective, and again in 2011 at Toxic Ranch Records. At that first show, Sean's guitar pick fell inside his guitar so I gave him one out of my wallet. Great band, nice dudes.
1:47 he is right! mine is geogaddi :D
edit: i knew this dude was gonna bring up the good stuff as soon as i saw that death shirt and he did not disappoint
edit 2: i liked the variety everyone brought in general too
Mine’s also geogaddi lol
Holy shit Ben looks like somebody's dad now lol, love to see that these guys all seem to be doing well.
I love AJJ so much.
So weird. I somehow just discovered Jason Molina the day before yesterday. Breathtaking stuff.
Ah, American Jiu-Jitsu- they’re like my Nusrat.
The Sasami album is top 3 album of 2022 imo.
Love the Death t-shirt, and the Boards of Canada
Favorite band of all time right here
Really????
Holy S*** I was listening to AJJ and reminiscing about them earlier today!😮
Great taste all around
saw them in Chicago a few years ago, just saw them again last night in STL... and they still got it!!! :)
Nice DEATH shirt Mark 🫡🤘
Thank you amoeba records for having this channel up and running
AJJ is dope
More like nope.
Great selections. Never heard of the band before.
AJJ was more prominent in the blogosphere around the late 2000's early 2010's folk punk scene. Great stuff!
Saw them open for a different band in 2010 having no idea who they were and was blown away!
They had a different name before (Andrew Jackson Jihad), but that was changed bc of reasons.
@@NoukSilver indeed! I was on the fence about using it hahah
@@alexanderperez5636 that late 00s- early 2010s blog era hits different. And that's for mostly every (sub) genre new or old.
"I think this album [Ignore Grief by Xiu Xiu] might be more modern classical kinda shit" oh boy, is he in for a real surprise...
It's cool to hear KXCI being mentioned. Tune your radio to 91.3 if you're in Tucson.
oh my GOD yes
And with a death band represented, i fuck with anyone who's got respect for chuck!
really good picks!!!
alive, bubbling with... vibes
Cool guys. Fine interesting choices. BOC is great stuff.
Some great picks there. Yeah man
Loving the Jeff rosenstock t shirt!!!
Ben showed me a lot of good music growing up.
branko mataja aloooooo
Great picks!
AJJ!
So awesome
Yay yippie yayyyyy!!! Finally
I love this channel and Record Store. This dude is wearing a Fuckin DEATH shirt and he’s recommending ambient art music by Ross G. So many good recommendations on this channel.
Jason Molina 🎉
great recs
From Kool Keith to Talk Talk....not bad at all....
I too have a wife who got me into the B52s 1st album😊
The No dreams Tee 🔥
RIP Ras G 🔥 💚
Edit: RIP JASON MOLINA 😭💔
That Jeff Rosenstock shirt too! :D
Hipsters.

Eclectic
great
Oh RAS!!
Dude's wearing a Death shirt but no love for OSDM?😪Great picks anyway!
I hope one day people will actually pronounce “Xiu xiu” correctly.
you should have AJR in the next video
Wooo!! Andrew Jackson Jihad!!!
Rip ras g
I preferred it when it was just one guy with a guitar called Andrew Jackson Jihad.
wait it’s Songs: “O-hee-a???”
Gosh…
Just got schooled. I always thought it was Songs: Ohio too.
Jason Molina 😪
666th Like, Sweet!
Fucc the devil
Welp, just learned I’ve been mispronouncing Songs: Ohia for 20 years.
It's pronounced oh high uh
Bring back Andrew Jackson jihad
Granted I'm not in much of a place to speak but I wonder if people found it that offensive and it's a WAAYY better name
white!
FWP
i will never not mix up ajj and ajr, which sucks because one band is awesome and the other is terrible.
Boards of Canada are so exhaustingly boring.
