FINNEAS - What's In My Bag?

[@whatimlisteningto3420]

Wasn’t completely into his solo album but I respect this guy immensely. He’s a Majorly talented producer and seems like pretty insightful.

[@enestahirovic3356]

You can see how his musical influences influenced Billy, in turn... Shows what a great brother he is, and how much he wanted her to succeed, and naturally put himself in the second place.

[@paulfear7860]

Some people don't want all that spotlight. It can certainly burn ya. Many would consider his position to be the advantageous one.

[@vvkouna]

so cool that the first album he showed was with the Spice Girls :D I really enjoy his selection overall and his reminder of the work that goes into making an album

[@hayleyhawkins]

Love finneas’s music, love finneas’s personality

[@maryhughes6372]

I freakin love that he got the Spice Girls album! No shame 🙌🏼

[@MsDaydream3r]

I'm an illustrator, so hearing Finneas give some love to cover artists made my day. 😊

[@SuperAdamh1]

Really enjoyable. Such an inquisitive artist. I'd like to hear his reactions to the things that he chose and how they impact the music he makes.

[@loulouwright9672]

I could listen to him speak forever

[@LAVISHING]

Love these artists/friends on these What’s In My Bag sections! Awesome to see my friend Finneas!

[@simonlillard7961]

This guy has one of the most calmly winsome vibes of anyone who’s ever been on this program.

[@brookebunn]

I loved that he got Patton’s album! This was awesome.

[@alexdaigoro]

that is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard a record store employee say. we are literally in the middle of a vinyl boom where artists like Taylor Swift, Adele, and Olivia Rodrigo have broken vinyl sale records. And, vinyl record sales have been the highest they’ve ever been in the last 3-4 decades.

[@BeansBeansBeans]

Yeah she's talking nonsense, weird for a record store employee not to know anything about the music industry right now?

[@user-ux1vj9vx7s]

Yeah, Songs that were recorded digitally pressed to wax.. makes sense. Totally not a waste of money what’s so ever.

[@abzster]

It seems Finneas was confused by her comment as well lol

[@joeboonmusic4004]

​@@user-ux1vj9vx7s Some people like to own a physical copy of an album that they can enjoy in their homes, whilst having the artwork to look at etc. Also, recording something digitally and then pressing it to vinyl is by no means a waste of money. I think it's nice, it means getting out of the playlist generation and giving people something tangible that they can listen to as the artist intended. I'm mixing something in the box right now, some of which was recorded digitally, some of which was recorded in the analogue domain... The masters are being pressed to vinyl and I guarantee you wouldn't be able to pick out which parts were recorded ITB vs analogue.

[@amazingabby25]

Even Cassette sales, highest since 1987! And I’m waiting 14 months right now to get my record pressed on vinyl, fourteen months!!!!!!! Because ALL the contemporary artists are doing it. In fact If she thinks artists haven’t it’s because they are waiting in line like me for a pressing!!!!!, the Backstreet Boys ffs are doing deep vinyl cuts, Paris Hilton, Hillary duff, everyone is cashing in

[@chelled.4622]

Waiting for this collab - I love that Finneas and Billie have such an appreciation for all music

[@dms5341]

that's so true what he's saying about streaming services not doing album art justice

[@HiFinnnn]

Imagine getting together 20 bucks to go and buy the new Finneas album at the record store and as you look for it, you see this casually happening 20ft away from you :)

[@zahrah5923]

I love Finneas. Thanks. I m shocked by the comments that his choices are not interesting or they are boring. Just hecause his taste is different than yours or you do not like his music, it does not mean that he is not good. At least respect him!!

[@user-ux1vj9vx7s]

Nobody has to respect anyone’s music taste, especially on the internet. Don’t be silly, and you know it’s just like their opinion, right? So, What does it matter

[@zahrah5923]

@B Yes people have their opinions and music tastes. That is for sure. But you dont call someone else interests or tastes boring or uninteresting just because they disagree or just because they have different tastes.

@@user-ux1vj9vx7s nobody has to do anything, that doesn’t mean you should or shouldn’t do something. but you’re right, people will run their mouth all day long and it doesn’t change anything or diminish anyone else’s experience or life. so it doesn’t matter, but to some people it still might.

[@JacobW567]

Yessss!!!! the Spice Girls!!!!! Love it

[@davidkrepps3747]

I love the specialness of these records when you get them in hand and to appreciate the art as a whole beyond the pressings.

[@amandacanny]

feeling confused about what's "boring" about his picks. nothing boring about Shirley Bassey, Spice Girls, Dionne Warwick, and Bill Withers!

[@drssexy2142]

Yeah but, no metal whatsoever?

[@malcolmadams2105]

Nice choices. Shirley Bassey. The best bong songs.

[@jackharris2759]

I mean this in the most wholesome way possible. FINNEAS definitely goes hiking with a camel back and L.L. Bean boots.

[@iammikevaldes]

Such a cool video. Love Finneas’ appreciation for comedy & especially Patton Oswalt. Great choice!

[@Kevin5262]

Finneas did what I would do if I was on this show, mainly grab stuff from artists I kinda know about so I could learn more about them.

[@timotheusn.h.nakashona1001]

This kid has impeccable taste.

[@jamesrobinson1844]

didnt bill withers only release two albums!? crazy to think how influential he was given how much he released

[@xyzcomp08]

Bill Withers worked a good portion of his life building jet aircraft on the McDonnell-Douglas assembly line, even when his music was doing well, he worked at that job for a while. Interesting dude!

[@dayshawna]

music snobs in the comments are always looking for obscurity in an artist music collection. you people are truly so annoying with that, not everyone is going to pull out an artist who made one album from 1972 that you think is the pinnacle of music.

[@randallerkelens3233]

Agree. Elite vinyl snobs. Ohh.. You're not cool enough because you're selections were too mainstream! Who cares? That record isn't rare enough! Humans!

[@nuit1238]

I get that he's a pop musician and likes pop music, and it's not like he chose BAD stuff... he just gives the impression that he he's never bothered to do any more than scratch the surface in his listening. And of course that comes off weirdly for someone who's made their whole life about music.

[@1998Cebola]

@HeHateMe I'm sorry to break this to you like this but you don't know how to read

[@guywalker29]

Putting on a record and seeing where the music is on the disc. Putting on a record has a feel. It is fine if it sits on a shelf and it has a spine, but if it is inside somewhere I cannot see, then it ain't for me.

[@mmumambientsounds-timers]

He needs to check out the charity shops round my way, I’ve seen three of these records, costing less than £5 each. Could get himself some bargains!

[@geetarbube]

Isn’t just about EVERYONE putting out vinyl copies of their releases these days? I was confused by the employee’s remark.

I’d love to spend an afternoon sharing records, EPs, 45s, cassettes, etc, in our collection with each other, bet he would introduce me to great stuff, and he would introduce me to amazing things I didn’t know, and I’m sure I’d have things, I have some unique things, that he’d find cool.

[@greenalishi222]

Spice Girls are todays template. Country, hip hop, pop, R n B. He picked perfectly to reflect todays synthesized blandness.

[@joeboonmusic4004]

There's plenty of non-bland stuff out there... With KZbin, Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music etc at your fingertips, I'm surprised you still manage to think that. I'll happily give you a list of 30 artists/bands off the top of my head that aren't 'synthesised blandness'... Unless of course you're only talking about chart-pop.

I suspect Finneas and I would get along really well, these records are all my jam, as strange as it is. I wouldn't mind collaborating one day. On another note, I saw Nancy Sinatra perform at Amoeba back a few years ago, she wore one of her original Mod dresses for the show!, Mr. Blackwell even showed up, now that's Hollywood!

[@Usiris23]

Exact same way I listen to vinyl and find new artist/music

[@norakaulhoelgaard5762]

Why are people saying these are boring choices?? I love the diversity of his picks and such great artists

[@1998Cebola]

Watch some other episodes from the channel and you'll see why

[@1998Cebola]

Three examples of really great ones are Jason Mantzoukas, Clipping and Liturgy, although there are countless other great ones.

[@user-ux1vj9vx7s]

Probably because your taste in music is just as wack as his.

[@dublplus]

Couldnt be more bored at what he pulled out of his bag. But to each their own. Dude knows his craft.

[@MathTravels]

Yes, don't want to sound negative, most of this stuff is not interesting to me.

[@joeboonmusic4004]

Me neither... Was hoping for something a bit more unique/refreshing/new but half the time artists on this show just whip out the same old Soul/R&B singers.

[@hannahmackenzie9457]

[@forbin147]

This explains a lot.

[@margaritakmp]

I wanted to hear soooo much more of what he had to about Revolver!!! Or every Beatles album, really

[@karmachochi]

Basically he said that Revolver speaks for itself, which gives you a pretty fair idea that he holds it in high esteem. It's a seminal album. His less obvious choices are in some ways more interesting - like the Bill Withers compilation. He's clearly got a very open mind about musical influences!

@@davidellis5141 If you found my comment unpleasant then it doesn't take a lot. I just asked a question, since a lot of the comments in these Amoeba videos have unfortunately been quite judgemental in judging the people showing of some of their musical taste. Especially in the past. Your comment didn't read as anything different to me. If me questioning that because I read your original comment another way than what you maybe intended, which I still don't buy btw, because your comment seems to have to have some frail unpleasant snark to it about FINNEAS musical taste, and immediately makes you jumps to words such as unpleasant, disdain (for a person you've never met) and trolling says to me that you might be a very quick to jump to conclusions about other people you have never met. And further more your reaction just tells me that you didn't like that I confronted your shitty hollow snarky comment and now you try to save it all with the final "I respect that" part. Don't buy it.

I appreciate Finneas so much but I have to disagree on his opinion on going to record stores and not purchasing records you are already familiar with. There’s classic records that I’ve bought where I’m always learning something new no matter how many times I may have already listened to that record. Just because the average person doesn’t produce music doesn’t mean they’re not paying attention to the music they’re listening to. My point is you don’t need to simply buy records you aren’t familiar with. The music you already know can constantly teach you something new in ADDITION to constantly exploring new music.
