Fontaines D.C. - What's In My Bag?

[@jeffg1524]

Unable to communicate how much I LOVE these videos. They've turned me on to so much great music over the years. I'm a 64 yr-old music collector that's accumulated over 2500 LPs, 4000 CDs, and assorted cassettes, 45rpm singles since I first started collecting in 1980. Have everything from Mozart to 1920's Duke Ellington to Sinatra to Chuck Berry to The Sex Pistols to Nigerian folk songs to something new I just heard yesterday, Charli XCX's new album Brat (love the single "360"). But there's ALWAYS new stuff to hear and appreciate, which for a music lover is both a gift and a curse, because you never get caught up.

[@pauldechering7236]

Saw them for the third time within 3 months two days ago. They are the best band in the world right now and class lads on top of that. Go and see them live if you ever get the chance.

[@joelbrandenburg6746]

Yeah, agreed. My first time seeing them, they were on a bill with Idles. This was several years ago. That is about as epic a lineup as you're going to see right there.

[@lennon1482]

best band in the world? calm down son

[@sammytheoriginal9]

Agreed. Currently making music, best band in the world at the moment.

[@pauldechering7236]

@@lennon1482 it's called music taste my friend, and the best thing about it is that everybody is free to have an own opinion about it

[@tonilehmann3381]

They are good, but the best noiserock/postpunk band of our times are Die Nerven. English speaking people are just not listening, because they don't sing in english... it's simple as that

[@kappiiee]

Jonathan Byers has a great music taste.

[@csblack72780]

3 superb albums in 3 years. Well done fellas! Thanks for creating some amazing music and sharing it with the world. Solid fuckin' choices too: Cowboy Junkies, Marty Robbins, NIN, Pixies; all superb choices.

Seeing them in oct in pittsburgh, Im SO excited. Did they play any stuff from their last two albums by any chance? (Skinty might be my new favorite though, each album seems to get better and be more diverse)

[@lesliea.5197]

@@organizedmessoffical3838 yeah! They played televised mind, lucid dream, boys in the better land, a hero’s death etc.and their set wasn’t even that long because it was at a festival so if you see them in concert I’m sure they’ll play more songs other than the ones on skinty x

[@corycastleman6351]

Only other live album that comes close is Ray Charles 'Live' album

[@Arc-bc8jj]

Really cool pickups and choices from these guys, get excited whenever I see Cowboy Junkies or Marty Robbins brought up. Beach Boys and Little Simz also great choices. Definitely gonna have to give these guys a listen. Nobody talks about Townes Van Zant either, another really cool reference.

[@filled_soda]

I'm only on Marty Robbins so far. Good to hear the Beach Boys get a mention. I love Townes too

[@bernardin5947]

I bought Cowboy Junkies when it came out and had high expectations of them. A year later I weent to see them at the Royal Albert Hall and they'd turned into the kind of band my conservative parents would like. Townes van Zandt is one of the few country singers who has any depth. The boys should really listen to the band WIRE.

@ superdeluxesmell Because Canada has a lot of artists who are rightly celebrated here but are virtually unknown anywhere else. I’d be just as surprised if someone pulled out a Tragically Hip record at Amoeba but they are a cultural phenomenon. This is more like seeing someone pull out a Lowest of the Low record
