Tejada is a techno tank. Reggie is the alt-comedy golden child. The most unexpected and underrated duo ever.

[@mrpandabites]

Every time I see Reggie Watts I love him more and more. Dude is a modern genius with superb taste in music.

[@pabloslamdotcom3655]

I't so inspiring to see a man like Reggie, paying tribute to bands that has nothing to do with each other, I never thought a guy like him would appreciate that Ministry album for example. big respect for him!

[@tonyhall3365]

that was amazing what Reggie said about Soundgarden & Nirvana. And tragically true what he said about we''ll never see the likes of that again

[@valeskacanas9187]

Love how Reggie describes/talks about Soundgarden. Great picks from these guys.

[@mola55e5]

Lifeforms was a huge part of the soundtrack of my teens. Definitely explored some fantastic worlds listening to that one. The 90s weren’t nearly as bad as many people say.

[@tea6458]

ahhh im so glad reggie like soundgarden and nirvana thats awesome and bjork too damn knew i liked him for a reason

[@boslife609]

And Ministry!!

[@nathanielparry7365]

Parking next to a grain elevator, drinking Robatussin and listening to the Smiths is the most Montana thing ever.

[@ChoctawNawtic4]

Damn, I think this is the best one I've seen...both of them picked interesting ass music!! Esp Reggie, the more I learn about him, the kooler he is!

[@darkcnotion]

Thank you Amoeba!!! Love Reggie

[@HankKill93]

3:49 2 Montana 2 Furious

[@JoeLaFon3]

Reggie's love for punk rock gives me goosebumps!

[@mrembe9]

I love Reggie! His taste in music...love

[@NellieKAdaba]

Iove him too.

[@patcupo]

Love that Jan Jelinek album

[@newsoundsandold]

Excellent choices from both gentlemen. Reggie Watts is a straight up genius!

[@jupitermoongauge4055]

Reggie is such a great musician that his vocal drumming fits fucking perfectly with the track he is describing. Unbelievable

[@timwhelan4432]

That was my first and still my favourite Cannonball record - love it

[@bernardwallace435]

Tejada surprised me with that main source repress... That album changed hiphop(as a whole) when it came out....definitely a highly respected classic in the true hiphop head community.

[@chairwomantoast]

SARAH VAUGHAN!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MENTION HER

[@djclass005]

Reggie is so cool and well spoken! really interesting to hear him tell about those records!

[@GrungeRockGod]

reggie is doooooooooope

[@skystudios2474]

6:32 is such a perfect impression of Einar from The Sugarcubes.

[@MrFeyerwire]

I love when a majority of the albums they have, are my all time favs. Yes, the abstract mind space is important !!!

[@doomwaves]

Great picks! Lot to digest. Not the least of which is Wajatta themselves!! Really great record!! 'Make some sense' is a freakin JAM!

[@MrMetalhead6]

I had a feeling Reggie liked heavy stuff too. Interesting picks. Back when Ministry was decent.

[@coffeecheetoschicken8569]

Ameoba, it’s about damn time!

[@montanezonemusic]

Best show on KZbin? Maybe. This is a great episode!

[@sammy9817]

Neon Indian is flipping amazing:D and i will watch out their other picks

[@Sektion9]

Great picks by both guys. FSOL is underrated af, Dead Cities is one of my all time favourite albums. Neon Indian is excellent as well.

[@CopeLtda2]

Sweet taste from a true LA underdog: Mr. John Tejada.

[@mnchls]

I knew I could count on him to rep some true electronic music: Jelinek/Farben, FSOL, DJ Pierre/Phortune, Plaid. Damn fuckin straight. Reggie has great picks too, and it's obvious that every choice held significance for him in his personal life and musical journey. It's also the most candid and non-comedic I've ever seen him. Thanks for posting, Amoeba! Easily one of my favorite entries in this series in years and years!

[@Estrelladosmusic]

John Tejada always been a killer

[@chrishayes4053]

Wow! main source,future sound of London will check out these guys great taste.

[@ryanboyce3365]

Badmotorfinger changed my life as well. Matt Cameron is a real treasure:)

[@elimphead]

I love you amoeba for doing this

[@amoeba]

Hey thanks! We love both these guys and have wanted them on the show for some time. It was lucky they were working together and had some time for us.

[@jimmydroid7838]

Very interesting indeed. Thumbs up.

[@PolicemanPlanet]

didn't know Reggie was doin' some new shit Thanks, Amoeba!

[@jimatron369]

Fascinating

[@Demention94]

Both great tastes

[@timwhelan4432]

Ahhhhhhhh love that Smiths album - have it on a purplygrey German eighties pressing- Listening to Pixies RN - so many good things

[@aaronnope5987]

FSOL choices on Lifeforms ... top taste man :) Dead Cities and ISDN also awesome.

[@hashtagdag]

Fuck yes, Ministry and Soundgarden!!!

[@birth0fserpents]

that Smiths recommendation did not go where i thought it would

[@Nosh_Feratu]

Reggie is right, Strangeways is their masterpiece. Good man Reggie!

[@matycee]

I love that FSOL record! I really thought The Isness was pretty great too... such a departure but quite a great ride

[@somethingyettocome]

Cool guys, interesting speech...

[@exactlywhatisaid]

that jan jelinek album is really good. its on his bandcamp fyi

[@flyingface]

love Reggie Watts

[@troyspartan992]

Quality 👌

[@pooscootedpaper]

MINISTRY

[@Pippy187]

Ministry, woooo!

[@Cuishi10]

Wajatta be making some sweet ass music!

[@reganthaw9906]

Reggie, yes!

[@dhollsynthmusic]

Louder than Love has a couple of Soundgarden's greatest songs: Gun, Kev's Mom & No Wrong No Right. But as an album Ultramegaok flows best for me.

[@andygtmo]

Oh man! I totally agree about Stangeways being the best Smiths record!

[@titot7501]

I wasnt surprised reggie had ministry in there cause they rule!

[@SebastianTinajero]

Neón Indian is pretty Spicy

[@sammy9817]

Sebastian Tinajero hell yeah !!!!

[@tommyswain3762]

The guy from Neon Indian tried to steal my girl one time. I have had mixed feelings ever since.

[@r.m.4228]

Yo baby yo baby yo!

[@TSAlpha2933]

Holy fuck all these "strange" things I grew up listening to, never knowing more than maybe 1 other person who also knew of them (Black Dog, etc.) and both of these guys are just listing off my adolescence and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

[@tanyab7034]

Main source !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@barrettfenton6507]

74 Miles Away

[@startervisions]

That Sugarcubes stuff did fucking sound like the Pixies! hahaha

[@vicaldama9314]

That 1st Soundgarden is the best Soundgarden album IMO!

[@darrenreid5409]

Good for you

[@geronimo8159]

Alright, tejada likes Jan Jelinek, I should give him a shot 🙂

[@boidinktwistie4389]

how weird is it to hear that reggie watts was into DXM?

[@trampy6936]

I fuckin knew Reggie was Bjork fan just from listening to him

[@alelollipop1903]

Love Reggie but he forgot to mention the whole early ‘00 post punk revival thing... that is still inspiring a lot of people to even pick up instruments 🎹

[@JohmathanBSwift]

I like June Christy . l enjoy Sarah Vaughan too, I just like June Christy better for some reason . You gotta be kidding . I am listening to Somethin Else by Cannoball Adderley right now . _June's_ *_Something Cool_* , _Adderlry's_ *_Somethin Else_* . *Something huh* . _he he_ . Going to see The Pixies, Weezer and The Wombats in July. Seen Ministry at Lalalalalapaoalaoaoazaa , ohh a long time ago Great stuff here. Thanks Amoeba

[@ChoctawNawtic4]

#soundgarden

[@karstenvonfjellheim5321]

Damn, I forgot about your show last night, in Oslo. They don't really promote or remind people. I'll catch you next time Reggie.

[@JoeLaFon3]

Ok. Reggie is cool as fuck

[@petrussteele9837]

MINISTRY 👍

[@tuckerelkins2798]

"gigantic was a huge one for me"

[@ryneallen4014]

[@rafaelcobos5074]

I’d like a what’s in my bag with cuco

[@anodyneinstitute]

*We know a few good grain silos.*

[@bengalidoom7626]

9:20 what does john say? I shouldve found a "?" record

[@lgonzales8307]

Possibly Brinkmann (as in Thomas Brinkmann, minimal electronic artist)

[@lysergicserpent7676]

Yo, FSOL repreSENT! ... mah duuuuuude

[@minotaurmangum7911]

That Cannonball Adderly record is tits.

[@lilclout7958]

I bet Reggie watts likes death grips since he likes electronic based stuff

[@jayblummer146]

yopp

[@J4KETS]

Now take out your pens and paper class

[@cademeucigarro4063]

[@lukess.s]

He looks so much like Brett Gelman it's uncomfortable.

[@ertertwert1]

[@IRatatatI]

[@amoeba]

It was "Lifeforms" by The Future Sound Of London. www.amoeba.com/lifeforms-lp-the-future-sound-of-london/albums/4007893/

[@xtianor]

10:17 kind of controversial statement

[@longlivetheclash]

[@grahamkristensen9301]

[@Huguirur]

[@freelywheely]

Courtney killed Kurt

[@g.rathbone764]

Comment on this post to comment on this post

[@leosantini6162]

ha!

[@JohnnyWrong]

If you think that rock and roll hasn't been "dangerous" since Kurt died, you're just out of touch.

[@andressaldivar6669]

disgraceland uk who would you say has lived up to that? I think he meant culturally speaking. Within the radio and mainstream, I don’t think there has. Where the movement is so strong and loud, it seeps over other genres.

[@dstroh22]

a statement like that with no answer is just lame

[@JohnnyWrong]

Ha ha ha. I'm not doing your homework for you, son. If you're too lazy to go looking then you deserve to be out of the loop. And there was no "movement". What you're really remembering is the media fixating on on what they termed "grunge" in order to shift their lame magazines. Most of the bands who were referred to as such hated the term, as it was used so broadly it didn't really mean anything. It was a brief moment in time when a handful of decent artists found themselves in the mainstream limelight. That really has no bearing on their quality, or on the quality of what has come since. Any real music fan knows this. If you love music, you'll always dig further than what's served up to you on a platter.

[@dstroh22]

disgraceland uk 🛑.. the 'i know more than you argument' is silly.. you had an opinion n i asked u to back it up n now i gotta listen to this crap. no thanks. you win your music is better than mine n i'm a lemming that only follows the crowd. BTW.. i'm 55 n from Seattle n saw it all happen. i didn't go buy ripped jeans n a flannel shirt.. i already had em n if the outside media had no bearing on the quality of the music then why bring it up. I'm not trying to place myself in the middle of the 'scene' i just know i liked seein a lot of those bands. Still don't know what you consider dangerous. Long live justin bieber.

[@JohnnyWrong]

Whatever you say. Very little of the important stuff happened in Seattle anyway. Again...mainstream media spin. ;) Enjoy your Bieber.

[@startervisions]

Kurt Cobain committing suicide still does not make sense to me, Bourdain neither...who next Iggy Pop yeah right lol It's so damn unfortunate

[@patch406]

“Racing Jetters”. Classic Great Falls.

[@patch406]

Nice ROBO shout out too.
