[@OLink9]

hi cool avatar

[@clapadamclap]

Olink nice to meet a fellow fan!

[@sqwee14]

"Well, might as well get in the truck and ride around." I cracked up at that part XD

[@mysticfellow9843]

I wanna buy this guy coffee and talk about music for hours upon hours.

[@patrick4833]

Coolest of the prominent indie frontmen tbh

[@33tomification33]

Bradford seems like such a cool guy.

[@balmydaygirl]

God I absolutely adore him

[@rockypc24]

Mricocastle/Weird era continued blows me away every time.

[@juliettebarasch6180]

"This is obviously the most valuable four or five inches of vinyl in this store." *Throws record off to the side* I love you, Bradford.

[@edragtnavafreeartistandpho6670]

Love how Bradford got so excited about the music catalog and to learn about his discovery of Pere Ubu. Love this concept. Thank you Amoeba! I've been watching this series for years.

[@amoeba]

Ed Ragtnava Free Artist and Photographer Thanks for watching!

[@edragtnavafreeartistandpho6670]

When I'm in Amoeba...I feel like it's almost the closest thing to heaven. You're welcome but I should be thanking you!!! Peace.

[@cyrusbudatfletchergateart3569]

+Ed Ragtnava Free Artist and Photographer Pere Ubu? It's an old indie band...Everybody into independent music surely dig them...

[@edragtnavafreeartistandpho6670]

Oh....I know about Pere Ubu....of course Cyrus Budd....Cool name btw.....thanks for responding... I meant learning about when Bradford discovered Pere Ubu. I should've been more clear. My mistake for not wording it better. It's a really cool video though! Don't you think? 

[@cyrusbudatfletchergateart3569]

Ed Ragtnava Free Artist and Photographer Absolutely!

[@benedettaspampinato]

Bradford Cox is one of my musical hopes. I believe in his values and I think Deerhunter and Atlas sound's works are the most sincere and consistent things I recently listened to.

[@troy8420]

Musical hope is a nice phrase

[@jorgep1]

Cox is amazing, man! Love this dude. That "Atlas Sound" jam, Quick Canal, is out of this world good!

[@ElectricBloom7]

I love Deerhunter. Finally saw them live last week and it was amazing! He was so cute, came out to take pictures before the show, then climbed on to the stage and apologised his was through like he was disturbing the crowd... I just love him.

[@econogate]

All of his choices were spot on and his explanations seemed pretty interesting as well. I think the eclectic nature of his choices demonstrates a degree of flexibility in his art/music interests. Bravo!

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Bradford Cox and Deerhunter are one of the best indie groups ever

[@shmackatrotsky5394]

I love Whats In My Bag. I love Bradford Cox. Great picks--I would expect nothing less from Bradford. Eclectic, obscure, timeless.

[@JSSSLVVV]

Rosie and the Originals I found out about because I was depressed and my dad has a truck. My dad was like "Will, might as well get in the truck and take a ride around and we drive around and listened to the fifties station, Rosie and the Original's Angel Baby played. I thought it was the most haunting sounding song. Love that ^

[@Carpettower]

I love how he leaves at the end haha

[@BeccaJonesStarr]

Dear Gawd I love this man's music taste! Superb! Equally great sense of humor and sass. Other than his music, that's why I love him.

[@WolfataDoor]

Bradford is a fucking genius, LOVE him!

[@cpkelley]

Not only is his selection great, but this is seriously one of the most entertaining WIMB's yet. Made my day.

[@cactaceous]

Impecable taste. How can this dude not make great music with those influences.

[@kingreich22]

Yeah, people who really know music history are indeed a rare commodity.I have greater respect for Cox and Deerhunter after seeing the video.

[@drussell3]

Bradford is the man.

[@sketchwish5982]

i love his life story..and the way he writes music. beautiful human

[@cordani]

not too many music giants are as simply awesome as mr.bradford

[@buildscharacterz]

I kissed him on the cheek once after a show

[@SquidSnuggles]

Wow really? You're probably the only person to have done that.

[@lemondaeh]

god i love him so much

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

seems a great guy, so knowledgeable too [:

[@louderthangod]

I haven't heard Cathy's Clown in sooo long...truly one of the best pop songs ever written...thank you.

[@pincmin]

Wow, so glad to know there´s appreciation for Her love rubbed off, I love that song!!!

[@Jauwp]

"The guy obviously had a cold when he made it cuz he needs to blow his nose" hahahahaha

[@elmuan]

Bradford is awesome, great choices.

[@nosdkwasd]

Thank You bradford

[@nasseral-fozaie9956]

He knows his music.

[@HotStrange]

He did great in the Dallas Buyers Club as well. Great talent.

[@richardmurphy9006]

Random Ephemeral Distraction Sold! what a treat this Guy is"Love It"

[@voltabolta]

This is the best food my brain has had today, and I feel cleverer now. Thank you!

[@applejellypucci]

I was expected a deep voice! Wow!!

[@joecornes2157]

He is an amazing artist and person,cant help but think he sounds like Sid the Sloth though lol.

[@richardmurphy9006]

what a charmer

[@petercook360]

"I hid it in the Tuxedomoon section." If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that, I'd have five cents.

[@PCDisciple]

I've literally only heard one of his songs so far but I was so blown away I had to check this out. Any recommendations? I'm going to listen to Halcyon Digest first.

[@jamiecal11]

Man, oh man, are you in for a treat. Ask 3 different people what their favourite Deerhunter album is and you'll get 3 different answers, all of which right. I'd probably start with Microcastle, but every horse is a winner in this race!

[@PCDisciple]

jamiecal11 Awesome, I'm about halfway through Microcastles, Halcyon Digest and Monomania because I apparently have musical ADHD.

[@jamiecal11]

Good man! I know that feel. I only got on board since Monomania and I'm trawling through every last note of his music. Pretty much has become one of my all time favorites.

[@annab2691]

***** All I can say is - good for you. I remember my 'first time' with Deerhunter, then Atlas Sound; I was utterly blown away since I started my trip wih Halcyon Digest (which is a definition of bliss and pure genius imho). Bradford's music makes me feel glad I've been growing up with it, alongside. He's a nice fellow as well, I saw Deerhunter live two years ago, fantastic gig.

[@PCDisciple]

Mem wired Lucky... I would love to see them live. Bradley is a true artist.

[@maddymcgeown3889]

Grav3yard girl really wants to thank u because you have helped her through some really hard times and I am one of her long term subs so I want to help her out

[@SpecificSpecificity]

I love this guy.

[@TaraSuchitra]

Bradford is amazing.

[@brunettesatlarge]

brilliant guy... i did not expect him to sound like that

[@bhrisphoria428]

I just love the way he talks

[@hondotwo]

I knew my purpose in life was to wait for Bradford to do a What's In My Bag? Now I can die with fulfillment...

[@Luke.hello.]

YES!!! New AVGN and Bradford Cox video. What a treat.

[@DomestikMC]

[@twiggybarrdust1924]

[@Caligula138]

[@stewyjmu]

That was awesome!

[@IukuIeIe]

Can't wait for ATP Deerhunter weekend in June when Bradford empties his bag onto the stage.

[@chethongo]

Bradford Cox hablando de discos y tomándose una cerveza Victoria, que chido jeje.

[@stephenkane2464]

[@PeopleR2sensitive]

Not a huge fan but anyone that digs italian futurism and kluster is a cool guy.

[@hermioneganja9061]

great all around

[@philmole1209]

Woah, I didn't know he did one of these!

[@NudeRockENT]

[@Interbasser]

[@armandochavez1117]

[@yootesa1515]

Fabulous.

[@MrBitsilly]

Heck yeah, Raymond Scott :-)

[@amurense]

he's so wonderful!

[@Jeremyramone]

that was hilarious, best thing about growing up in the south is that you can dig up the ol hick accent at any time and usually get a larf. brillaint selections, thanks amoeba cheers from san diego

[@jeohlsson]

it's this song from his second solo album Logos called Quick Canal. You got to check it out dude, it's one of his best I think.

[@cashewpistachio1826]

Wow

[@stephenlasko9217]

Do you think Wes Anderson watched this (See: Isle of Dogs Trailer)?

[@Guille-mz7xf]

Stephen Lasko why is it related, I'm very lazy

[@Caligula138]

Holy Shit! I have that Cult Rockers book!

[@8loksewe637]

Oh shit! Love As Laughter covered I Wont Hurt You! I never knew it was a cover! Damn!

[@DaveyReynolds]

Quick Canal by Atlas Sound. The singer in that song is also in Stereolab another band you should check out if your into that kinda thing

[@ViciousCannibal]

This was a real good one.

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

Record stashers are annoying for the employees but it's easy to find the stashed stuff when you search the rack from back to front. Found a mint Telstar 45 yesterday that somebody hid in the back of the C section.

[@reallyhappytrees]

He introduced me to later cluster. I wonder which cluster album he considers the best, probably Zuckerzeit. My favorite is definitely Sowiesoso.

[@nick626007]

Atlas Sound (bradford's solo act) - "Quick Canal"

[@edragtnavafreeartistandpho6670]

Don't stash stuff at Amoeba :) Thank you for the words of wisdom :)

[@palbo4]

That Cult Rockers book is selling for one cent on Amazon, what

[@123smackthatass]

I love u Bradford

[@randomstandard]

Dead Moon!

[@dylancoffman1327]

Their love of speed, not the drug

[@randomstandard]

Always dropping speed references..lol

[@wynandolivier5202]

And four years later Wes Anderson uses that beautiful, obscure West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band song in his The Isle of Dogs. I like Bradford

[@chairmanJackie]

"That's the most valuable 5 inch vinyl in this store..." . throws it aside. haha i love that guy.

[@emodud1]

Sailing is the best song on Halcyon Digest

[@Humanshieldchorus00]

I've met Bradford Cox's in Belfast, total gentleman...anyhoo, what's the song at the very end?

[@Guille-mz7xf]

[@algray8298]

[@MasterYodaBiotch]

[@Agoogalydoogaly]
