EELS - What's In My Bag?

[@TheProbewizard]

Electroshock blues is one of the few records that makes me cry like a baby, he’s an amazing artist

[@lars5174]

What I love about this series is that whenever there's an artist featured that I really really like, like Eels here, I check out their picks and it totally makes sense.

[@Smashmilk]

Or in some cases they take you down. Wonderful rabbit hole that you wouldn't think they would be into . It's very nice indeed

[@lgfbratwurst]

@@Smashmilk Yes! Gary Numan totally turned me on to Be-Bop Deluxe doing one of these a few years ago!

[@hipsterdoofas329]

That was my exact thoughts...

[@stuffythriftwood4612]

Have not heard that name in so long.

[@Sarah-sf8fv]

Finally discovered some new bands: The Beatles, what a name though

[@lauraanne5175]

😂

[@carterwatson1949]

I love this show so much I’ve discovered so much new music new artist and bands. Thx for still making episodes!!

[@amoeba]

Thanks for watching the series! We love it too!!

[@breakalime]

I’ve had Beautiful Freak on heavy rotation in my car recently and am reminded what a damn fine album it is.

[@readymade83]

Saw Eels in 2005 with strings then again in 2006 all electric and he puts on a hell of a show. E is cool dude.

[@mikeybayer45]

Thank E should just share his picks once a month.

[@KamikazeJedi]

Wow, this guy has taste

[@_aworldthatspoke950]

And smell

[@_aworldthatspoke950]

And hearing

[@thomp9054]

And touch

and ghosts

[@dudeCar88]

Thanks Eels for showing us what’s in your bag 💼 :-)

[@14gilbertst]

Marvin Gaye- When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You, is a remarkable vocal performance. Would love to know if he pulled it off live ever.

[@latitudepost]

Here, My Dear is an incredible album. There is no other album like it. Excellent pick

[@dinosaursr]

Very cool band. When I lived in Taiwan in 2000 a friend of mine recommended the Eels to me. Excellent taste in music too.

[@carlosfierro1916]

Nobody cares you lived in Taiwan, no need to casually mention it.

[@dinosaursr]

@@carlosfierro1916 I thought it was interesting that the Eels had fans over there too.

[@amym571]

EEEEEEE!!! My hero!!

[@mindbait]

I love E, and it's clear that he loves vinyl. "great to get it on vinyl"

[@MrVisde]

Love the picks. I need to check out those live albums!

[@mazzysmusic]

That Bobbie Gentry set is fab ❣️

[@MammaApa]

The Super Deluxe version of Let It Be also has all the Glyn Johns mixes, readily availible on all major streaming services. If he meant "on vinyl" then he is correct that the box is the only way.

[@punker-gamer-trucker-guy]

Also, $125 for that box isn't terrible. I might snatch one before their gone

[@neshod6415]

@@punker-gamer-trucker-guy That depends on your budget ...

[@kelseywarren7020]

Excellent picks!!! There's a few I'm not familiar with. Thanks Eels. One of the best ones in the series.

[@santiagobenites]

I'm familiar with all of those performers, except for The Beatles. I've never heard of them before.

[@patridasutton4393]

A little foursome from Liverpool, never had much of a profile, but there's a couple of tunes that weren't too bad. 😅

[@raingirlcat2245]

Yeah, I mean, who the hell is John Lemon? 😂

[@davidellis5141]

Bobby Womack was my favorite R&B vocalist. Glad people are discovering him from his track with Gorillaz !

[@Hi-fd4cw]

Not just one track, but three, really good tracks

[@paulsandor3522]

2 great things about this series: 1. Obviously, the picks by the artists. 2. Discovering (or rediscovering in this case for me) the artist/presenter.

[@paulelliott3220]

He’s E Awesome artist Great taste

[@cyyytr0n]

E's alright !

[@obliviolentamente]

I always admired and follow Eels work. I'm amazed how he picked some interesting artists here, but the last pick was the cherry on top: Astrud Gilberto is my all time favourite singer.

[@Padre4321]

I always wondered if the artists had to pay for the stuff in their bag. Eels definitely took Amoeba to the cleaners here.

[@postmodernrecycler]

Between this series and the Criterion closet, I've watched easily more than a million $$ in physical media given away

[@t_albino]

I would Go CRAZY in store if that was me 🤣

[@creekandseminole]

I think they give them a certain limit on how much they can purchase but usually the guests end up buying a lot of titles lol

[@Dubz9Ball]

Great pickups

[@punker-gamer-trucker-guy]

Fucking love me some eels, but damn I lost track of his work and now it's so overwhelming to get caught up.

[@stephen3511]

You know E is into gooooooood sheeeeeeeeeet ✌🏻

[@romstar]

He has excellent taste in music !!😩❤️😘🎵 🎼 🎶

[@OlafProt]

I just bought that Roberta Flack album too. It’s amazing. So funky

[@FernandoDANTE]

Great picks. Cool guy. I’ve never even listened to Eels.

[@Zen_Ali_123]

Not sure if the achievement still stands, but Roberta Flack was the only artist to win the Grammy for song of the year two years in a row.

[@skrem23]

Bette Midler (of all dreadful human beings) did the same in 90, 91.

[@williamz7011]

Holy hell I just listened to that Bobby Womack album. So good

[@t_albino]

Oh this man has my heart! All his picks are my picks too. This also confirms the suspicion I had that Ameoba covered the costs of all the stuff the featured artist purchases in store... If it was me, I'd be going crazy In there!

[@michaelmoraga2926]

Ha! I remember being in Amoeba on Haight St. and walking straight to the Marvin Gaye section to buy "Here My Dear" just as a guy was pulling the last one out and asking him if he really really wanted it that day. Of course, like me he'd been planning... Doh! Some days you lose, some days you win. 'This is a joke I need a smoke wait a minute...'

[@tinostabile3256]

Hi there love the Eels... what an incredible vinyl pick ups

[@timothywilliams8857]

The Eels are ALWAYS in my bag!

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

...been a fan of Mark and his band ever since first hearing them in the mid '90s. They weren't grunge or post-grunge formula alternative like what dominated modern rock radio in the couple/few years after Cobain's death (Counting Crows, Seven Mary Three, Bush, Train, et. al.). They also weren't trying to be an American copycat of the Britpop movement (Blur, Oasis, et. al.). They were their own thing, and that's what I liked about them. ...and I very much enjoyed E's selections that he shared from his Amoeba bag -- he gave me some homework to do!

[@PogieJoe]

Just like E, I have an obsession with the hidden gem albums artists make "past their prime."

[@danielhoffheins2068]

The sound on that Marvin Gaye Live! album: Bill Schnee. Scope this work.

[@theWARMJET]

Lennons once told George Martin that he wanted to Record all they music again. Martin rep: even Strawberry fields? Lennon: specially that one

[@alternativefm328]

The First time I saw your face written by Ewan McCall, Kirstys Dad great choices

[@doh4828]

Impeccable taste, E!

[@sonicgrub]

Nice man. Compadres in taste. Wish him the best.

[@innabit5961]

[@reademccardell5208]

Desperately enjoyed this.

[@teslagoth9401]

[@user-io3th6lo9t]

Eels album electroshock blues is a real winner.

[@tedmowsby9607]

Anyone ever notice that Eels songs are used in just about every movie? He must have signed some weird deal.

[@Pinerocks]

He’s the greatest living artist

[@grupil]

Hell yeah, Mark is great!

[@quickjoeysmall34]

You have to get 300 days, it's extremely expensive. It's $300 but it's supposed to be most of the sessions, while some of the songs had way too many takes-

[@Themsbeatlesrock]

Is this the guy from LOVE?

[@robjj5373]

Ya. It's the reason I clicked to be honest. Nerd to check his music now

[@kyzor-sosay6087]

Eels ……..outstanding band.

[@sole3688]

What a genius idea for a show..

[@sugarbone-cage8497]

Really cool picks !

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

The first song I heard of this band is Keep Your Eyes Down in The Holes Movie soundtrack..

[@AnonymousAccount514]

I knew it!!! I knew they weren’t actually buying these albums

[@neshod6415]

It is interesting how most of the artists listening to the completely different genre of music from what they play....
