Lou Barlow - What's In My Bag?

[@ogami1972]

a million years ago i walked up to lou before a sebadoh show and told him he had written the soundtrack of my life. the look of disappointment and mild disgust on his face as he turned and walked away has stuck with me for almost 20 years. cool video.

[@tangoamiyumi8932]

Wow.. Why would he do that?

[@travyyy4534]

@@tangoamiyumi8932 after the dino jr breakup he was known to be bitter, j mascis and murph were also the same way but they grew and changed

[@stevegilmore2093]

Not my experience with Lou at all.

[@ogami1972]

@@stevegilmore2093 well, no, of course not, I was specifically describing my experience.

[@stevegilmore2093]

@@ogami1972 He was extremely nice and friendly when I saw Dinosaur Jr couple months ago.

[@VCCassidy]

Sebadoh is still such an underrated, amazing band. Bubble and Scrape, Bakesale, Harmacy, all great albums.

[@JoCo-ow6pl]

I agree 100%. I've been jamming those three over and over the past two weeks

[@o.binwheelie9733]

III is Fantastic as well

[@sweetsamsara5507]

I agree I think Harmacy is great too. I wish Lou would give it more credit.

[@neitherdoi5238]

III is my favourite

[@fivehourenergy6159]

I think Sebadoh III is still pretty good

[@FirstMultitude]

Buying his own record was the hilarious moment for sure.

[@mv563]

My Dinosaur/Sebadoh fandom peaked way back when opportunities to hear 'underground' musicians speak were rare. It's cool to belatedly see such a thing, especially talking about other people's music. The idiosyncratic personal/regional history picks were fascinating. It's also time I dug out that Folk Implosion record!

[@bennyshambles]

I have that Folk Implosion album on vinyl and I got it at that very Amoeba. Lucky me.

[@xntruth9131]

That Ty Segall album is awesome

[@InternetHockeyGuy]

Thank you, Lou. God bless.

[@irotinmyskin]

god i miss the old folk implosion, and so impressed he chose a record of Evergreen, one of my favorite completely unknown bands.

[@Caligula138]

Peter Schilling is who sings Major Tom. I accidentally bought that first Folk Implosion record while i was looking for The Fall, dont ask.

[@SolamenteVees]

Lou is great. He showed me the chords to Magnet's Coil after a show in Detroit, Bakesale tour. (while he was packing up his own gear)

[@dougsworld7533]

I checked out that Evergreen record , am now hooked on it

[@astral_plane_crash]

Dougs World your comments really old but yeah......it really slaps.

[@shaunkorb6247]

remember listening to evergreen when i was a kid. a great louisville band.

[@Letterstoalease]

This just validates that me and Lou are soulmates.

[@acrovader]

2:54- I haven't heard the song in a million years and it was always one of my favorites but I never knew who the band or the name of the song was. Thanks Lou!!

[@urbanrock80u70]

the song name is shut up asbestos

[@ModernElectricRecordings-bl6bs]

FINALLY!!!! Somebody giving BLOTTO their due! Thanks Lou!!!

[@tubbythug92]

Lou Barlow is awesome. Sebadoh is such a great band.

[@olliepool1]

lou chose a ty segall record, fuck yes

[@andriellyandrade]

lou barlow never disappoints me ♥. but sebadoh > folk implosion

[@6789drummerdude]

Blotto is from my area. They’re from Albany NY. I played a couple gigs with the keyboardist with my dad’s band. Really nice guy.

[@db4035]

Ah delighted to see Lou bigging up UMO’s first album! Respect!

[@kickinthought]

The first song played in the video is License To Confuse by Sebadoh

[@dinosaurjr.57]

I know this is a 3 year old comment, but thank you soo much was looking so hard for this song

[@jm76vd]

Kids! check out that Folk Implosion cd very awesome . Loved it, great songs the feel and sound is magic. good good stuff.

[@pja36]

Listen to Folk Implosion on the Kids soundtrack, skip Kids though. Woof.

[@amoeba]

It's Bankrupt! by the band Phoenix.

[@fedec532]

Lou Barlow !! A great musician I literally consumed the Sebadoh records

[@danielsaredi]

Major Tom 'völlig losgelöst'?? OMG, I was 11 at the time. Memories of sports class in primary school! :D

[@xiempie]

woah I have been looking for the Major Tom song for ages. Only knew the melody so I couldn't look it up. Thanks Lou!

[@jordanarchuleta7139]

ive been waiting for this ! thanks !

[@patrick88suns]

first CD i bought from Amoeba Hollywood was Lou Barlow's Collection of Home Recordings

[@gaspanda]

I went to Amoeba records in LA when we were on holiday there - and bought a T-shirt and a couple of 7inches. That was 10years ago, I understand it is not there anymore?

[@asolarasolarasolar]

The first UMO album is a master piece.

[@emmaduncan2991]

Blotto's "I wanna be a lifeguard" got a lot of play on very early MTV

[@marcswadel4633]

Lou joined in at our 40 people chalet party jam at ATP festival a few weeks ago.. and rocked. Had Har Mar there too. Lou played a bass, took off one string, went under the table and rocked out for a few hours :) top marks.

[@1111dashiznit1111]

The coincidence that I was actually listening to Unknown Mortal Orchestra right when he mentioned it.

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

Bubble and Scrape is one of the greatest break up, lost love records ever. Soul and Fire Think Happily Divided

[@matthewfuller5209]

Punk Rock changed my life, dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@butterbagboy]

Blotto, what a great pick!!!

[@moony9013]

The second artist he picked is something to check out for sure :D

[@allidock11]

Holy what? YOU are Lou Barlow? I pretty much worshiped you when I was young at college. Well, to be fair, you and a shitton of other musicians. I assumed, for no particular reason that you were dead. Legit "Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock" was the best thing ever.

[@crockerjon176]

Blotto also did a tune called "Metal Head" from that record. They were a MTV fave in the beginning.

[@onebigholiday42]

Louuuuuu! That UMO record is excellent

[@badgerbadger-badger-Poppy]

For some reason, his Ty Segall and Unknown Mortal Orchestra picks really excited me.

[@davidreidy5750]

Sebadoh,great live!

[@RealAsaMitaka]

my second favorite musician named Lou

[@pinkaerozeppelin]

Really happy he got the ty singles.

[@GlennMosby]

He choose pretty "softy music" considering he plays in of one of the loudest bands in the world!

[@mantasour]

Lou💕💕💕💕💕Barlow 💕💕💕💕

[@yolandbator180]

He probably heard Blotto on WCCH from Holyoke (maybe WSKB in Westfield) because when I was at the radio station we had a couple of DJ s who played it to death... the Elevators... hah... everyone in Western Mass was given a complimentary copy when they ordered a Fribble at Friendlys

[@13DollarMic]

Now we just need Murph to do a WIMB? segment.

[@RedBlueSam]

Awesome, thanks!

[@MrHobocopter]

Dude, that means Lou is too cool for school! Another reason for why Lou didn't go to college.

[@Meynor.22]

Bakesale is one of my favorite albums of all time

[@runthroughthejungle5492]

Update: the folk implosion is active again as of 2021!

[@nobbynoris]

Lou Barlow seems like a really nice bloke.

[@Philmod68]

I've met him a few times over the years....and he is.

[@what76485]

I’ve been looking for white noise- an electric storm for like two decades now. But it’s hard to find. Probably because I work, make music, and lay on floor.

[@amoeba]

It's called "Cents"

The Folk Implosion album is a belter
