Moby - What's In My Bag?

[@happyjessus]

Moby is probably the most likable artist around, he's down to earth, cool knowledgeable guy.. always a pleasure to watch his interviews!

[@jojo-fu4xh]

Actually he is a liberal douche.

[@birddogfreemann]

Don't let him fool you. He is an annoying, pretentious douche bag. And his music sucks.

[@firstamendright]

follow his facebook page, guy is an asshole

[@aelreddown4294]

Ask Natalie Portman about that...

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

I thought he was alright, I don't follow people on social media and such, but honestly his recent tattoos have made me realize maybe he's a little weirder than I thought. Haha. It's his body, sure, but really off-putting as a casual fan. Play is still a great album though. 👌 and he has good music recommendations.

[@voce_simul]

This video introduced me to X. I am forever grateful

[@amoeba]

+desmul great band!

[@ReadyMindsetGo]

Moby did not disappoint. I also like how the video was edited so we get to hear the solo in the Bad Brains track that he's talking about. Thanks Amoeba!

[@amoeba]

Glad you dig it. Thanks for watching!

[@thephoenix3155]

He actually covered a Bad Brains song “Sailin’ On” in 1999, that is a stunning, beautiful, atmospheric, melancholic song.

[@ferabra8939]

It's funny, rock musicians buy mainly electronic/dance music, and electronic/dance musicians, buy rock/blues...He's spot on about "I only have eyes for you", totally narcotic sounding.

[@MeanderingSlacker]

+Fer Abra It doesn't sound like work. Like Moby isn't hearing just a guy playing with filters and the rockers aren't hearing a dude make a rock song, they're hearing the music.

[@annadmakeeva]

he's the brain! very intellectual and intelligent person. great taste and erudition, really good picks.

[@amoeba]

One of his biggest selling albums was "Play." You may actually know some of the songs on that album and not realize it's him, as every song on the album was licensed for commercial use.

[@creekandseminole]

I love that scene in American Graffiti when Toad is opening beers to give to Debbie while the radio is playing in the background "I Only Have Eyes For You" by the Flamingos. That was the song me and my wife chose to dance to at our wedding reception.

[@hansgrueber8169]

"Let me have a 3 musketeers, and a ball point pen, one of those combs there, a pintofoldharper, ah a couple of flashlight batteries and some beef jerky."

[@brianoneil9662]

The Buzzcocks/Husker Dü comparison is actually spot on and it never actually occurred to me until Moby said it.

[@thekeywitness]

It's amazing how many people in this series buy the Bad Brains CD or LP because they used to have it on cassette. Kudos to Moby for admitting he is a Yes fan.

[@nickguyone]

i have never listened to moby but he showed in this video that he has major appreciation for some of my favorite bands, gonna have to check his music out

[@gunstonlake1871]

And I thought I was the only Bad Brains fan in the world who still loves "Close To The Edge" by Yes. I had no idea Moby was such a cool guy with impeccable taste. :)

[@kol9495]

yeah me to bro

[@iamsheep]

Gunston Lake I believe he began in a punk band...

[@ashleytewksbury1751]

Yup,

[@frankmaurer4352]

You are not alone!

[@codybrockway1616]

I love Yes too! Going to see and meet them in June!

[@GapingLotusX]

this was great. I love his description of the flamingos

[@leebatt7964]

Moby! This mans music helped me through grad school, right up to the day i dropped out.

[@robindoriangray2734]

Moby is one of the most relevant people is music today just like David Bowie and Bjork

[@nectarinedreams7208]

Whoa. Did not expect Yes after those first two picks. Diverse taste is the best taste.

[@TheDustyWilk]

Yes is imo the greatest rock act of all time

[@nandafprado]

OMG I love Moby, he was my first concert ever and it was the best until now! unforgetable

[@138DeadBoy]

love that he's sporting an Agnostic Front shirt!

[@fernfernisfernie]

Love that he picked up a Bad Brains cd. He seems like a cool person. Reminds me of Billy Corgan, the way he talks about music and stuff.

[@murdok620]

Man this guy loves and knows his music.

[@Jesus-mi7xh]

Moby with the Agnostic Front shirt on fuck yeh!!!!!

[@Gregbaltzer]

He does a song on a Bad Brains tribute album.

[@thaincrediblemaier]

He was a member of flipper too according to the American Hardcore doc

[@gabbyjlittlemactwiddle4234]

On point about Bad Brains and The Flamingos.

[@NealDamiano]

that Buzzcocks singles collection is fantastic

[@mirandamirae]

The part where they showed the YES keyboard solo made me laugh... orange juice came out my nose. But, it WAS funny.

[@nectarinedreams7208]

Wakeman Wakemaning

[@MiroslavKostic]

I enjoyed listening to Moby

[@HermanWaldorf]

Bad Brains first album (cassette) is the best hc record of all time. F++* yeah! That's what I've always thought. Moby's knowledge about music is really fascinating.

[@juliusigonzalez3742]

Moby you are a philosopher!!!... GO...

[@Eisonhawk]

amazing installment thank you aeomeba & thank you thank you moby!

[@jonvia]

Love his haircut.

[@norahherbie8537]

Good taste

[@radioclash84]

i knew he started out in the punk scene but that was pretty awesome. Great selection.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

0:58 the intermission on *Chili Peppers "Good Times Boys"* ('Mother's Milk' RHCP LP).

[@ceejay1794]

Love his picks, eclectic....intelligent man. Great interpretations of engineering of tracks.

[@camilaguevara4349]

I love this man as he sees the world, his vision of life

[@trinitygifts2574]

This is one of the best ones!!!

[@Gourmet_Goon80]

Couldn’t agree more with his assessment of “I only have eyes for you”. I feel kinda dopey and subdued when I listen to that song. Kinda psychedelic, too.

[@gapthfc]

Best series on youtube, by far. Thanks amoeba, keep them coming

[@silverblack5475]

I was at that Yes show

[@antoniogee2018]

yes!! Bad Brains!!!

[@OliV-fy4zn]

+Anthony Gargiso Like the man said best fucking Hardcore punk album . I FUCKING LOVE THEM

[@saucy05]

Nardwar interviewing this guy = 1 hour epic interview.

[@fachawassi]

we need nardwuar to read this

[@elspookso8414]

I'd love to see Nardwuar on this show.

[@k-m___]

sick sick picks and man his agnostic front tshirt!!!

[@houndofchulainn76]

"The best hardcore album ever made". Never were truer words spoken.

[@spooninspoon]

Moby and American Blues and 50's music that's awesome

[@nardcalls]

cant really fuck with moby's music but he seems like a sick dood

[@kanegreen5739]

the flamingos - i only have eyes for you is the tune the fugees sample on zealots! both are awesome!

[@GazmoSin1960s]

Great picks all around.

[@MrRedstreak]

well done. i knew i would enjoy this one.

[@amoeba]

It's "The Perfect Life" from Moby's latest album "Innocents" and features Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips on vocals.

[@martinquarton184]

From Yes to The Flamingos... awesome

[@jonvia]

Everyone shits on Moby but he is a music licensing genius!!!

[@Breakbeats92.5]

I remember Dave Ghrol of Foo Fighters/Nirvana saying that the best Punk Rock show he had ever been to was a Bad Brains show in D.C.

[@olitomar]

This man needs his own show

[@amocmofficial]

His comment about how husker du and buzzcocks are similar is so spot on.

[@christiantrosdorff1061]

Damn, I could hang out with him for hours, while we play our records to each other and discuss the music...

[@MichaelMacosa]

What an obscure choice for "Most well know L.A. band" by Moby. Nationally there are only a handful of people who ever heard of Wild Gift. No one better encapsulates the L.A . "Look and Feel" and "Sound and Vibe" than Van Halen!

[@saraivatoledo1842]

Mobister with an Agnostic Front shirt ...curiously enough Mobister did some good narcotic stuff with Mark Lanegan. Mobister being into ,Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle ,NoN and Diamanda Galás ...basivcally ,Mobister´s "What´s in my bag " made me reflect a LOT about my levels of hipsterness

[@discharge29]

i'm just glad no obscure jazz music was involved

[@1Superchops]

So THAT'S where that Fugees sample comes from!

[@1Superchops]

Hey! Do I know you?

[@rockolutheran]

1Superchops No.

[@deadendkido]

I deeply agree on the brains. best hc record ever...and I do not skip the reggae songs.

[@dieclivity]

I'm in love with him

[@prosecutorgodot519]

no wonder there are so many blues samples on play...

[@CentrifugeProduction]

I strongly disagree!

[@ChromeDestiny]

They're about to put out a surround sound version of Yes' Close to the Edge with a bunch of a bonus stuff that wasn't on the Rhino reissue so that should be pretty cool.

[@DallasGunther]

Yes is awesome playing live. Ba-lee-dat!

[@elizabethm.4916]

I'm not very familiar with his music but I feel like I can listen to him talk forever. Now I'm curious...

[@alguientve]

I like PunkyMoby !

[@so_cliche]

imho Moby is one of the most talented musicians alive. true artist.

[@tudormiller8898]

Whoa! What's Moby got against vinyl ? Bad Brains!!! YAY!!!

[@hang-sangitch]

Awesome... because that is uncanny. If anyone asks me about music recording or production. I say go and listen to the flamingoes 'i only have eyes for you'. Sonic perfection.

[@jackcueavo4090]

i want that NON shirt!

[@JP-dt8bs]

Is he wearing a Agnostic Front shirt? How awesome is that

[@dln.sweeney]

Jelle Postma He used to make punk music before he started doing his electronic thing.

[@NOWtheband]

Yes.

[@brooklynboiprod]

He was in The Vatican Commandos. It was a Connecticut hardcore band

[@JP-dt8bs]

Bad ass

[@canislupusdankovich1356]

Dude check out the “One Life One Chance” podcast with Toby Morris! Moby was around in the early days of Hardcore!

[@emirozdemir2037]

wow he likes yes, and the best era i might add

[@amoeba]

The original image of Blind Willie Johnson was incorrect. Some of the folks here pointed it out, so we re-uploaded it with the correct image.

[@geospot4679]

I agree with his point about Rick Wakeman. His solos weren't up to scratch often. But try telling HIM that.

[@kelb6073]

Great picks

[@mumbojumbolearningfun5973]

Love u Moby.

[@fuzzylumpkin49]

Awesome choices. I used to age reproductions of classic posters as well.

[@thatdude7338]

Can someone explain the constant Moby hate? I've never understood it. I grew up with early Moby albums hidden in my dad's music library and playing it when he was out. Kind of how I found out about all the music I listen to now. I've always loved his style, although his early songs can kind of wash themselves out with how much goes on. He seems intelligent and nice enough, is there something I've been missing all these years?

[@TheABElia]

Because people are dicks

[@bruce6rt]

It's the internet mate! It's a magnet for haters!

[@Savepointgaminglounge]

Eminem dissed him and the stans started dissing him.

[@SuperPussyFinger]

It’s essentially a Nickelback thing.

[@kilduff32]

Gotta love moby wearing an Agnostic Front t shirt

[@jkajmo]

Man I'd LOVE to sit down with Moby & just have a conversation about anything, preferably music.

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

great interview and great taste from moby, aside from YES, lol

[@itsmedrooms6071]

Underwater in a methadone clinic is such a perfect description of that 50s super reverb pop stuff.

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

I love it when people say stuff like "because I'm old", and I'm 10 years older than they are...

[@ricardolorrio8228]

@2:38 that is American Mozart. Once of the best American songs ever produced

[@kennytheclown3859]

Good stuff!

[@taniat2437]

I can hear him talk all day

[@EyeTunz]

Once I heard Black Dots by Bad Brains none of the other Bad Brains albums sounded good anymore.

[@RyanCrase]

Moby knows his stuff. He used to bring Bubba Dupree (VOID) on tour as his guitar player, and I think some keys too.

[@ethansloan]

Animal Rights is an underrated masterpiece. Love Moby. Thanks.

[@gunstonlake1871]

@ Jesusjuicerful - the song at 0:49 is "White Girl" by X

[@dougsworld7533]

Great taste

[@CentrifugeProduction]

Pretty crap taste to be honest, I mean ice cream yum, sweets again that shit is tasty. But music tastes like shit! I dunno how many CD's or Vinyls you have consumed but I can tell you now, it is everything but great tasting

[@negativelyevil]

CentrifugeProduction, I don't eat them for their taste or nutritional value. I eat them so I may absorb their power.

[@andrewsteichen78]

Yes is awesome!

[@TheZurul]

also after play check out "I Like to Move in Here". good classic house track

[@TheMetallicaGods]

Is he wearing an Agnostic Front shirt? Badass!

[@graceyoungmark8314]

Moby my king

[@MURUR1025]

ROIR - Reach Out International Records

[@nickpelkey]

he needs to have a studio tour... wondering how he's storing his gear these days.

[@NeutralDice]

Moby knows his stuff

[@teddyballgame406]

I love NON!

[@godslittleguy]

X!

[@Unholygamewinner]

Oh shit good time boys by RHCP has that interlude with X in it just realised
