this BASS player ...she should sing !!! great voice !!!!!

[@Northerntransmissions]

she has an amazing singing voice. Thanks for watching RIML XC

[@vrombo]

Mark is so into all this hard-to-find-and-probably-never-heard-of records, it's a huge part of his real identity, rarely people are so devoted to anything.

[@brucejacquesStick]

I cant stop listening to these guys....

[@limpiiicken1949]

I love how she says it's my ABC's. Shes said it in multiple interviews. And damn man mark and DJ have got to be some of the best bandmates. You can feel and see the love they have for each other.

[@Northerntransmissions]

They have a great vibe, so much support for one another, this was a fun shoot for us too. Thanks for the comment and the view!

[@limpiiicken1949]

@@Northerntransmissions my pleasure thanks for what you guys do!

[@matthewallen2247]

I'm so glad she said the name, I don't think I have ever heard the proper pronunciation.

[@birth0fserpents]

v important band. about to blow up for real

[@Northerntransmissions]

Yeah, they were telling us they'd sold out almost their entire tour and still had months of shows to go!

[@asev1969]

My favorite group.

The drummer seemed like he was going to fall asleep, but he killed the Purdie Shuffle!!! Total redemption!! Keep Killing it!!!!!!!!!!

[@brentalfieri4307]

Khruangbin is the best band on the planet right now (and I was listening to all the wrong music growing up).

[@reedcrisis]

OMG, DJ is such a sweet person. He's like an adorable puppy 😊

[@aliasgambetti1635]

what a band! Go for it!

[@NuDystopia]

I love thissssss bandddddddd

Big ups to music.

[@seanjamestwofirstnames2149]

"Shout out to music."

[@DeathShouldTakeMeNow]

Thanks for the band for turning me on to the Scientist records, I'm just learning bass and those lines are great to practice to, plus they're badass dub which I love.

[@Agothygoth]

I have watched their interviews all day!! They are great 👍🏾!

[@tylerjodeblock1224]

Damn my Dad had that beverly hills cop record and I totally forgot until I seen this, I was about 5 years old or so when he played this and I remember liking it alot

[@JackHumphrey]

AXL F!!! I played that on xylophone in high school. What a weird, out of left field blast-from-the-past. Now I REALLY like DJ.

[@bbrainz5555]

going into discogs to find out about who's on the record is one of the best ways to discover music, love u mark

[@farmerjoe6919]

Love you guys!!

[@johnbillings4947]

They're playing Austin in a couple of days and I'm not going to make it. Hope they make it back around in 2019. Really love this band and these are true musicians who love music.

[@Northerntransmissions]

You're right, the whole band could have spoken for hours but Mark especially seems to be a musical scholar. Thanks for watching!

[@marcoismissing]

Thanks for the video! Love them.

[@Northerntransmissions]

Thank you for watching!

OMG this is the show I was at! They killed it

that scientist record is sick. I wish someone had shown that to me when I first started learning bass!!! rock out Laura Lee!!!

[@cralo5431]

The drummer does not blink

[@darkhalo0868]

Today is April 5th, 2019 and this is the first time I've ever heard of Khruangbin. Wow how did they get pass me???

[@papela]

Nice choice! My favorite album & bass player too, Flabba Holt, hottest basslines in the universe.

[@vcp93]

Great interview with an uber cool band.

[@Northerntransmissions]

Thanks, they were super chill and obviously LOVE music, a really easy interview to film.

[@stevenbeechey]

Mark smiling big time listening to DJ talk about that first record :)

[@GANicholas]

I can’t believe he pulled out the Don Blackman album, great choice with those deep cuts my brother! That’s also one of my favorite albums, definitely a top 10! As a fellow musician I completely understand what you mean when you say that an albums helped change your life, Don Blackman inadvertently helped shape my life as well & I’m very sorry to hear he passed. If I was featured on RML, I probably would have pulled out that Blackman album but I’d also have to say Christian Gaubert’s “Running Wave” (1979) It’s definitely a super hot & funky album!

[@MW-L.o.S-Essex]

Don Blackman - Holding You Loving You - one of my favourite tracks

[@dorontsur]

They're so cute!!!

[@AmaanC]

DJ: Harold Faltermeyer - Harold F (special shoutout to Axel F) Don Blackman - Don Blackman (J. Dilla sampled "Holding You, Loving You") Laura: Root Radics - Junjo Presents: Wins the World Cup (alt. "Scientist Wins The World Cup") Selena - Greatest Hits Mark: Parliament - Clones of Dr. Funkenstein Kassav' ‎- Lagué Moin As a Spotify playlist: open.spotify.com/user/n0cd50tyymv7qyqdjealp986l/playlist/1UX7s0sMYs3tnlwtqxaNko?si=e2AKksgNSfS63fAi2prbOg Not all albums were available on Spotify (Selena's Greatest Hits isn't a compilation, Kassav's Lague Moin isn't available), so I added some alternate albums from the artists to make up for it (and some extra George Clinton & The P-Funk All-Stars & Kassav because I'm sure Mark approves).

Oh mais ouiiiii Kassav', so popular in France that we forget that it is actually great music by great musicians !

[@brenthoskins8436]

Scientist wins the World Cup!!! Whaaaaat. I have that one too. Man she knows about roots radics, mundell, etc. makes sense why her bass lines sound so deep and dubby.

[@bbrainz5555]

dude when she showed that scientist record everything clicked!

[@robertm4050]

Well, I knew this was some sort of inside the band joke about Kassav. I checked them out and it turns out I like them, I already like world music so it isn't much of a surprise. I still think they are joking about how good they are and how it changed his life, but I am downloading some. They are from the 80's and have an Islands/West African sound, remind me a lot of Majek Fashek but much more up beat.

[@deancrow3525]

Dig these guys .... ✌️

[@susangravdahlparsons2684]

Why did it take me so long to find you three? And wait, Kassav?. I'm now wondering if your gorgeous rhythmics will increase in speed somehow. Whatever you do in the futchah, I'm tuning in.

[@9UaYXxB]

Bin diggers , amazing dedication to following their muses and distilling it all into such effervescent brilliance

[@_pulyx]

Laura is the complete package.

[@CRAETION_]

abso-freakin-lutely

[@sprayscience]

I can't believe Scientist was mentioned. Very cool. Reggae music has the heaviest rhythms ever.

[@Northerntransmissions]

Everyone seems excited about that record I am going to have to listen to it tomorrow!

[@sprayscience]

@@Northerntransmissions The best record from Scientist is Scientist vs. Prince Jammy: Big Showdown at King Tubby's. Super heavy dub rhythms on that one.

[@Northerntransmissions]

Thanks! They were very gracious guests and seemed to have fun talking music with us.

[@FromBajor]

Parliament! George Clinton an underrated musical genius of the last decades

[@KravMagoo]

Uh, I really don't think George Clinton is underrated...he's considered the Godfather of funk. Maybe not listened to a lot, but definitely not underrated.

[@arthurbarbosa3557]

0:03 how I feel every time I listen to them

[@Ckoz2829]

I think the most important piece of information I learned from this interview is how to pronounce the band’s name.

[@jimmahgee]

hi we’re crumb ben and this is records in my life

[@Islwynpaul]

Been listening to Scientist since 1980 and Parliament since the 70s but Kassav are new to me. In fact Osmium was released in 1970 and Introducing Scientist the Best Dub album in the World 1980. Kassav appears to have been around since 1979 so a lot of catching up to do. Although I'm not sure I rate them much.

[@JudithJJJ]

Kassav !

[@jacko717]

Great to hear Laura giving props to Flabba Holt🏅

[@deancrow3525]

Can't find that kassav record anywhere, does it have an alternate cover?

Yeah kassav french west indies band.one of greatest, grooviest finest live acts of the last 4 decade ,they played all over the world , unfortunately under mainstream media radar

[@TheFrederic888]

astro farhi they are pretty mainstream in the francophone sphere.

[@cosmojairzinho14]

@@TheFrederic888have you ever heard a song of that band played on a regular basis on . French Mainstream radio stations (rfm,nostalgie ,France inter, rtl rmc,europe 1..) ? Nope ..have you ever seen them regularly invited or interviewed on french tv ..Nope .after having performed sold out gigs at big paris arenas (zenith, bercy) through 2 decades, They were the first French band to fill stade de france (2009)..this has been blatantly ignored.and the latter even wrongly awarded to indochine in 2010. Anyway they don't need that. As they have more than proven themselves where things really matter : on thousands stages around the world entertaining millions devoted fans.

[@TheFrederic888]

astro farhi I mean I am pretty familiar with their kind of music, though I am never been especially interested in their songs. That fits the definition of mainstream I guess. Kolé Séré was a massive hit. I am sure having seen them on multiple tv shows back in the time.

[@cosmojairzinho14]

@@TheFrederic888 kole sere is not a kassav song . It initially appeared on jocelyne beroard 1986 first solo album which airing was limited to french Caribbean islands and diaspora. The massive hit You mentioned , happened Only because Philippe lavil decided to make a cover in 1988. His established name , his strong connections in the music business , the fact that he sung his solo part in french made the huge difference . Interesting how only that song coming straight to your mind talkin about kassav although it s not theirs. Good proof they not mainstream as far as france main territory is concerned. in Martinique, and Guadeloupe you do have a point ..they are Mainstream as zouk has been the relentless and dictatorial dominant music all over those places for decades ..I remember getting death threats while hosting a weekly 2hours rock program on a radio station in fort de france .

[@StephaneVorstellung]

[@chucklohn522]

I am a big fan of Khruangbin but i'm pretty sure that they are just fucking with the interviewer about their music taste. lol

[@Northerntransmissions]

I'm not sure they were messing with us. Mark pulled out all the albums from a massive pile of records in the back lounge of their tour bus. They had literally hundreds of vinyl records stacked in the back of the bus. Perhaps these were some of the easily accessible albums near the top of the piles, but everything they spoke about came from their own collections. Intense record lovers!

[@realblakrawb]

[@Northerntransmissions]

Maybe it's because I'm in my 50's but i think the wig is brilliant. They've created an image around their music that can outlive themselves. The groovy 60's wigs make them timeless, and so suggestive of a trip-out era. I'm down with the wig. mrh
