Andrew Savage in the striped shirt looks like a Fred Armisen character off of Portlandia. lol

[@sidewalksafari_]

Haha yes and they played with Fred on Late Night

[@jadenjasper3471]

"Drinking a glass of chocolate milk" Sold, I'm buying that record. I need music for my chocy milk ambience

[@ehmazin]

All Parquet Courts fans should check that Fall album out

[@coolguy00442]

Fuck yes. Jane From Occupied Europe is fucking amazing.

[@larrydong5746]

"Drinking a glass of chocolate milk, if you're heartbroken, if you're happy."

[@dennischary1197]

Great eclectic selection.R E M, The Bee Gees( before they went disco),Karl Heinz Stockhausen,and Lightnin Hopkins among many others makes for a great party mix. No wonder I enjoy their music so much-they draw from such great and diverse sources.

[@Luschan]

Reckoning is such an insanely good album. Great choice.

[@conorcarrigan4267]

People commenting saying 'awful try hard taste' of course they're trying hard they're gonna be interviewed on what music inspires them and influences their music. And what even defines a hipster these days, that word gets used way too much these days, its fucking 2014 styles and trends change, genres develop, keep up and get over it!

[@Rsurect]

They look so awkward man I fucking love it

[@dangeroftime]

That was the freakiest thing ever.. I had Sunbathing Animal on as I opened this video and the song played exactly in time. Weird

[@justmebeingbored1794]

i love how they like Yoko Ono

[@landcruiserfan4206]

oh really? I dislike Yoko immensely. each morning I wake up and throw ten Yoko voodoo dolls in my sacrificial fire. I dislike her that much

[@atticusfinch6038]

More like yoko, oh God please no

[@xiuxiu1108]

[@megaforse]

I feel like I'm being trolled with the Yoko straight into Lightning, but wow what a range!

[@matthewmaki]

:24 sufjan stevens

[@xAngelsOfHellx]

Man first Lightning Hopkins, then Odessa right after? These guys are too cool, Odessa has to be one of my top 10 albums of all time.

[@SpaceStationSouvlaki]

karlheinz, residents and fall ! dudes sure listen to some quality shit

[@JimHarrisArt]

Awesome. Love the Stockhausen and The Fall.

[@Hal9000ize]

Fucking perfect residents album to pick! Not Available is such a masterpiece

[@rioter1977]

Great choice - Swell Maps. - Love em. Get in !!! Miget Submarine .

[@styxcreek]

The Fall and Swell Maps, I’ve never listened to Parquet Courts but I might have to now

[@kyletomlinson5365]

What did you think

[@prankster1590]

Patti Smih. Most badass of them all.

[@MrKGHunter]

Wrong answer. The Fall.

[@that1kidjr]

Nick valensi?!? Is that you? In front of all those strokes records ?!? Nice

[@ragasthegascap1]

The Numero compilation is actually from a studio in Port Neches, Texas, hometown of Lee Hazlewood.

[@konstantinov]

the Andrew Savage solo album is seriously one of the best albums i've ever heard

[@hbzdgaf9010]

I loved it too, sad it didn't seem to get too much buzz smh quite different from PC, but still fantastic!

[@musickheroe]

Damn since when Michael Cera is in a band ?

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Austin feels like the ultimate stoner but who went to college

[@brownyuio]

All great picks!!

[@basketcase98]

What is the name of the Bee Gees' song?

[@basketcase98]

[@smoketears6874]

Heynong Man

[@dariocaporuscio8701]

[@benwhackley]

Midsummer New York sounded good to me!

[@ClueSign]

These lads have some fine influences -- REM and the Fall might be the vinyl I sold to Amoeba. Good boys.

[@petercook360]

Joke's on y'all, that FLY album by Yoko Ono is great.

[@YouTubeIsRanByFagsandCommies]

Peter Cook more for you then. You listen to it.

[@bonhamhouse1169]

Agree ! “Midsummer New York”,

[@bonhamhouse1169]

!

[@AleMaya]

sean is sweet

[@bonhamhouse1169]

Absolutely exquisite selections. Excellent taste. Curious about that Numero(?) compilation.

[@brownyuio]

Zapple only released two albums out, I believe: John and Yoko's Unfinished Music No. 1 and George Harrison's Electronic Music.

[@elizabethespejo20]

5:03 bless you!

[@MacroVisionify]

can anyone tell me who plays the song at the end of the Slint documentary ''Breadcrumb Trail''?

[@obi-wanshinobi2353]

No megadeth?

[@dartanghaneluard6156]

parquet courts: c'est cool! "r.e.m.": exceptionnel! : )

[@ryanlaurence569]

Sean with the Patti Smith single. Nice.

[@gonzaloduran5648]

Somebody make a playlist with this shit and send it my way ... I'm lazy

[@rayna8544]

Stop yes I was waiting to see if the freaking Residents would be included, yes Sean!! Your wife is wicked cool. The Rez is an all time fav.

[@atticusfinch6038]

Parquet courts is great but most of what was in their bags was weak as shit

[@ThatLadinPlaid]

I thought Andrew was Kathy Foster for a moment.

[@o.binwheelie9733]

which was the song they played as the intro? didn't recognise it.

[@chuchido1]

Innerspeaker in the background.

[@themusicaljunkie37]

God damn, this band is amazing in every way. I knew they wouldn't disappoint with their picks. I knew they were awesome the second I stumbled into "black and white" on the radio. At first I was like " this shit sounds like the fall!" And start headbanging.

[@gabrielallen3004]

+Jose Noriega (The Musical Junkie) Monastic Living...

[@holiday1149]

Does anyone else have a creeping feeling that they were stoned throughout this thing? They seemed so out of it...

[@cherchezlatrouble]

Some people are extra laconic.

[@katoness]

Whats with the Yoko Ono shit?

[@adriawa]

great residents record

[@carywhitt]

The Fall and Lightning... nuff said

[@bonhamhouse1169]

We like the same exact records! How fantastic!

[@abelramirez7320]

I love this band glad they went to amoeba

[@c.camberos6261]

Please make one with Cage The Elephant!!!

[@Gabagool93]

... Yoko? Lmao

[@twingtwang5547]

3:04

[@friendlier]

Great choices, lads!

[@SirTopDrawer]

2:20 please, does anyone know what album that is in the background? Yellow and blue symbols album cover

[@amoeba]

That's The Strokes debut record "Is This It" www.amoeba.com/is-this-it-lp-the-strokes/albums/824238/

[@SirTopDrawer]

Thanks but what about the one to the right of that

[@SirTopDrawer]

Yellow and blue Celtic symbols

[@amoeba]

Both records are Strokes records. The one on the left is "First Impressions of Earth." The yellow and blue on the right is the alternate cover for "Is This It." You might be more familiar with the original cover with the black glove on the woman's backside. Both covers are technically official and band approved.

[@SirTopDrawer]

Ah you're right, I know the glove/backside cover. Thanks Amoeba YT channel manager!

[@ltdattnspn]

forgot how great this series is.

[@bonhamhouse1169]

We like the same records!

[@arabe66]

Yoko Ono Is awful 😣. The rest Is great!

[@flowerdoodle]

these guy define derivative. Theyre good actors playing the part of Pavement

[@bonhamhouse1169]

No. Authentic dudes.

[@jacktv6363]

What is that REM song called?

[@basketcase98]

jacktv6363 Harborcoat

[@ryanpearsall1499]

YOKO is awful

[@peters5090]

jesus wats going on with andrew's hair??

[@frflinstone]

Put his finger in the mains by mistake ?

[@squinkque]

Y'know what's in my bag? Parquet Courts last album which I downloaded off of Emusic.com.

[@SleepFan771]

That guy bought a fucking Yoko Ono record. I have zero respect for him now.

[@cactaceous]

I'm pretty sure lots of people have zero respect for you.

[@JimHarrisArt]

Have you ever listened to a Yoko One record in it's entirety?

[@l.8267]

Austin seems really pretentious

[@AlexIsEducational]

same with Andrew. In every interview, they seem to have a competition

[@RAMULUS31]

lol wat, they seem like cool, genuine dudes to me

[@DannyMars37]

Why's the third dude in the back? It's like he's not a part of the band

[@GreenFlash1790]

Or how about Max; he's not there at all. I think he's shy.

[@hiimnick5]

horrible tryhard taste

[@samsoda5352]

go eat your porridge

[@bonhamhouse1169]

Try hard? “Reckoning? Disagree

[@fernandoperezbarreto7699]

bunch o' incredibly lame hipsters it goes from passable to worst at the back ..disturbing stuff...

[@flowerdoodle]

i guess im just getting old....Its guys like this that turn me off new band scenes. They like everything Malkmus likes. They have the hipster, artfully disheveled hair dos. The lingo. The stonery voices. They prolly thought long and hard the night before about what kind of artists they would pick out so as to come off in the way they wish to be percieved. Liking "the right bands" is lame. The 3rd guy who liked The Bee Gees is the only one who seemed not SO pretentious. For someone who did this "Whats in my Bag" well, see Moby and Fred Armisten. Sincere. Not trying. More mature and comfy in their own skin, perhaps. These kids are young. I forget sometimes.

[@LordishLord]

Yeah you're getting old man. A lot of new bands are great and Parquet Courts are no exception.

[@Caligula138]

Dude give me a break... I'll grant you that Stockhausen is a questionable choice. I love his lectures but music... ehhh. Parquet Courts are pretty great though.

[@MarceloHenkin]

+flowerdoodle pretentious is what you're saying. they probably have the same taste of malkmus...and so what? this is called INFLUENCE and similar preferences

[@larrydigger461]

Lol youre judging them by their music choices, because you think they judge other people by their music choices. Hypocritical

[@Bcast1997]

or maybe they already own alot of the obvious choices
