I miss this band so much. I hope they make music together again soon...

[@terrypussypower]

I DJed with Richard D. James in my bedroom back in 1993 and he gave me a promo CD copy of his first LP! And the next day his Dad called and left a nice message on my Ansaphone (which I still have!) thanking us for the hospitality! How cool is that!

[@heavy_yawns]

Starting out with Run the Jewels and Aphex Twin, yep, this is a good one.

[@szyramm]

Ayse and Fay are so adorable

[@circ-d]

Savages are so amazing live. I love how Aphex Twin makes the list on many of the artists featured on Amoeba; such a powerful influence. This is such a great series, it helps get into what makes the artists tick and what they're all about. I'd love to see Skinny Puppy featured here, or some other goth/industrial artists. (granted the Peter Murphy and Gary Numan ones are pretty awesome!)

[@amoeba]

Great to hear! We'll look into getting Skinny Puppy on.

[@SleepFan771]

Run the Jewels, Thelonious Monk, and Chelsea Wolfe?! I'm in love!

[@WolfataDoor]

My god the drummer from this band is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Stellar picks too.

[@vajrasiddhi]

Totally

[@ElectricTatersFTW]

i could listen to them talk all day

[@derekandres5940]

uow I love this band and they are amazing live.Please bring Joanna Newsom and Fiona Apple

[@AleMaya]

the happy couch and the dark couch

[@Luke.hello.]

that BMO lunchbox was too cute!

[@nicolasbertin8552]

You should watch Gerry by Gus Van Sant. Best use of Arvo Pärt Fur Alina ever. Not a romantic thing. Just two guys losing themselves both physically and mentally in Death Valley. Obviously Fur Alina wasn't meant for this. But the void between and inside the notes reflects on the void of Death Valley. Having been there, you can feel how the notes would hang there and be transported by the wind, completely intact. Such an underrated movie.

[@TheBomber15]

Must be very bright in there folks! But on a side note; Richard D. James Album, what a pick, that's my respect earned. Not to mention her inclusion of Steve Reich.

[@m.mariusmassett4425]

These women have amazing taste.

[@sargenthouse]

New Savages record is FANTASTIC!! Great picks from you all around

[@bobsbigboy_]

+Sargent House It sucks. Their previous record was better

[@73kdt]

Love that Gemma is into The Amazing Chelsea Wolffe

[@glennsilvaable]

I love Savages, amazing band!

[@MarcoPickSB]

straight outta the matrix

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

If I was in this show I would pick like a copy of Limp Bizkits Chocolate starfish and the hotdog whatever the name was and a blue ray version of independence Day and then give somo esoterical explanation of both just to mess with people's head.

[@Francisah]

These What's In My Bag segments take place in the matrix?

[@YodaZemunski]

+Francisco Santiago Glad I'm not the only one who noticed :)) Trinity

[@masonmcglynn3529]

ooo

[@skyfox490]

Flea? Krist Novoselic? You seem a little bitter

[@skyfox490]

You piece of shit

[@dougsworld7533]

aww

[@themagnanimous1246]

This band just oooozes that classic "cool" vibe

[@gloryholebutforholdinghands]

Sunglasses indoors = hangover

[@bobsbigboy_]

+Maximilian Gallant = pretentious bullshit

[@dougsworld7533]

earned the right to look like a dumb insecure hipster ?

[@dougsworld7533]

I really don't lol

[@schwarzblatt]

Or high.

[@emmaduncan2991]

British girls in L.A. massive hangovers, and possibly regretful hook up's

[@JunkyardGod89]

Never heard these guys before, but after the beginning/ending clips and the RTJ/Aphex/Arvo Part/Wolfe picks, I will now!

[@scruffyp9480]

This is just what I'd expect them to pick lol

[@TurkeyGobbleRants]

You guys should get Alicia Bognanno from Bully to come on once their tour is over!!!

[@amoeba]

+TurkeyGobble Rants Great idea. We'll see if we can make it happen.

[@annamarcuzzi7535]

Still love you so much after all these years.... one of the best band after Joy Division with a kind of tom boy JEHNNY BETH.... love you all ;

[@Luminik_GG]

If you haven't seen Savages live, do it, do it now! Even in those awful multi-stage venues like Pitchfork where it's the middle of the day and hot. Everyone I could see around me was either lost in dance or utterly captivated by what they were doing on stage. You couldn't help but smile because it was madness!!

[@AzzaOGY]

didn't realise I could love these women any more - now my love is double!

[@severinseverin268]

A woman that likes Crumb. Stunning.

[@davidrowe762]

Please get Anthony Fantano or Myke C Town on this

[@horseshoulder]

No.

[@late_privktorian_era]

+David Rowe How about No..

[@davidrowe762]

TheTurtlemans lol why not

[@davidrowe762]

late privktorian era whats your problem with them?

[@lelong2437]

+Stephen Smith define Art :~)

[@Bandstand]

I'm waiting for that Amoeba playlist on Spotify...........

[@amoeba]

+Bandstand We're still looking at how this might work and we're not sure it would be on Spotify. Any other preferred streaming spots for you all?

[@Bandstand]

Amoeba Apple Music would be cool.

[@heatherrowe485]

+Amoeba cymbal

[@pedrofaria7451]

+Bandstand beutiful talented women like it

[@turbofox23]

+Amoeba Soundcloud?

[@NealDamiano]

Good on you for the Cassavetes box set!!

[@exortium2827]

Arvo Part is my biggest influence. It's nice to see how far his influence reaches.

[@vardothefirst]

Jehnny looks so badass.

[@samsoda5352]

Wow, I always knew she was uber sexy, but I had no clue Jehnny Beth had a sexy accent too. Anyways, love the band, and the picks were really interesting.

[@KodakKid]

Fay is perfection in every sense.

[@vokasimid5330]

So beautiful

[@wowimaoi]

that Cassevetes set is going fast! As it rightfully should.

[@Sidorenkodima]

Great taste, nice choices

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

Arvo Pärt (we say it as "pyart"), awesome, he's from my country :D

[@k-m___]

OH MY GOD THIS WAS AMAZING ARGH ARGH ARGH

[@reymontcantil199]

love the art school pics! & new savages record is out!

[@CAHall-nq2cd]

Funny how Savages and Ibeyi mentioned 3 of the same artists: Nina Simone, John Cassavettes and John Coltrane.

[@robertbodle2354]

what a cool band. all these picks are supercool and the reasons for them.

[@anthonychilds8193]

Seems like the rhythm section is fun and the singer & guitarist are very serious. Band is great live i'm happy to say.

[@Neel-ff4mn]

Seeing them pick up RDJ and Chelsea Wolfe is a real treat.

[@neonatalpenguin]

These are some really good records, but I feel like it would be a bit of a drag to hang out with these people for any great length of time.

[@mr.cifuentes1779]

neonatalpenguin How so?

[@neonatalpenguin]

I can't remember. I wrote this comment 5 months ago.

[@eatmykwad]

awesome people :)

[@cockadoodee]

More Ayse and Faye please!

[@GyroLamb]

Anyone knows what brand/style of glasses they are wearing?

[@vajrasiddhi]

One of the best WIMB sessions!

[@somekid7]

I love Jehnny Beth's taste the most, but I get the feeling she didn't end up loving that Ornette Coleman album. I wish I could tell her to check out Freddie Hubbard - Sing Me A Song of Songmy which she might love. Maybe I'll try to reach her through social media.

[@spensert4933]

Best one so far. Ornette and Cassavetes FTW.

I liked this video before I got to watch it. 😊

[@nicholaskeefe5335]

Absolute respect for picking the 'Richard D. James Album', and she's absolutely right. Genuinely one of the best records of all time in my opinion too.

[@nickfromCO]

i thought these vampire ray ban commercials were finished in the 90s?

[@monjesenal7477]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@looksdirty]

I love these women...

[@moozycla6]

They look like a cool wealthy junkies from Manhattan. All these lennon's, wet hair, the way they talk, and the music taste speaks for it all. Also, I can't leave it unnoticeable, - camera man did a good fucking job, also, shout out to editor, and *Amoeba* itself!

[@IZ-ek6gz]

Will you guys please get Kendrick Lamar to do What's in my bag? He lives in the L.A. area I believe. If you can make it happen it'd be awesome.

[@amoeba]

+israel medrano We'd jump at the chance to have him on the show. It would be awesome. We'll see what's possible.

[@chrisharmon6892]

what is the eletronic album at 8:25? I cant make out her pronunciation, it sounds like "nikola colomri, repetitive jazz obsession?"

[@chrisharmon6892]

nm found it www.discogs.com/Barbir-Nicola-Kazimir-Repetitive-Juxtaposition/release/6771627

[@kasandrapopiel5731]

+chris harmon tnx!

[@LucasFloriped]

+chris harmon ye , i was searching for that too! hahaha thanks

[@fistwizard2552]

Jenny likes R. Crumb and Adventure Time. This is a cool fucking band.

[@nickguyone]

Jehnny likes adventure time that's so fucking cool hahaha

[@lacadam]

WHY DOES NO ONE EVER GO "Oh here is a normal record that everyone knows but I like it a lot and I want it on vinyl". I've never seen anyone ever pick something not obscure. "oh here is the new arcade fire, I like it a lot" NAhhhhhhhhh, here is some Tibetan throat singing

[@paddyboomvideos]

Watch the Duran Duran whats in my bag. Plenty of obvious choices

[@kevinryan1359]

because theyre pretentious hipster commie scum

[@perrap79]

Right!! I cant fucking stand these.

[@tumericvalley6749]

making me re live chelsea wolfe thanks to your amazing taste yasaaa! your all legends btw woop

[@yabdelm]

great shades... anybody know where i can get the ones at 2:11? actually both of their shades are awesome

[@mxrkxo]

yeah i also came to the comment section to know.

[@rachelboone3543]

aaahh this might be a stretch since he's from philly but if you guys could get alex g on what's in my bag i'd be eternally grateful

[@bitchoflivingblah]

Yep me and Fay Milton have exactly the same taste. Hope she's on Match.com

[@messthetics]

I've often wondered, do they have to pay for the stuff or do Amoeba give it to them?

[@AlexGordonMusic]

This band was the greatest band in history For 10 minutes

[@RobertFantinatto]

Hoping they would have talked about the copy of Morton Subotnick's The Wild Bull that was sitting on the couch...a fantastic recording!

[@Neel-ff4mn]

JENNY! BETH! WHEN!

[@KittenFlower66]

I want to hear Gemma talk about Arvo Pärt for 5 hours minimum

[@SkeeterNYC]

If you like Chelsea Wolfe then check out Rykarda Parasol and Fever Ray.

[@remaininginlight]

I wear my sunglasses at night.

[@Hanselito]

Each segment is like yin and yang

[@gabe3623]

You should try to get Weezer on

[@CrackheadOwen]

love arvo part

[@bmf60118]

Love this because I'm an RTJ fan that's constantly trying to turn people on to Savages.

[@WolfataDoor]

Faye

[@marcochasse2648]

You should get Kerry and George of Deafheaven or Jeremy of Touche Amore

[@crockerjon176]

Where's SWA-"Seals With Antlers?"

[@urgfswallows]

I'm gonna show my age here but oh well. The lead singer reminds me of Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries.

[@JJJameson.]

Everybody wants to be Patti Smith

[@kenmotley5316]

Four "stunning" women! And they play great music too!

[@muarifsumahar9139]

Women with obscure taste. Love Jehnny!

[@gazfunk]

I guess they already have all the Siouxsie & the Banshees albums.

[@Luka-qm6le]

yes, because all female fronted post punk bands sound the same...

[@gazfunk]

No they don't.

[@yb32]

the girls in the sunglasses are giving me late 90's vibes.

[@urgfswallows]

+yb Back then it was an acceptable trend. Now it just looks pretentious.

[@Snaveltong]

Fur Elise is not by arvo part

[@robertsparling917]

Why is this video black and white like you did with Nameless Ghoul from Ghost?

[@amoeba]

+Robert Sparling The band presents themselves in black and white imagery quite often, so in the interest of honoring their aesthetic we presented the video this way. We also like having a bit of variety in the look of the series.

[@markdarnell614]

I LOVE THESE LADIES!!! Arvo Part! Terry Reilly!, Steve Reich!...Nina Simone! Coltrane! and Ornette!!!? Jesus! - never meet women like this in the States, except NYC, and maybe New Orleans...

[@spamspaz]

Great choices, except for Adventure Time.

[@lilsleeper777]

What's the album with the guy with the Jack Nicholson face?

[@ertertwert1]

+TheMaxSquared its the album "richard d. james album" by Aphex Twin. nice album

[@nicholaskeefe5335]

'Richard D. James Album' by Aphex Twin. My favourite album of all time. Absolutely incredible. Check it out.

[@MrChrisStingray]

How adventurous!

[@JilmM7936]

I didn't know K.D. Lang was in Savages.

[@yixuanliu6346]

opening night: im 65 how old are you?

[@McSwift]

I don't think they could've gathered four better examples of walking cliches in one room.

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

1:41 thinking of Beethoven there ;)

[@kathrynurushadze8331]

which film director is Jehnny Beth talking about?

[@amoeba]

John Cassavetes.

[@kathrynurushadze8331]

Amoeba Thank you))

[@pimpleneck79]
