The New Pornographers - What's In My Bag?

[@santiagobenites]

What's In My Bag has got to be one of the best things to ever be put on KZbin. Love The New Pornographers!

[@31TV_TX]

I love that they left the bickering in the video, lol. Like those two probably irritate the other dude all the time

[@perspicaciouscritic]

Thanks, again, Amoeba, for editing this episode so as not to hear the interviewer's voice till the end. The video just flows so much better. And some good finds from the band!

[@erikchagas00]

I’ve been listening to their new album constantly. I’m so happy to find out they dig a lot of Brazilian music, as I am Brazilian! The New Pornographers for the win!

[@adrenalinejunkie4788]

It's a wonderful album. Just like the band's previous eight albums! 😎

[@mickd22]

Carl is the reason I got into Brazilian music 15 years ago. He’s always been a huge proponent of tropicalia.

[@homefromtheforest]

Always loved Carl’s dry sense of humour..since shopping at Scratch records with him behind the counter to those early gigs with Superconductor and Zumpano ❤

[@tudormiller887]

I ❤ this band. Watching from London UK.

[@christinadtla2196]

Thank you for this. Some of my hometown heroes. Mass Romantic came out around the time I left Vancouver… no better ‘send off’ than that. Saw them years later at Union Transfer in Philly

[@adrenalinejunkie4788]

Elite band. AC is a good a songwriter as anyone I’ve ever heard. Kathryn is such a genuinely lovely person.

[@arpaddanos9416]

Nice to see Melenas make an appearance here - was not expecting that. They are great. Also cool to see Ellington at Newport, that was later considered his big comeback. For the music of Brazil, people should check out the musical movement from Minas (called corner club) led by Nascimento, Borges, and Guedes. It is otherworldly

[@mickd22]

Club de Esquina

[@EffingtonCouldBe]

6:34 - can't you just hear "If u want my body and u think I'm sexy, come on baby let me know" - - Rod's tune was 2 years later!

[@StanleyCullerEsq.]

Hey, A.C., thank you so, so much for turning me onto Liam Kazar! All the best!

[@quasiotter]

Easily one of my favourite episodes, but they are one of my favourite bands so I might just be biased!

[@hashkeeper]

DUDE. I LOVE these guys. I'm so glad to hear their suggestions. Thank you thank you

[@peterarendt7283]

These people are hilarious. I love this awkward interaction 4:20

[@xTheOxx]

Mars Audiac Quintet is low-key one of the very best albums ever made. Peak Stereolab in my opinion.

[@vicenteparedesmellado3198]

fantastic album even though the last track is the only one that's a bit disappointing

[@charlieo.possum5501]

Yo, I scored that Grace Slick album at a thrift store years ago, great one!

[@csblack72780]

I'd never encountered Liam Kazar before, but just pre-ordered the LP. This is amazing; thanks folks!

[@davidellis5141]

Nice Stereolab ! The Groop 😎

[@tombombara]

It was Paul Gonsalves taking chorus after chorus on Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue that caused the "riot" at Newport in 1956. It was evidence that the Ellington band was still relevant after all those years.

[@dinosaursr]

Very nice Brazilian stuff chosen. Stereolab is so good. Would love to sit and have coffee with those three people.

[@dennistokarsky1176]

Class band. Class choices.

[@vaelethun]

NO WAY, I was thinking this morning how NP was never on WIMB, and lo and behold...so happy now.

[@carltwidle9046]

If a record is low priced, it doesn't mean it's not good. It's because it's something that alot people don't know about. So it's harder to sell.

[@Paranormalhunters37]

To be fair I think Carl was just being funny

[@ChicoCabra]

I never thought I'd see Carl Newman with a Melenas record ini his hands. They're amazing Oh, and N=/=Ñ

[@mjulio71]

Santa Claus enjoys great music during his off-season 😁 Great selection in general by each one!

[@chinaphone]

Their Reggae and Brazilian game is strong! Love the Duke as well.

[@fionaflo123]

Couldn't find a better Dub LP than the. King Tubby Meets........ Expodoocious Yeah!!!!!!

[@conradpoos2859]

Wow, what fantastic taste.

[@MsBeckly]

That Cate Le Bon record is so good

[@Maw0]

I've never heard of these people before, but I enjoyed this interview.

[@reporeport]

such a great band

[@AllMediaReviewsPodcast]

this is nice, although I was curious if Neko Case was going to show up as well.

[@kidkique]

You can tell Liam that beck already done all that

[@theprecipiceofreason]

John Collins is a very interesting music purveyor and musician

[@verylegalverycool]

Yeah he’s extremely skilled at what he does, I wish he’d start producing rap albums. Perhaps Flocka’s comeback record.

[@thekeywitness]

Great band. Interesting choices.

[@seattlebeard]

Pointed Sticks: "Marching Song" is one of the best Power Pop songs of all time. Make sure it's from the "Perfect Youth" album. The one he held up is not their best album.

[@tonysmith5878]

I LOVE VINYL.

[@monkeyface_handsome]

There are practically a million bands in existence. I'm forever on a mission.

[@brooksdurham8244]

These are great various picks too can see how all these have influenced their music 🎶

[@AdrianMarquez-mn7ox]

Yeah, Jorge Ben Tropical is a great classic, and he pronounced quite name his name.

[@Chargers4Life76]

love the spiritualized purchase

[@GrumblingGrognard]

King Tubby & Augustus Pablo is an all-time great. Seek-out more Augustus Pablo, you cannot go wrong: East of the River Nile, Valley of Josaphat... Ire

[@OhJonahII]

Really like John's hoodie. Anyone know where it's from?

[@anapaulatillman.6133]

Like the Brazilian influences on my favourite band. The music down there is a whole other world. Try some Milton Nascimento, Seu Jorge, and Mamonas Assassinas.

[@cleaningmyroom1000]

John Collins is really cool

[@erinfield1943]

Damn that woman has a kick-ass skincare regimen.

[@stack_of_records]

Great picks!

[@newtonmichael]

Do the artist have to pay for the merchandise that they've picked? If so is there a price limit?

[@Andyface79]

Cluster and Eno is an underrated record! Great choice, I think of it as among the best Eno records and doesn't seem to get much love. Great call on the song "Baby," I love the Os Mutantes version, I should check this one out too.

[@jejelad]

Same with the Harmonia & Eno LP

[@hvyhttrs]

some nice digs frfr

[@Usiris23]

I’m not sure why but the mic is throwing me off a little.

[@TerryVibes]

Great stuff..

[@theskippie5458]

As made famous by Hunter’s “That one night”. At least he’s an artist.

[@rofflestomp684]

So we are gtting bit olderer. All good.

[@umokwhy2830]

Yeah looking at them looking like they will be collecting social security sooner than not makes me feel old since I been listening to them since 2002... Man time flies

Dan Bejar should be next!

[@tonysmith5878]

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PRICE OF A RECORD. SOME OF THE BEST STUFF FOUND IS UNDER PRICED PEOPLE.... DON'T BE FOOLED. USE YOUR DIGGING SENSE ON SOME OF THIS STUFF. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE THOUGHT IT WASN'T DOPE ENOUGH FOR A HIGH PRICE, MEANS NOTHING.

[@jeffwright1528]

I didn't realize Dan Bejar is that old.

[@gilbertwashburn7095]

I like that Grace Slick album I met her way back in the day I got her autograph and a kiss she's a good kisser🙃

[@bioglassmusic]

probably one of my top favourite bands. Well I liked Zumpano way way better. I think I still listen to Look What The Rookie Did once or twice a month.

[@AutomaticForTheCollector]

Man, that Zumpano record was awesome! I just remembered it tonight after seeing The 5th Dimension did a song called "Rosecrans Blvd." I somehow held it in my memory that Zumpano did a song called that, and it was the same song! Now, I'm gonna be revisiting the whole "Look What the Rookie Did" album...a classic!

[@bioglassmusic]

@@AutomaticForTheCollector the songs are so firkin catchy! I dig you, Party Rages On, She's a full blooded Sicilian, Jeez-Louise. regularly get stuck in my head randomly.

I would dearly love to hear the New Pornographers cover Real Thing by the Pointed Sticks. Why has this not happened yet?

[@matureyoungman]

Thank goodness Bejar didn't shoot them in a driveby on their way out.

[@Adrianovaz2007]

Your comment reminded me of something: Bejar was never in a WIMB as well. Time to fix that Amoeba!

[@matureyoungman]

@@Adrianovaz2007 it'd be cool if beige didn;t choose eno et al. but tina turner and other random pop divas

[@Adrianovaz2007]

@@matureyoungman Dan would pick some obscure singer songwriters and very popular yacht rock/sophisti-pop from the late 80s I bet

Laser Guided Melodies is many times better than Let It Come Down.

[@Jeremy-th5pt]

Sort of. Stoked. Really beautiful. King tubby (catnip for hipsters). NPR. Soft spoken.

[@vinyl_hug795]

why they have this name? does anybody knows?

[@crosstownrivalry]

It's based on a quote from the televangelist Jimmy Swaggart who said, "Rock and roll is the new pornography."

[@JeffD.A]

It's also catchy.

[@greenjude]

Well based on these picks I can see why this band doesn't rock any more. Shame, but at least we have several great (early) albums.

[@LavendLady]

Really not a fan of their band name and more than likely will not like their music either.

[@adrenalinejunkie4788]

Obviously without giving them a try and a decent hearing, LL, you will never know. The name is not intended to be taken literally - see Jonathan's comment above.
