What's in my Bag videos are a blessing and a curse. I always go down another KZbin rabbit hole searching for all the music recommendations.

[@williamperez6251]

They have great taste in music. No wonder The Xx create awesome music themselves.

[@koreypaul6698]

The best artists just appreciate great music.

[@WisdomTruth305]

Damn, this band just OOZES coolness. Every pick they had was fire, and they had a diverse collection of music. No wonder they make such bangers, they have an ear for good music.

[@nija1976]

They're so adorable and Romy's smile just lights up the room

[@rabit818]

I see the connection between the xx, Erykah, Astrud, Portishead and Chromatics. Great picks.

[@unverifiedusername]

Eye In The Sky has always been my favourite APP song. Satisfying to know that Jamie and I share an extremely similar taste in music.

[@daltonlunn1653]

What a positive comment section

[@rogerNOmore]

first time since 2005, history in the making...

[@josephblumenberg6574]

Astrud Gilberto ♥♥♥

[@Zaetix]

Whoever edited this video is a damn genius. I got chills when the full song hit at 2:55, and I had never heard it before. The way the video flips to different pictures and there's a slight zoom, so simple but amazing!

[@amoeba]

Hey, thanks!

[@mabelramirez914]

I love Jamie so much

[@marijaynepowers5757]

[@tonysmith5878]

I LOVE THESE SEGMENTS BECAUSE I LOVE TO SEE OTHERS TASTE IN THE MUSIC..... GREAT PICKS BY THE WAY. I HAVE THAT GILBERTO AND CALDWELL AND THAT SIMONE!!!!!!!

[@th3thiiird3y3]

This explains their creative output. Their tastes are so swell. Badu & Chromatics in one sesh?? Cmon.

[@Bleachfann123456]

So glad that Romy picked the Chromatics vinyl. I see the similarities between the two and I'm glad they are fans!

[@stainleykubrick7665]

great picks and they're so laidback this vid is kinda soothing

[@AnK11Morrison]

I listen to The xx on and off and I cannot believe how much of the artist that I love are on their like list.

[@camd3041]

I want more XX in my life. I love hearing them in interviews.

[@bmh1992]

they're both so lovely

[@AudiophileTubes]

Great session with The XX. They have great taste in music, all around.

[@mitchellbaker9434]

Eclectic. One of the best I've seen of these.

[@solarpunkdream]

Great channel, it has a really cool insight of the inspiration and background of artists in terms of what they enjoy, very entertaining and cultural.

[@Larry...W]

Love the selections love the band

[@birdy1numnum]

I am still trying to get that gig she mentioned of *Peaches, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Distillers and Eagles of Death Metal!!* Amazing and outstanding choices - *TIMMY THOMAS!*

[@m1tsk147]

[@built2chill_]

Jamie just used an Astrud Gilberto sample on his essential mix

[@Guarlaon]

Astrud Gilberto, Badu and Portishead. GREAT choices

[@radcow]

What an amazing bag I love it when I find new stuff and even when its someone you might know they give a track or a another point of view that you might not of thought about before

[@immersed.in.darkness]

Amazing pick from this phenomenal band

[@tonysmith5878]

[@josephmorales652]

Ahh she is married now! How sweet 😍

[@lukealexander6233]

You just know Jamie is gonna sample “The Night” and it’s gonna be wonderful

[@stevebob240]

I hadn't heard that Portishead song before. I love them. Sounds straight out of a David Lynch movie.

[@kikidee3204]

Iv just discovered Nina Simone what a lady I love her can't get enough I love finding cough new jazz artists in yr rep I feel like I just found them new to me anyway I need more pairs of ears utter delights in their picks

[@Google990g]

[@carterwatson1715]

Absolutely in love with this show would love to come on it after I drop my debut album

[@aaliayahan2116]

I love The xx 💗💗💗

[@nikolademitri731]

Unfamiliar with most of their picks, but based on the samples, my god! I’m definitely going to have to check out a lot of these artists. That Nina Simone song sounds AMAZING! I adore her, but I’ve honestly never heard that one. Also, much respect for the Portishead love. No surprise that they dig them. Really, really great picks, loves! ✌🏼 Also, I had no idea that she was a lesbian.. I actually thought that these two dated, which is based completely on my imagination, and nothing else... I’m a fan of their albums, but really know nothing else about them beyond that.. That’s cool, though. ✌🏼🏳️‍🌈

[@cnwb]

Loving the Aly-Us track!

[@BernsteinOmega]

Very nice picks. I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Grant Tobgo you can always find the picks in the description box!

[@petitnicollas]

Man those were some very solid picks

[@leafbudi]

AMAZING

[@friendlyfiresyeah]

Love it 🧡

[@peter.4015]

Portishead! Great video

[@jamesjennings-yd2bc]

Nice to see Depeche Mode and Northern Soul in the mix

[@Navarro94]

I love the xx

[@j.c7719]

All the great artists love Nina Simone 💕

[@gatordontplay94]

Great picks. Wish Oliver was there too

[@datamyt3]

Great picks

[@satanoscilatemymetalicsonatas]

Astrud Gilberto 🔥🔥😍😍😍

[@vanessam954]

How did i not know they were British ... I’ve been listening to them since I was 13!

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Vanessa C beyond the accents I think their sound is very british, especially if you think of Jamie’s contributions

[@vanessam954]

PJ I feel like their sound is actually very American .. they’re too good to be American though should’ve known

[@watchmewreck-you5113]

I agree with PJ. Their look, their sound, everything about them screams British but that’s ok. I remember the first time I heard The Killers I thought they were very British and then I found out they were from Las Vegas 😉

[@vanessam954]

WatchMeWreck -YOU damn probably just me then I’m slow lol

[@ariorojas2901]

this is Project X's fault. That movie made poseurs like this band haha how come someone listens to a band and doesn't care to research where they are from hahaha

[@fabricadelmundo5753]

great!!

[@julianwidener4803]

This is great

[@D00M3R_MAVS]

Jamie has some deep musical knowledge. from his own beats to his DJ sets, always something going on. Kind of forgot about the XX though as I've listened to pretty much nothing but new wave black metal for the past 5 years (and catching up on classical tbh, I spent a lot of my life sleeping on classical music, I think as you get older you can appreciate it a lot more though. Not everything needs a wobble bassline, ha ha)

[@fish6045]

Finally 🔥🔥🔥

[@justinhenry4102]

No surprise that a band this good has killer taste.

[@d.leon.pedro.26]

Courtouis from Belgium has a good musical taste!

[@xOALtoFrEak900Ox]

i gotta get me a big ass blunt and smoke through this whole playlist.

[@michaelenglish1992]

Ahhh he saw the Gucci preFall 2017 spot with The Night.

[@TheseOpenRoads]

Legends.

[@stefanodanin]

Lovely

[@jackedkerouac4414]

Imagine Portishead dropping a 4th album and touring with The xx

[@jimmydroid7838]

I don't know who these folks are but they have awesome taste in music. Anyone who likes The Distillers is okay by me.

[@kls0110]

Jimmy Droid Romy is actually friends with Brody Dalle!

[@60oh]

oh you should listen to their music, it's great too.

[@Mowmauf]

don't really care for their first album but i love sing sing death house and coral fang

[@octoberfire13]

they are incredible! Check them out for sure. The Xx

[@MrTechselect]

60oh This is my exact impression of The XX. "wow I like this song. Let me listen to some more." "oh, so every song they do sounds like the first one I heard. oookay" and then I stop listening altogether. I'll just go listen to London Grammar.

[@robbiedelrey3924]

When was this recorded? I feel like it's probably September when they played a show in LA

[@MsPurpleStuff]

THE DISTILLERS!! :D
