I knew he was into punk. I've seen a bunch of pictures of him with punk icons and wearing band shirts. He just designed a killer poster for Off! ,one of my favorite bands. This was installment was definitely an echo chamber for me. I am excited about the Warsaw release. When I was a kid I was obsessed with Joy Division and was fascinated with the Warsaw cuts.
Sharing this vid with my 16 year old, The Clash is her all time favorite band. We visited Hollywood a couple months ago and walked into Amoeba with her grandma in tow. My dear retired librarian mom was absolutely overwhelmed in there and wanted to leave asap haha. Have to admit we were overwhelmed with the selection too and of course I didn't have our list of must-have records on me so we didn't know where to start. In a rush I grabbed Blitzen Trapper's Furr and Andrew Bird's Echolocations: River. Needless to say, wish we'd had a lot more time in there. Mom put the pressure on bc she knew we'd be there hours if she didn't. Hope we get to return someday.
"Hi, I'm Shepard Fairey. I used to criticize the US Government with satirical propaganda - and now I just straight up make *actual* propaganda for the US Government."
Also, huge shout out to Shepard for letting his daughters listen to what they want to listen to. I can't stand those hipsters that force their music on their kids. Let them have their thing!
His points about the vinyl experience are so great, and I'd add that it really helps/forces you to listen to something as an album, and not in chunks or on shuffle - you're listening to it as the artist intended by how they sequenced it. I also remember as a kid finding so much great music and discovering I loved an artist because I would buy a CD based on one song I liked. It really is the ultimate music lover's experience!
Wow, it’s almost what I would have enjoyed. (But the idea of having Combat Rock before Give ‘em enough Rope & London Calling & Sandinista was a bit depressing). Props for The Damned. They were the first & the still are a great live & recording band. Not sure how old his daughters are, but keep playing the best songs & they will catch on, mine always had good taste, but was somewhat influenced by the Meme music. Luckily she grew out of it. I love this mans work & I have a lithograph.
I noticed that, but maybe there were rights issues. The message in what he was saying isn't damaged, I'm sure Shepard Fairey would have said the same about Carti.
To be fair, if I did a What's In My Bag episode, I'd pick the ones I want to talk about the most. When I go into a record store for real my favorite things to buy are the weird compilations and stuff like that but I wouldn't know what to say about most of it. lol
@@bmorris5863 that might have been the most Americancentric remark I'll ever read in the comment section of a video put out by Amoeba, a record store that invites almost exclusively vapid nobodies of artists who go out of their way to show the most exotic 'foreign' music nobody has ever heard of in order to seem *unique* and *original*
Shepard Fairey is that guy from high school who wanted to be cool but wasn't so he did the opposite of everything the cool kids were doing and thought that made him cool.
3:48 please... Blur and Oasis don't owe the kinks shit. Hey I love the Kinks... But "This is a Low" by Blur and "Supersonic" Oasis, has nothing to do with the Kinks.
@@mitchclark1532 not really... especially since "you really got me" wasn't even out until 1965. And the only reason the Kinks exist is because of the british invasion because of the beatles. And on the original comment about blur and oasis the beatles were WAY more impactful than the kinks. Punk music, ya... the kinks played a roll.
Playing records is "pleasurably inconvenient" - Nice way of putting it
“Pleasurably”....COMMERCIAL!....”inconvenient”
Whenever I'm running out of music I binge a few amoeba vids and replenish my playlists.
when he started talking about The Clash, I'M ALL FOR IT!!!
swear that shepard is just elon musk's twin who did art instead
This is the first ‘What’s in my Bag’ that I can fully get behind.
It's actually one of the first that I disliked.
Really?? That's shocking. You obviously haven't seen too many.
Weenis.
@@rphanmurphy8385 Why is it shocking that he hasn't seen that many?

I love his explanation for the London Calling choice. He can articulate why he loves it perfectly.
Awesome perspective on the importance of vinyl and record players.

I was already a huge fan of his art work; now that i know that he's a huge Clash and Damned fan... wow much respect!
this was a great episode - love what he said at the end about records
I'LL NEVER RUN OUT OF MUSIC. THERE IS JUST WAY TOO MUCH MUSIC OUT THERE TO DIG FOR.
turns out we have very similar tastes, especially love the can and joy division picks.
very cool guy.
didn't know matt damon was such a punk fan
I get more French Stewart vibes from him.
...I like these album transitions.
Thank you Amoeba..we rock🤘
The Clash, Kinks, Warsaw and then THE DAMNED! maan I have new found respect for Shepard. Fuck Yeah.
I think he'll be suprised how different that Can LP to the rest of their catalogue but seeing how punky the rest of his selection is, he'll dig it
He has great taste---exactly the kind of stuff I like!
A truly amazing dude.
"pleasurably inconvenient" is what everyone aches for these days. extra steps and physical touch. the experience of a process
Great music selection by Fairey.
I had a feeling the clash would come up before I clicked on this..
I recommend people to check out Shepard Fairey's episode on Crate Diggers where he talks about and shows off his record collection.
"Hi, I'm Shepard Fairey. I used to criticize the US Government with satirical propaganda - and now I just straight up make *actual* propaganda for the US Government."
Please do Orville Peck when he returns from Europe!
We're hoping to when he performs at Amoeba Hollywood on Aug 12. Stay tuned!
Amoeba omg omg omg!
SAME HERE BRUTHA....NO MATTER HOW FAR WE GET WITH TECHNOLOGY..... I'M STICKING WITH VINYL.
i am instantly a fan of this guy, based on the good things he said about The Clash.
Shepard rules!
Also, huge shout out to Shepard for letting his daughters listen to what they want to listen to. I can't stand those hipsters that force their music on their kids. Let them have their thing!
As a rule, if you try to force kids to like something, they'll hate it.
I gotta get that Warsaw record
Exactly what i thought he would suggest.
You had me at The Clash 💀🖤
The Clash had me at the Clash!!
This is probably the best "What's in my Bag?" IMHO.
Very good episode 👌
Hello Amoeba! Have you got anything planned with Angel Olsen?
Please bring Steven Wilson or Mikael Akerfield.
Really like the fact that you don't bring only musicians.
Keep it up!
CAN IS DOPE...HARD TO FIND O.G.'S OF THAT STUFF AROUND BOSTON.
what a selection!
FUCKING LOVE WARSAW!
Always liked Shepard such a knowledgeable dude.
The legend!!
cool selection, the man knows his stuff.........
Warsaw sounds great in that LP
I dig this cat. Also we REALLY need an Al Jourgensen what's in my bag.
I know he really loves Air Supply and Christopher Cross.
FUCK YEAH WARSAW (joy divisions) early years
Awesome Bag...No trendy beard either.....I have a Mission Of Burma boxset with etched art on bsaide by Shepard 8 records
Great picks, great episode (as always).
Good knowledge.
Yes, Shepard Fairey!!!!
Nice selection
Well, okay.
I will *obey* his playlist.
go to bed dad
Dude didn’t even pick THEY LIVE?
It's not What's In Rory's Bag
good episode. do jack nicholson or louie anderson.
Awesome
damn, he is almost 50yo... looks great!
Anybody else see Stephen Colbert at 5:30?

Also rolling a spliff on a CD cover is shit .
Yeesh.
Get Harley Poe’s Joe Whiteford in store and on the show!!!
One of things on my bucket list is to one day meet Shepard Fairey. #Obey
mentions lil yacht but only plays cartis part...this guy has 2 murals in my city
Great choice, very likeable guy. Tidy.
Once I found out who he was.
"What the fuck does he think he has done?"
“Never need to listen to Lil Yachty again”, well fucking said. I’ll drink to that.
SHEP, The Giant MultiMedia Creator, at it again at omeba!
His picks were pretty much what you'd think they'd be. Lol.
is that stephen colbert in the audience at 5:33?
sure is
... pass?
thanks for the lecture on the clash

what's in shepard fairey's bag? other people's ideas
👌🏾😎👊🏾
Intro song??
Some old school that may have been re- sampled. It's on the edge of my brain but I can't find it.
You're welcome.
It's called "Walk on by", by Issac Hayes.
Likes can but hasnt heard delay?
You're not allowed to like a band until you've heard everything they've done?
Get Steve Jones
THAT TO ME IS LIKE LISTENING TO CHICKEN'S CLUCKING IN STEREO.... WHILE TIED UP UPSIDEDOWN....LIL YACHTY?????????? NOOOOOOOOO..
7:34 is no one going to mention how that was Carti and not Yachty ... 🤦🏻♂️
I noticed that, but maybe there were rights issues. The message in what he was saying isn't damaged, I'm sure Shepard Fairey would have said the same about Carti.
@@OBFLife You're sure? lol
great way to represent were dying off..........
Shepard Fairy is the ultimate sell out shill, don’t be like Shepard.
"You can only sell out if people are willing to buy in."
I wish I could sell out.
Fairey stea;s art and refuses to pay for it.
"Orthodox Punk"..... Oxymoron, I think....
Haha I think he means that old basic 3-chord stuff that Ramones and early hardcore bands did.
How did I know this would be pretentious as fuck.
I guess I’ll be the asshole: this selection was basic as hell.
That Karen O and Danger Mouse is awful
What's in my Bag? I'm not sure it's Brand New.
*Mother Station, Brand New Bag* Band out of Memphis.
😁
Cool you got a bunch of stuff you have already known about for years, and reminded us that you made it big by ripping off other peoples work.

who ?
skypjuh just listen 🙄

@@N3ukenInD3K3uken that's the most stupid thing I have ever heard in my life, i'm sorry dude but you're a hole in the air
@@N3ukenInD3K3uken shit dude the clash are so exotic.
Pretty Decent,Kinda Punk/Hipster Normie type picks but still some great stuff nonetheless!!!
Why should people only talk about obscure stuff?
Lame
Shepard Fairey is that guy from high school who wanted to be cool but wasn't so he did the opposite of everything the cool kids were doing and thought that made him cool.
More like he knows that everyone who buys into the concept of "cool" is, by default, inherently uncool.
@@ariescustom Precisely! Well said..
@Bleek Chain Yep and swims in his money bin from it every night.
Never trust the "cool" kids in school, they often peak then and there.
It seems like he just does whatever he wants
Ladies and Gents, one of the biggest sellouts of our time;
Mmm woah they are scraping the barrel lately.

Pretty much every rock band since 1964 has had something to do with the Kinks
