Anton Newcombe looks like he's been searching for a heart of gold
remaininginlight Lolz
yeah that brownish gold..
either that or a Cinnamon girl
Nothing else to declare?
You know it..
Dwight Schrute and Neil Young's love child
Anton Newcombe, rock and roll beet farmer.
The Magnanimous oh my god, marry me.
In both looks and attitude
Big Time!!
omg😂😂😂
The best part in a video involving Anton is that he must appear in the comments section. It is always fun. Really like the guy.
I've known Anton since the Anarchy Beach days at 43rd street in Newport Beach. One of the craziest coolest artistic fun guys you'd ever meet. Last time I saw him was in at a Hollywood hills house party which neither of us was probably invited. I hadn't seen him in years since the old Anarchy Bch days. We were both on things yet we sat and talked for hours not really probably wanting to be there but he's well aware of his influence on the music scene of many types. Funny story....Anton I'm sure you don't remember this, we were all sitting in a circle one day in the sand at 43rd street and Anton walks up and sits down with a little Casio keyboard and starts singing some song and us all being punk rockers (as well as Anton) we were interested yet dismissive. He pulls out a joint and we all pass it around and a cop walks up.....Anton shoves the joint in the sand...Cop sees him do that and starts sifting through the sand hand above pouring out as we all waited to see it drop out eventually...He must have done that a dozen times and could smell it (this is '82 kids so no it wasn't legal at all) until a rock fell out of his hand and the cop grabbed it...Anton says "that wouldn't get me stoned" we all started laughing the cop got pissed knowing we were doing what he thought. "I'll be back and I'll catch you punks" as he walks away Anton pulls the joint out of his sleeve and says "Ok...where was I" the Casio started up again and so did the joint.......He never gave two shits about what you thought (I'm 100% sure still doesn't) never sacrificed integrity for selling out, believes what he believes and is unforgiving in doing so and there's very very few people in Hollywood especially that have the verve while being authentic. Lemmy Killmister also had this. Two guys very different yet the same you'll never see on Entertainment Tonight and thank fuc*ing god. Dave "nOwheRe" Marriott
"...I was joking around, y'know because i like to do things like that..."
Anton's enthusiasm for music is just infectious
This could have been like 2 hours long. Endlessly curious what Anton finds.
I have to comment about the editing in What's In My Bag videos. They are top-notch! Editor you don't get enough credit or any at all! Kudos to you!!
Thanks! We love our amazing editors and give them top billing on every episode.
Anton Newcombe contains multitudes.
A music savant and true artist who can be the nicest human being you ever met, but also the biggest jerk, often, somehow, at exactly the same time. I've never been disappointed by his work. Great WIMB picks, too.
jaybone23 really. he told me off when I went walking to see him downtown L. A. really insulting when a rock star does not respect the fans or crowd in general. Hippie Messiah poser.
anton newcombe remember in L. A. Terragram Ballroom, you called me out, I flicked you the finger. good times!
I love him. This is very true too. I fell over on my side reading your comment.
Fell on my side laughing that is.
@Jeni Coxe - Ha! No, I figured that. Thanks.
Anton seems like his head is in a better place than it had been in the past, he seems a lot more down to earth or off the smack maybe. I hope he finds peace in this life and is free from drugs. He was a big influence on me when I was younger. I hope he grew out of it too.
No I think we just understand now. Life is short, thought is fast, hard to get it out sometimes.....
Aging usually does that to you
This comment did not age well at all 😅😂
@@Goonies1985neversaydie but he still gets into fist fights on stage
@@HelloMoto393 yeah he's typically on edge when performing, at least.
it'd be awesome to get Kevin Shields on here
Yes!!

I re-watched Dig a couple months ago.. When I was 13 and I first saw it, I looked at Anton almost as a god-like figure. I was so frustrated because I felt like everyone misunderstood him. Watching it at 33 years old I felt way differently. Everyone involved just seemed endlessly pretentious and douchey. It's funny how much you change without even realizing that it's happening.
you saw it 3 years before it was released?
I literally rewatched it at 33 and thought how annoying they all were.
I’m 16 and just tried to watch it after seeing this comment Jesus you’re right had to switch it off after 5 minutes. They just seem to come across like the kind of guys who take drugs for the “spiritual enlightenment” rather then just admitting its to have fun. For gods sake I read political theory and it was too wankerish for me, I’ll stick to listening to the music and ignore I ever saw insight into the artists behind it
@@jorg7228 Dig is bullshit, the main members are all cool guys and worthy of respect as artists.
I remember watching it when I was in high school. I was a big druggy, music kid and even I thought he was a bit over his head and douchy. I still wanted to live exactly like him for some reason. I had a rough child hood and looked up to questionable people for a long time. Been off the heroin for 7 years now. Gonna go back and watch DIG! This week with a friend and we’ll see how I feel about it now.
Anton has turned into Neil Young!
Really? I would say he turned into Asimov!
@ pedro escobar: Hahaha... Is he dyeing his facial hair white? Or his hair black?
A raccoon.
Closest thing to Neil yet
there another thing he can steal
I wanted to SCREAM at the screen: ANTON JUST TURN AROUND AND GET THE BLUE JOHN FAHEY RECORD! IT'S THE BEST ONE IN THERE!
My girfriend and I literally just watched "Dig!" Super weird timing, but awesome episode! Anton hasn't changed a bit haha
Its like he literally stuck on some fake sideburns and threw on glasses. He has and hasn't aged a ton
Just keep in mind that both the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols have both been heavily critical of the movie. They both agree that it painted the BJM in a really unfair light and was unrepresentative of the actual (very mutually-caring) relationship between the bands. Still a very cool movie, but more of a movie than an actual documentary
@@musicwest9588 It made everyone look like pretentious image obsessed assholes.
Looks like hes changed a lot way less mentally ill
@@musicwest9588 interesting to hear that. I just watched it myself.
wow, what a surprise so glad he's still around, I can't believe that Anton lived through the 90's
love this guy so much because he's always just thinking about bending and blending music. music isn't static, it's always able to be changed into something new
nice to see Anton's still nicely unhinged. and weirdly obsessed with the Dandy's.
Good to see that Anton is still alive and doing what he does. Reminds me that I need to get some BJM on vinyl.
When he sings X X real off the cuff and its perfectly in key with the song ...
F'n yes. What's In My Bag has now reached it's zenith, nothing will top this. It's all lil Yatchy from here on out.
I could listen to Anton talk about music for hours. Also, loved the new BJM album.
I will always love Anton. I will never stop loving him.
So good to see Anton clean and prospering
The survivors dont sit in the sun
Dudes I’m so glad he’s alive and well to do this video even.. after watching DIG, I began to wonder what had become of him. He seems chill and rather cool in this vid 😎
Both the BJM and the Dandy Warhols came out against "Dig!" saying that it painted the BJM in an unfair light and was unrepresentative of the actual relationship between the bands. Ondi Timoner had 9yrs of footage and was basically able to edit it into whatever "story" she wanted to make. Still a cool movie, but not true-to-life. Anton never took his foot off the gas pedal and is, right now, making some of the best music i've ever heard from the BJM.
good to see Neil Young getting in touch with his roots!
Yuval Legendtofski to
yessss thank you amoeba!
Anton seems to have matured beautifully. His demeanor has more depth now than what is seen on "Dig!".
THANKS AMOEBA TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE
Great great choice, Amoeba.
clicked on this so fucking fast
burberryusb SOoooooo Fast!!!
not sure why that made me laugh so hard
i didn't thought about it. i'm broken for sure
His grudge with the Dandy Warhols, like...20 years still...I giggled so much with him. He’s such a weirdo genius nut
So many musical greats die way too young, and we loose a lot of great music that could have been. I’m really happy that never happened with Anton or the BJM. It’s so surreal watching him here in more current times. He’s exactly the same, sounds the same, just a little older and grayer. Never change Anton
John Coltrane, Moon Duo and Lee Hazelwood - quite a versatile choice of music I can identify with. Always nice to know that someone you listen to likes the same kind of shit.
A Love Supreme.. masterpiece
I'm just glad to see that Anton hasn't self destructed and made it through the darkness
I like to think if Kurt Cobain had made it through the darkness...he and Anton would share a resemblance in their older age
THIS IS MY BAND, THESE ARE MY SONGS
he's alive thank you amoeba
I wondered if Anton was a jazz fan. I've noticed BJM tracks and albums that seemed like references to old jazz songs and albums. Straight up and Down (Eric Dolphy track), This is Our Music (Ornette Coleman album)
YES!!! I didn't want this to end.
So ready to see them!
Doesn't get any better than this. I can pick the good vibes from him even from behind a screen.
Great choices Anton :) I used to listen to a lot of Herbie Mann and Roland Kirk too!
Great Antone!
You must write books…you have so much info, knowledge of all music, musicians Anton…love you.
"He was like super Joel times 1000"
haaaahaaaa classic! I love antons DJ sets.the one after this shopping trip would be hilarious!
Love the chops bro
Anton is a legend. Amazing guy.
bjm is such an amazing band they have so many cool tunes and they get no radio play
OMG that blonde redhead album ! i miss that one!!!
I cant keep track of all the new BJM stuff out lately. Best in years!
Los Dandys warhols hahah morí con esta parte, Anton !!!such a brilliant mind for music
100% dude
He's gone full dude.
Anton, musically, get's better with age.
The guy has an endless well of cool song ideas.
Great stuff.
Dig is a great doc but it makes you forget how legit he is.
I was looking for 'In Partucular' by Blonde Redhead when i was 11 years old. I'm so satisfied.
that Los Dandys record has been in the Dandy Warhols' studio for years now.
1:03 I literally heard this in the grocery store and was like, what an interesting choice to play for shoppers
Aw, happy Anton! 👌
always surprised about how much anton knows about so many different things
this is the second video of Anton at a record shop standing in front of a John Fahey record!
Thank you, Steve shelby
Looks like I should've braved the rain and went to Amoeba a few days ago, I would've bumped into A.A. again! I haven't seen Joel in there for a while, maybe he was paying him a visit? When does "Don't Get Lost" get it's release?
Best episode ever.
What a very sensible look!
Oh damn. Lee Hazlewood? That is seriously one of my favorites of all time
Long live Anton Newcomb and the BJM!
Ah, Roland Kirk, what a choice! One of my utterly appreciated jazz artist. I have no idea how many jazz records Anton have listened throughout his life, but it must be quite a lot. In fact, the guy shows _A Love Supreme_ and _The Best of Rahsaan Roland Kirk_ vinyls, those who familiar with both of them, probably knows why I'm being impressed by these picks.
_A Love Supreme_ happens to be one of the most complicated jazz records, believably so.
And pick anything from Kirk's discography, it always amazed me how vigorous it gets from each and every listen. Kirk possessed this 'free jazz' spirit wherever he goes. Blind man, who dresses like a shaman, spreads and shares his own cocaine to his audience, whilst playing with three saxophones at the same time. Nothing is more eclectic than watching Kirk's eccentric performances, making people travel to his psychedelically fueled trance-portals, such an experience! I have to get this
_I, Eye, Aye:_ Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival, from 1972 at all costs! Thanks to Amoeba for the quality content as always, and thank you Anton, for a nice remind!
Shut up
OmG Los Dandy's my moms use to rock these guys back when I was a child.......I love this band....
He can’t do anything without mentioning the dandy Warhol’s.
i knew i was missing something in my life and now i know this was it
Anton is my spirit animal 🙏
Would of been sweet him rolling up in there on his rollerblades and going around the shop thumbing through albums. Dude is a fuckin legend! Was an eclectic taste in great music and it shows in his talent and skill with many instruments etc. Great content!
shoulda got the john fahey record behind him
Best sideburns since Trevor Bolder on his Spiders From Mars days.
Been a BJM fan for many years but like the Dandy Warhols just as much.
Same here.
Anton, you're like Peter Buck (and you even look and sound like him!): a tasteful musician has great taste in music.
Anton kind of comes across like Tommy Wiseau.
Q apertura a la música ...un genio sin fronteras "los dandys"c ve q sabe.
He's a pure musical genius. BJTM makes such GOOD music it's amazing.
Lol you sound just like him… is this Anton’s secret CZcams account??
@@forrestrichard8133wtf are you talking about? Antons genius with music is WIDELY acknowledged. You can hate him as a person but there's no denying he's a musical savant
@@CancelHappiness How so? Savant? Seems like he's just making pop music. He's no jazz composer.
@@turntablesrockmyworld9315 so you have to be a jazz composer to be a genius? Lol, what absolute nonsense. Literally every single genre has its absolute greats. The fact that you don't understand the music speaks far more to your failings than the music's itself, kid.
almost everything in his bag turned out to be REALLY i nteresting. iim listening to dungen now and its insanely good
sweet chops man.
This is so f**king COOL because I was recently alerted to Anton's success in the music biz( We grew up on the same street) This is perfect as I have been looking for musicians to promote and give a shout out that have came from Costa Mesa CA, and especially from the street I grew up on! We now have a local nut job on the street that HATES live music and wants to shut down a live music venue which is located directly behind where Anton used to live and I wanna stick it to that music hatin' A-hole! LOL I am also very impressed with the shout outs on this video to John Coltrane and Roland Kirk!! My Father Tom Margitan was the first Professional Musician to hail from our old street, aJazz saxophonist and John Coltrane was his biggest influence and He was also inspired by Roland Kirk and also played 3 saxes at once. So now, we have: Anton and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, My Father's many bands and then there's me, just a local metal head with a band that's only played a couple paying gigs, we don't have a official band name, but last gig we played we were introduced as the "Laura Jones band" which it appears I can't use anymore because there can't be TWO bands hailing from Center St. With Jones in the name! LOL
I've never seen anton actually be hilarious before...i have to say i'm suprised and i kinda wanna love him for it...oh that and the vast catelogue of some of the best shit on earth
They just had another fight at The Forum here in Melbourne..😂😂
The fullness is in the flow, J’ai Guru Dev.
Anton sure is fascinating, a brilliant musical mind nonetheless.
love those grey chops
Still cant believe he listens to Dungen❤
Wow, he has turned into the Radiator Lady!!
Anton Newcombe jams to blonde redhead.
Hell yeah..
What's the name of the song that plays at the intro?
What's the dungen song they play in the vid?
Can't believe they managed to get H. Jon Benjamin to do the voice of Anton, good choice!
What a smart and musical guy!
MAD GENIUS
Surprise he didnt start a fight
Wait.. he's known to be a brawler??
@@unsound7777 Check the documentary "Dig!". If you're into BJM and Dandy Warhols you'll love it.. or hate it.
He's a lot more mellow these days it seems
What song is playing in the background at 3:06? sounds nice.
Equally Damaged by Blonde Redhead. It's the opening track from that record he chose: Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons.
thanks, love it!
Tiago S. my favorite BR album
opening for them in Dallas yesssssss
What was that song in the opening bit?
