For some reason I used to give more attention to Thurston, probably just because he presents himself that way - but Lee is the real icon.
they can both be icons?
It's interesting to see their work now that they are solo artists and what they each brought to the band. Personally I prefer Lee's albums over Thurston's but I like the both.
They all are. Thurston is just the Leo 😂
And imo the real unsung hero is Steve 🎉
All of them are icons. Without thurston’s guitar playing SY would sound like a complete different band. Both are two of the most original guitarists in the history of rock music. They completed each other.
@@chaunceyloveshack9530both are great but people these days are obsessed with shitting on TM all the fucking time for some reason
Much as I love Thurston, Lee has always been my favorite SY guy. Cracks me up to see him buying No New York. I'd figure everyone in the band has heard it a million times, but then, it doesn't really get old.
I've heard around that Thurston was a bit of a dick.
Buying it for the third I think he says - it keeps wearing out or getting stolen - Hell I only heard about it for the first time last week in an old copy of _Uncut_ - and I wanted it! But being in New Zealand does add difficulty - by the way Flying Nun is still going strong!! flyingout.co.nz/
and flyingout.co.nz/collections/flying-nun-records
Everyone has heard it a million times.
@@AFaceintheCrowd01well thats a stretch
I love Lee Ranaldo, I love this Amoeba series and I love the woman who walks into the shot at 4:58.
DiddlesHPatricide what woman?
sratus Sorry! I meant 4:48. The woman in the green jacket who walks into the shot, realizes she's done so and then makes a classic "Oops!" face.
Ahhh ha how did I miss that? Brilliant
super cute.
Lol
What’s in your bag ? + Show me your junk . = best fkng things on the Internet .
Agreed. I just finished watching both Lee eps and am going to post them and rewatch.
Oh god if I was shopping at Amoeba and Lee Ranaldo showed up, I'd go insane.
Huge shout out to Lee for mention Flying Nun. They're such an underrated music label. NZ has a huge and amazing music scene. Shout out Dust Up Records
I've always felt like Lee would make the most wonderful uncle
Lee has GREAT taste in music ! but how could i be surprised considering he is a member of the great Sonic Youth ! :-))
I want Lee to be my best friend.
Same here!
Lee is literally the best guy ever:)
Woah, this comment was four years ago. I even met Lee, had his autograph and a photo with him when he came to Perú in 2018 :')
@@nicolasmrn i'm really glad for that, envy you man:)
@@pavelelkin6254 watch the nardwuar interview
I love that part where the woman accidentally walks into the shot at 4:48.
That was actually performance art...
OH YEAH well that was my LEAST favorite part
I absolutely love these "Whats in my bag" videos. They help me when im at the record store just like the grocery store and have no clue what to get. And Lee is cool too
No New York still blows my mind, and I've had my copy for 40 years now !!
Lee showing his love for Flying Nun Records and the Dunedin sound is based as fuck. New Zealand pride!!
Lee wrote the song mote, nuff said
And Wish Fulfillment
@ShRed Vines and Hoarfrost too. Another killer
@@pabloisusi6097 don't forget genetic
Didnt he write disappearer too?
Such a beautiful song.
I had the pleasure of being stuck in a Post Office line with Lee many years ago when I lived in NYC and got to talk with him for about 15 minutes or so about music and touring. This was when the WTC was still standing (I worked in Building 5) and Sonic Youth had their studio not too far away (Thurston also stopped in my store but I didn't get to talk to him other than to thank him for coming in). Pretty nice guy; I miss that band.
Met him at 3rd St Jazz & Rock(R.I.P.) in Philly along with Thurson. They were there for a Goo record signing & played the Troc that night. First time i saw them. Myind blown, ears forever altered. Thurson said thanks for coming and signed the lp card/poster. Lee did too but was also smiling and nicer. He also signed the poster "Goo to you. Lee." I had that on the wall at my folks until i moved out full time ten years later. SY forever! 🤘😎
The Ramones - Leather Jackets
Talking Heads - Wristwatches
Well played.
I had the oportunity to meet him when he came with Sonic Youth in lima in that moment he was with Kim Gordon in front of the Westlin Hostel mainentrace he signed my ticket of the concert and then he said me I saw your magazine in the middle of the concert cuz I was with the fanzine of my best frined Grate person , Grate artist too !!
I have seen Sonic Youth I guess 6 times playing in Vera Groningen. I was a stage builder in Vera Groningen and we were often allowed to talk to artists upstairs. A friend and I were sitting at the table with Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore once and Lee asked me what I had in my bag. It was an LP from The Wipers.
Amoeba is definitely my favorite channel of all time. It is as if you were hitting a good chat with these amazing people. Too cool to be true.
I remember walking into Parrot Records in Colchester, England, and my mate Nigel saying you have got to listen to this as he thrust No New York into my hands. I still have my imported copy I bought that day, one of the best LPs ever.
Amazing choices. Lee Ranaldo is a great musician and a great art connoisseur. You can see an intellectual right away by his art preferences.
That part where the woman stumbles into the camera shot on her way going to the comedy section was pure comedy.
Wonderful, endearing and well spoken session. Thanks Lee for everything.
Lee is my favourite from SY. Love him.
4:50 most polite photobomb
No, she think "Oh, it's Lee ranaldo with a camera, be careful"
NICE!!!! This was super cool and I am gonna go thru the what's in the bag list and listen up. Thanks Lee Renaldo! the back stories are great!
These are great. It's a wealth of information of music and a music appreciation class.
I had the chance to talk to Lee once at a meet and greet after the Atlanta show on the Murray St. Tour. He was such a nice guy, and very engaged with everything I had to say!
Lee’s comment about the people on the back of No New York looking as if they came out of an insane asylum to me summed up that era out the punk scene in general. My first encounter with punks here in Hollywood just blew my mind! They looked absolutely psycho … and threatened to cut off my long hair! But instead of detesting them I wanted to know more about them. Within months I cut my own hair off and was going to as many shows as I could. Simply because I had never seen or heard anything so different from what was “normal”. And you were instantly labeled a weirdo for admiring punk. Sign me up!
I love Lee Ranaldo. This video is dope.
That Flying Nun compilation is the shit and I happen to be lucky enough to own it on vinyl !!!
I am jealous
Andrew Mills my cousins are in the clean
AWESOME!!!
That's so fucking cool.
@@D-77 this is the coolest comment ever. Tell them i love their music, and that i jam out to them regularly!
For the ones who asked about the song featured on "Histoire (Histoiry) du Cinéma" at 6:40, it's Carmel "I'm Not Afraid of You" : czcams.com/video/fgkw47HLxH8/video.html
thank you! I was looking this comment madly
Lee is the man!
Perhaps my favorite installment of WIMB. Nice guy with excellent and eclectic tastes.
killed it with the last one, need to watch that ASAP!
Return to the 36 chambers is literally one of the greatest albums of all time, due to the picture it paints with audio alone
Cant believe Lee gave our New Zealand music a shoutout! wow thats pretty cool man.
his songs were always the best on the album !
That Flying Nun compilation is gold. Thanks Lee!

I would love to have a beer and chat music with this guy. What a legend.
If anyone sees this and hasn't heard of the tall dwarfs, who are featured on the flying nun compilation, barely; please go out and get everything they've ever done and enjoy what life is like with them.
You have excellent taste - most can be found here

@@iandalziel7405 Good post dude, good post!
this man is love
She's like, "I just wanna grab the O.D.B. box set, dammit!"
Nardwuar disliked this video
Poor Nard getting flashbacks
Nah he’s all good with them
Big country's poundcake did they make up? I remember that interview from years ago, didn’t go well to say the least lol.
偉案 prototype Nardwuar isn’t one to hold grudges lol. He’s Canadian
偉案 prototype There’s a second interview with just Thurston and Lee at the end. You can tell they’re on good terms now.
I love these videos, there's always at least one "ERMAGERDZ THAT'S WHY I LOVE THIS GUY!" moment in every single one, and in this case it's the Flying Nun compilation. Wow!
and in 2020 Flying Nun is still going strong

celebrating 40 years next year!!
I'm getting my ass into Amoeba next year when I'm in SF next year
Hopefully
Blowing my entire budget on cool music
Lee very awesome in Sonic Youth and with his own band
Great collection of interesting music too in his mighty bag
Eric's Trip on the Daydream Nation retrospective (2007) at the Greek Theatre in LA was a highlight of the show.
Same when they did it in Melbourne. Lifelong love for Daydream Nation... 16 to... 40 whatever
The photob0mb at 4:48 is absolute gold.
First time I saw Sonic Youth was across the street from Amoeba at the I Beam. Amoeba was a bowling alley at that time.
Perfect guitar player, perfect music taste
Waaaaaa when was this filmed... definitely musically visually on the same wave length and I'm gonna get everything he just bought... can't go wrong... Paz y amor people... 🍄
Love you lee!
Lee is the fucking man, I have so much respect for him. Hope to catch him live some time.
Flying Nun! Man, I grew up around that scene, takes me back to the best of NZ indie. Nice choice.
DNA was incredible live. Wish there was something similar today.
did you see them in the 70s? that’s incredible!
@@explanationmark_ September 1980 at the Savoy Tivoli in San Francisco. There’s film of it on CZcams. They were so tight - no messing around!
@@AFaceintheCrowd01 that’s fucking awesome. you witnessed history and i wish i could have been there myself :)
I agree I wish experimental bands
Great picks! Long live "What's in My Bag!" Thee. Best.
A few things to check-out. Thanks Lee.
Lee is amazing
After viewing about 15 of these this one is the only one with 2 items that i'd buy, No New York comp (incredible No New York No Wave) and Talking Heads Chronology dvd. I have both already actually. Great series.
@@pashadyne because the ascension is that much more predictable. Also you're just assuming hes some sort of genre tourist who's only heard the compilation. maybe he's a veteran to the genre and just wants the most important album of the genre on a physical medium. Maybe instead of trying to gatekeep you just enjoy stuff and let other people enjoy stuff
"everyone on stage had a watch."
Lee I love you !
it's kinda painful to play guitar with watches on while standing - the strap jams your wrist tendons and after half an hour of playing you realise that your hand clenches in the most absurd ways, making it nearly impossible to switch chords properly/painlessly
Insanely good picks but I wouldn't put it past him knowing how much I respect and love Sonic Youth.
As #birmanloverful mentioned, that track is "Warning Sign" from the album "More Songs About Buildings And Food."
I meet Lee, Thurston, and Kim one time, and they were all three the nicest people.
Lee is the man! Seems like such a nice guy!
too cool
"Histoiry du cinéma" hehe. Love you Lee.
Super-cool man.
I agree two years ago me.
lee is a great man
Lee rocks!
Very interesting choices indeed
quite the selection, mister
I must agree. Histoire(s) du cinéma is a masterpiece.
Anyone else assume that he'd already have 5 copies of No New York?
For a moment, I thought "Isn't he ON No New York?" Derrr
As well as Kim or Steve. Steve in particular has a great taste in music.
That is "Artists Only" from a Saturday Night Live performance.
There were two different songs from that compilation: "Down And Around", by Stones, and "Rain", by Wrecks Small Speakers On Expensive Stereos (the latter plays second, over the stills of the bands and the album cover).
Stones: czcams.com/video/xqWPsOTA-Ag/video.html
WSSOES:czcams.com/video/lG4rlxSHnOI/video.html
Get thurston on!
And Kim
+Curtis and Steve lol
+Curtis We interviewed Thurston years ago: www.amoeba.com/live-shows/detail-942#cat-most_recent_shows/
We'd love to get him back in for WIMB.
Lol thurston would make the video go on for 4 hours which I’d love to watch it
Thurston’s would be real pretentious. Love him, but you know it would be. Like Lee way better anyways
I love lee
The second I saw the screenshot of Lee holding the reissue of No New York (great repress of a great record, by the way), I had to click on this video.
Oh, damn. I love him 💙
Lee is such a nice guy
lee
Shout for no New York compilation
Love Lee and Sonic Youth. Great selection, though it's fairly obvious he get good stuff.
He is so nice. I want to be him.
FLAWLESS TASTES
Does anyone know the source of the video clips from around 3:20 when Lee's talking about the Sandy Bull record? Cheers
And so does his guitars!
Nice Picks from the master
They need the rest of Sonic Youth the shop here any buy rad vinyl and dope movies
Oud (Live) from his 1976 Album, "Sandy Bull & The Rhythm Ace". I have a version on my channel...
Thats so rad he likes ODB.
Holy smokes. Ken Nordine's Word Jazz is on the wall.
love how the first pick is no new york
Shows how tech-savvy I am, I was reviewing the Bud Light commercial. Lee, however, is a hero of mine . .
Have you listened to Corridor of Mirrors by Lazy Smoke?
what's the name of the talking heads song in the background?
I like that when he talks about OBD he has to say things like off the hook and sickest.
I like the way he mispronounces "Histoire du cinema"
