What a total sluice box of great sounds to comb and sift many faceted gems from! Such a wealth of info and influence Kid has blessed us all with today, or what ever lucky day it is you see this.
Outstanding!! Now that was incredibly refreshing and highly enjoyable, definitely one of my favorite W.I.M.B. episodes. Brian is a true music lover, incredibly knowledgeable, NOT pretentious, has exceptionally great and varied taste and most importantly, just good people... I just love his passion! And clearly it was a really good day for digging, a lot of gems in that "bag".. many of my faves and some things I still have yet to add to my collection.
Great edition of What's In My Bag! I had the privilege of seeing Kid back in the day during his second tour of duty with The Gun Club, and also with the Pink Monkey Birds in September 2014--both fine shows. It doesn't surprise me that he has good musical taste as well.
I met Kid at a tiny music festival and even got the chance to talk to him for a few minutes. And, man, he's the nicest guy in the world and a true gentleman. While I was completely starstruck, trying to express to him how much I admired him and how much his music meant to me, he just standed there, patient as a monk and cool af, with a genuine smile across his face, holding and shaking my hands, giving all his attention to me and thanking me while I vented all my gibberish. God bless him. He really couldn't be sweeter nor more distinguished. I just wish I said something smarter 😂
..Brian seems like a happy go lucky kinda dude, who knows his music quite well, the stuff he listens to is very eclectic..I think he's a romantic..I'm just now getting into the back story of him, and his other bands that he's played with..I knew he played with the Cramps, after Brian Gregory left..
Kid Congo inspired many Mexicans in my neighborhood to play guitar. The guys from Voodoo Glow Skulls will tell you about how Kid Congo changed their lives.
Kid Congo is such a legend !!!!! Imagine playing in the bad seeds and the gun club !!!! What an absolute dude . I’d love to go see him DJ . He’s tastes are so eclectic !!!
@@Sweetheart_of_the_rodeo Oh dear that was a terrible slip up …. You’re absolutely correct he also played in the cramps !!! What a wonderful musician!!!! Thank you so much for not letting that other insanely beautiful fact slip past me and boosting his credentials ten fold …. Wow !!! What an amazing human being and life !!! 🙏✌️👍
This is definitely one of my favorites! I have the Record Store Day 7" of Goblin's Suspiria, but am jealous of the Deep Red(Profondo Rosso) copy he got (even though I have the Waxworks soundtrack). He grabbed a ton of cool stuff and showed me 2 new bands I really dig! More people like this guy!
Dear Kid Congo Powers, we all fucking love you :D ohh and don't be jealous, Amoeba ! haha we love you too :D thanks for keeping it underground with bands that deserve the recognition, fuck what's in Adele's bag !
My friend has a lot of LP's of Nikki Sudden + the green one with Rowland S. Howard. That's how I got to know Howard a bit more and checked out the Birthday Party (with Nick Cave.) Great band!
I love this Swans album! So underrated ... one of the best bands ever! The last incarnation is one of the greatest things in the history of modern music!
I'm fascinated by other people's taste in music...I don't like most of their picks, but still fascinated. respect for the Billy Childish - Buff Medways single.
I'm a fan of pretty much all the bands he's been in but had never seen what he looks like. He's a bit like a black Adam Driver with a bit of Fred Armisen mixed in!
~ What a great channel this is ~!! Thoroughly enjoy Kids selections. I have been delving into my own vinyl collection more recently and find these vids quite entertaining... ~!
If the only thing in his bag was that Rowland S Howard and Nikki Sudden record, this would still be one of the best episodes of WIMB!
This guy is a legend AND he's cool af
Totally.
Facts!!!
What are we going to do when guys like this aren’t around anymore? Such an original.
We'll still have Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Drake /s
@@foljs5858 And EMINEM!! #TRUEandREAL
Kid Congo gots great taste 😎👍
Considering he played guitar on that track, he'd better!
What an amazing pedigree this gentleman has, Cramps, Gun Club, Nick Cave and many more.
Got to be the best episode of what’s in my bag, Ever.
This is perhaps the best episode of "What's in my bag" ever
Never new Kid Congo was so excellently camp. What a fuckin man
I love you Kid. Don't ever leave us!! Thanks for the JLP tip on the Sudden release
Brian is an old, old friend from LA punk, I'm so glad to see him on Amoeba.
What a total sluice box of great sounds to comb and sift many faceted gems from!

By far one of the most musically enlightening WIMB ever! Thanks Kid Conga! So original, amazing taste!
Seems like the coolest guy in rock. Loved gun club all the way through.
The Kid did not disappoint! I'm going to check some of the stuff that I'm not familiar with right away!
What a playlist!!! see you in france in 1989 with te Gun Club, Thanks for that, and excuse my english! Cramped for life!

Kid's music got better over the years. Amazing. And he's a loveable GOD
Tremendous picks. All of them gold. One of my favorite people.
The great Kid Congo Powers loving the great John Cale. Now I love KCP even more so!

Such a nice guy and super cool selection

i would love to hear a set from Kid Congo Powers!

One of the best episodes ever
Great choices, Kid! And I love that Dusty track so much. Have for almost 50 years. "The walls are much too thin..."
really good episode and the Burroughs shirt
Seems a great guy. Sincere about his music. Nice one.
Kid Kongo! Man i wanted to like this before i even watched it but sure enough his picks were as on point as i expected. Great episode Amoeba!
Great bloke - and a genuinely informative episode of WIMB. I learned from this.
Awesome guy, cool picks. Kid rules!
Already figured he had impeccable taste. Awesome episode! 🖤
My friend has a lot of LP's of Nikki Sudden + the green one with Rowland S. Howard. That's how I got to know Howard a bit more and checked out the Birthday Party (with Nick Cave.) Great band!
Absolute G. Great picks and great commentary.
I LOVE THIS WHATS IN MY BAG
Recently saw kid Kongo do a 2 hour DJ set of 45s , dance floor full everyone gettin loose
Kid is a Legend.🤝
holy cow each one of these is a banger
I just found this Kid Congo youtube thang..kewl!!!
I love this Swans album! So underrated ... one of the best bands ever! The last incarnation is one of the greatest things in the history of modern music!
Love this gentleman
sometimes you just gotta go for the dreamy face..... just saw him here in Philly and what a great set & super cool dude.
A fucking legend. Alternative rock history incarnate.
GrReEaAt MAn!
MUCH RESPECT will listen to more of him & his awesome recommendations
looks like that guy, adam driver's older brother ha
I'm fascinated by other people's taste in music...I don't like most of their picks, but still fascinated. respect for the Billy Childish - Buff Medways single.
Great episode - he's a lovely chap, Kid
LEGEND! ❤️ & seems a sound guy?! *Thank you for your music, especially with JLP ❤️
I just love him!
Some great stuff.
I want this guy to be my grandpa. Or my school teacher. That would be so cool this guy is so cool
Nice interview thanks for turning me on to cool new sounds
Such a nice people Kid Congo
This was great!!!
Another very cool visit to Amoeba...
This dude is a total character -- cool.
Superb selection and a bit of an education for me. I missed some of those releases first time around, but I'll be remedying that right now.
I haven't watched it yet but yes!!!
I love the fact that he used to be in a band with Nick Cave. It's like the set-up for a sitcom.
I love that he ended with the late, great, Dusty Springfield.
Fantastic choices!
Big fan of the cramps and nick cave and the bad seeds
unsurprisingly exquisite taste. cool burroughs t-shirt too
He reminds me of a subdued John Waters and all of his choices are very good as well
Psychedelic Jungle and Smell of Female are The Cramps' two best albums. Just saying.
What a top guy 👏👏👏👏
I'm a fan of pretty much all the bands he's been in but had never seen what he looks like. He's a bit like a black Adam Driver with a bit of Fred Armisen mixed in!
Great choices!
I thought he would be this cooler than thou type but what a lovely person!
Just saw him at the Echo. Great show!
You know from the get-go he means business when he grabs the least celebrated Swans record as his first pick.
All of the Swans material should be celebrated!
I saw this dude at The Cramps night show. Fuckin awesome!
He is so cool!
~ What a great channel this is ~!! Thoroughly enjoy Kids selections. I have been delving into my own vinyl collection more recently and find these vids quite entertaining... ~!
