Me: *Expecting to have some shoegaze, rock and post rock recomendations* DIIV: *Actually gives better music recomendations of genres that i like and i love it*
I've been watching this channel for years and would say this might be the most diverse and cool selection(s?) pretty impressive but not pretentious or overbearing, great job well done.
yeah, used to call them "deev", but I learnt about the correct pronunciation when I read a little about the band's history, and yeah, their previous name was Dive
Jared O Lantern so you’re saying not famous = pretentious? I don’t see why people who like less known music have to be called pretentious, it’s just like calling people who like popular music posers
@@spoonnoise8332 Agreed. Actually, I think the word "pretentious" itself should be banned from the conversation when it comes to art, because what is art if not self-expression, e.g. presenting your inner world to the outer one, and to say about Anybodys works of art that its pretentious is pointless, at the very least.
Yup - I liked their debut to an extent, but didnt care for the sophomore at all. However, the instant I heard Taker I was intrigued enough to give the other tracks a chance. At first didnt care for Blankenship but it has really grown on me, and in the end I have the Tri-color LP - no regrets. Most of the songs have that exact shoegaze sound I love, and the songwriting itself is quite good overall, so yeah - on of my faves of the past year as well. I must say, though, the surprise Whirr record that came out about the same time is The shoegaze album of 2019 for me.
Met Rob Pollard backstage at Reading Festival (1995). Didn't know any GBV music then, as I was only 15, but he was such a cool guy. More like a school teacher/your uncle, than a rockstar - down to earth and unpretentious. Bought us beers and chatted to us whilst all these famous people also playing the Friday (Beasties, Courtney Love, Billy Corgan, Beck) were walking around being famous and swooned over.
I would have thought they were listening to shoegaze, dream pop, goth and post punk and I discovered an hip hop fanatic, a jazz head and a 60s 70s psychedelia krautrock lover. That makes them even more great!
Bee Thousand is one of my favourite albums - great pick. Criminally underrated! So many good songs - Smothered in Hugs, Tractor Rape Chain, I am a Scientist, Echos Myron... I could go on
@@Kkidzz hardcore fans yes! I meant by the general public - it's lesser known than Crooked Rain Crooked Rain by Pavement and other such indie albums from the 90s I think.
that was flavorful! at the core of all the dissonance are these melancholic songs, hell yes. a perfect description of jesu, and that holds true for diiv's music in some respect. you get these two different environments but in either instance there's a gloomy song at the heart. it's awesome to know there are hip-hop and bleepy music influences alike, running thru diiv's blood.
@@CelticMudkip Agreed - I really wish Broderick might bring that sound back at some point. Walk on Water and Friends are Evil are some of the best doomgaze songs ever.
Great music taste! love this band! Deceiver was one of my favorite albums of 2019. love what they picked up except Grimes. I'm glad they also picked up Jesu, Bowery Electric and Meat puppets. They are amazing.
The guy with the caterpillar brows and the bleached blonde hairstyle is so into his 1990s-High-School-Kid LARP that when he popped onto my screen my bum cheeks flexed then vibrated before emitting vintage arcade game sounds. So unexpected was the sight that I went into immediate shock. I also think I farted little neon coloured pixels into the air during my uncontrollable bleeping-pyewwing-chiming arsehole spasm. Please Amoeba, can you warn us next time if you're tempted to showcase such a pack of odd ducks? Caterpillar guy went deep with the costume, even instructing his hairdresser to do a "1994 Julius Caesar" cut. Nobody has hair like that anymore, that's real dedication to authentic LARPing. Impressive authenticity...I bet he smells like CK One too.
"Hi, we're DIIV. We're here to do that drywall job."
Everyone looks like they are going to make Trainspotting 3
TIL there is a Trainspotting 2
@@willcantor5720 It's OK but you didnt miss anything not seeing it earlier
www.imdb.com/title/tt2763304/
Will Cantor it basically doesnt exist tho
@Oliver Eales Yes, it called t2. based on the book porno by Irvine welsh.
Dude in the beanie has really good hip hop taste
He shoulda got E. 1999 Eternal tho
Each member had completely different genres. Such a wide variety between all the members
Woahhhhhh
culTuRE
Such varied taste for a band that writes one song over and over again lol
Love them tho
You should check out their Podcast!!!

4:45 the way Cole is listening and nodding at what Colin's saying is adorable
I've been watching this channel for years and would say this might be the most diverse and cool selection(s?) pretty impressive but not pretentious or overbearing, great job well done.
so good to see Cole looking healthy!
looks like a completely different person.
New hair .origional color
Andrew, if you are reading any of the comments, I want to say thanks for turning me on to Your Old Droog! What a great artist!
I love this band so much, I really really enjoyed their last project! I play it everyday before work!
not only my favourite rock band right now, but inspirational characters ... love the band's totally eclectic perspective on music
i clicked out of curiosity because i really like DIIV and now i'm on my way to listen to all of these albums
I get so much from listening to what other musicians listening to
right
Diiv is the best, so glad to see them on this finally.
Great choices No wonder this band is so good.
Thanks, Zach! Loved Bowery Electric's Lushlife
nice picks, Colin! so nice to see ya be a part of this series! v happy for ya!! ^_^
DIIV’s bags are a whole different universe of great records.
Probably everyone: Aaah, so that is how you pronounce DIIV.
yes, yes.. all those years of calling them by there initials, just D-I-I-V y'all
Been making jokes about how it's pronounced "Dave" for too long.
yeah, used to call them "deev", but I learnt about the correct pronunciation when I read a little about the band's history, and yeah, their previous name was Dive
I think the mojority of people knew how to pronounce their name before. :)
I said Div...like Divet...except Div.
These are brilliant picks.
you misspelled pretentious.

@@JaredOLantern
Many of their picks were innovative artists.
That bone thugs record was one of the first CDs I ever owned back when I was like 8. Truly underrated.
You guys are SO wonderful. Please never go away!
It's always fun when a band's music sounds exactly as you think it will after you've looked at them
andrew is one of my favorite guitar players and its really cool to see that hes a cool dude too
Love when these Alternative dudes showing their favorite rap album, even Kevin Shields like hiphop at some point (public enemy)
Shields was also into the House/Acid House/Jungle/DnB scenes as well.
Love DIIV. They got me into Guided By Voices.
"deceiver" was one of my absolute favorites! fantastic, darting guitars, hazy and dreamy yet so loud and in your face, but soothing!
"hejira"

You're welcome if you like really good sounds
Sergej Lovrekovic odličan je al meni je oshin najbolji!
Haven’t heard from these guys in awhile...nice to see them on here!

Bowery electric are great 👌🏼

I'm loving how Guided By Voices is getting so much play in these features... they're so damn good

The love for Art Angels is sending me
I just checked out Bowery electric so good thank you
Jay looks weird without Silent Bob next to him
He's chilling with Mr Robot though.
Ha ha
My sons favourite band, cool!
🐜
Love Pentangle!
dude in the beanie knows whats up
The Philip Glass! The double time signature
So many interesting picks. Love these guys!
Deceiver is amazing
I would have thought they were listening to shoegaze, dream pop, goth and post punk and I discovered an hip hop fanatic, a jazz head and a 60s 70s psychedelia krautrock lover. That makes them even more great!
Luca Capezio I felt this comment !!
I like that the guy who grabs the hip-hop is the only guy who doesn't look like he's into hip-hop. :) Cool picks all around.
He does look like he's into 90s hip hop, tho.
Looks like Diplo
First record you’d find in my bag: DIIV’s Is The Is Are. In-fucking-credible 🔥🔥🔥
Love Cluster!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER
mahargllednif same! So happy it’s here!
I got to say...every pick did it for me. I wish I was on the bus with these guys.
Alright...I'm gonna have to check them out. Their picks are tasty!
E.W. "SquErl" Tiffin -E3PercussionPRO definitely do !!
Great band. Great picks. Good dudes.
I LOVE DIIV
Cool guys. Cool taste.
Had tickets for their shows in Barcelona and Lisboa, which were both cancelled, so was really happy to see this :)
cadavre exquis :(
I guess Cole sticking with his Steve Jobs look
MoeMoneyrunstheWORLD this made me laugh big time !
Big up for picking jesu 🤲🤝
Massively slept on. Some of the most Powerful music out there.
i haven't heard these guys before but they sent me though quite a rabbit hole in spotify
whoa, Robert Ashley as the #2 pick. hell yeah
Cole looks like Pasha Antipov from the Dr. Zhivago (1965) film.
Cole is looking great, glad he is better.
I want the "thanks guys" as my ringtone. Best part of my week
love these people more than anythingggg
Bee Thousand is one of my favourite albums - great pick. Criminally underrated! So many good songs - Smothered in Hugs, Tractor Rape Chain, I am a Scientist, Echos Myron... I could go on
NOT criminally underrated..... it’s considered a Classic by longtime/hardcore fans.
@@Kkidzz hardcore fans yes! I meant by the general public - it's lesser known than Crooked Rain Crooked Rain by Pavement and other such indie albums from the 90s I think.
I love this show! Thanks amoeba cool picks this week
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So captivating and informative...awesome selections/awesome band.

I bought "Young Man" last time I was at Amoeba for those who know...Colin is a great musician!
Damn cole looks so different
In a bad way though
Olivier Dubé no yes
Olivier Dubé He’s healthier and, in a way, happier now. What’s so wrong about that?
Jesu, hell yeah man. Must have been looking for Conqueror album? Early Jesu is best though
Self titled is the best. Some of it is cry-worthy beautiful.
@@CelticMudkip True, their best in my opinion. "Heart Ache" is also poignantly beautiful
@@CelticMudkip Agreed - I really wish Broderick might bring that sound back at some point. Walk on Water and Friends are Evil are some of the best doomgaze songs ever.
@@19RaxR91 friends are evil is one of the best songs period
Conqueror is beautiful
I fucking love DIIV. Cool episode, lots of stuff to check out

Sure they are DIIV. Are they from New York?
Joseph Hall Yes they are from Brooklyn NY
Pallbearer or YOB next
The guy with the caterpillar brows and the bleached blonde hairstyle is so into his 1990s-High-School-Kid LARP that when he popped onto my screen my bum cheeks flexed then vibrated before emitting vintage arcade game sounds. So unexpected was the sight that I went into immediate shock. I also think I farted little neon coloured pixels into the air during my uncontrollable bleeping-pyewwing-chiming arsehole spasm. Please Amoeba, can you warn us next time if you're tempted to showcase such a pack of odd ducks? Caterpillar guy went deep with the costume, even instructing his hairdresser to do a "1994 Julius Caesar" cut. Nobody has hair like that anymore, that's real dedication to authentic LARPing. Impressive authenticity...I bet he smells like CK One too.
Omg lol
