[Gb] Hi, I'm here with Andrew WK.
[E] Hi.
We're going to go on a shopping adventure [Eb] today.
Yeah.
[E]
[B] [A] I was [Db] given a gift certificate, and that's going to allow me to basically get a [Gb] bunch of stuff without paying any of my own money.
Here at Amoeba Records in Hollywood, [Bb] California.
Let's walk about.
[E] Okay.
[A] [Gb]
[B] [E]
Whenever I've come here before, I've come here [Ab] just to [G] get something specific.
Right.
[Dm] So browsing.
So you're just browsing today.
You don't [Gb] have like a list or anything?
I kind of was thinking I maybe would make a list coming in with the [Ab] understanding that I was going to shop,
but then I thought it would be [Gb] more fun to browse, but I'm now starting to feel a bit [E] overwhelmed.
I'm scared of horse [A] shards.
I can get a [E] party going.
I'm the party [A] of a horse shard.
[E]
Okay, there's [Ebm] something I would like to find.
I want to find a bunch of [Gb] Lungfish CDs.
[C] Okay.
Love is [F]
love [C] in the shape things take.
When I first saw them, I [Bb] never had seen them play before.
I never had heard their [C] music.
I had just seen their name, [Fm] Lungfish, and it always stood out to me.
[Ebm]
I actually didn't even really like the [C] name or feel that strongly about it, [Bbm] but I remembered it for all these years.
[G] Then my friend said, you should come [Eb] and see this band play.
I [G] said, who is it?
[Fm] He said, Lungfish.
I said, oh, [C] I've heard about them over the [Bb] years.
He said, you're going to like it.
I said, well, what's it like?
[C] He said, I'm not going to [Db] tell you anything.
Just come and you'll like it.
That's better.
I was blown away.
It's one of my favorite bands.
[Bbm] I don't think there's any better band.
[G] They played a couple songs.
[C] I thought, wow, I like this.
This is neat.
Then they played a third one.
I said, wait a minute.
Are all the songs going to be [Bbm] like this, like this feeling I'm getting?
[Fm]
Then they played a fourth one.
[Eb] I said, holy smokes, this whole band is [Fm] based on this kind of feeling.
[F] Maybe I'll get a bunch of them here.
[E] Ooh.
[Bb] I can [Gb] do that, though, because I have this.
[Bb] Because you have the [Db] secret magic thing that we can't talk about.
No, I'm just kidding.
[E] Well, you can always have it back.
[F] I remember this band.
I used to own this CD.
[Bb] I bought this when I was [Ab] quite young, like 12 maybe or 13,
at this record store in Ann Arbor, [Gm] Michigan I used to go to a lot when it used to [Bb] exist,
called School Kids Annex.
This was recommended to me by someone, and it [Ab] just completely blew [G] my mind.
[Bbm] It was the first time I'd ever heard [F] music that was [D] complicated played in rock instrumentation.
So I [A] guess what someone might call progressive rock,
or sometimes people have been referring [D] to it as math rock.
[Em]
But I don't know what they would call themselves.
[F] It's just intense, and it's complicated.
[E] So if someone [F] said you had to pick your top five favorite bands right now.
I couldn't.
It's so hard.
I wouldn't.
I would just refuse.
I've always refused.
I've always refused, just because I don't want, in general, to order [Dm] life in that kind of way.
I could list many favorites, but never a top.
Can you think of something that you're just listening to a [Bb] lot right now that you're [D] so fond?
Because that's always [Cm] easier for me to [F] answer, right?
The other one is ridiculous.
[Bb]
[Dm] Well, I've mostly been listening to the record I've been working [C] on, which we just finished,
[Ab] which is by [F] a musician named Lee Scratch Perry, [Dm] who's a reggae pioneer.
So I was spending a lot of time working with him and these other [Bb] people I'm making music with,
so I haven't been listening to as much music outside of [F] what I've been working on.
Right.
But a lot [Fm] of dance music.
Maybe we can go find some cool dance music.
I like techno a lot.
Okay.
And we've been playing that.
I opened up this nightclub with three of my friends, this music venue.
Cool.
And we play dance music every night.
And it's tricky because [F] there's a lot of music out there, a lot of dance music.
And [G] sometimes it's intentionally [F] obscure, what is what and who is what,
and there's many remixes and there's many styles and there's many [Dm] genres.
So saying, I heard some cool dance music and I want to find some just like [F] it.
Where would you [Cm] even begin?
[Db]
[Bbm] Well, [Fm] I bought some stuff here in [Fm] this section once before.
Yeah.
[F] Going through the genres.
[D] See, how could I even begin [F] to tell if this is good [Cm] or if I would like it?
[F] I think you should get this CD.
[Dm] CBB?
What's this guy, [F] trance?
It's actually freestyle, [Cm] which is more like 80s kind of electronic.
Yeah, well freestyle is very, very popular in New York.
[C] I figured.
Very, very popular on the radio in New York.
Really?
It's like, you turn on the dance music station KTU or even the pop stations
and they play freestyle.
And I didn't ever know [Eb] what it was.
And then my friend told me, this is freestyle.
This is a New York tradition.
This will never go away.
[Bm] And the young people like it.
The real young girls, [D]
real young, like kids.
That's their favorite music is the freestyle.
[C]
So this is the hot freestyle of the night.
I think it's fun.
I [Ebm] appreciate it.
I never enjoyed listening to it because it wasn't my kind [C] of beat.
It was usually [G] a
It wasn't a dry, I like four on the floor.
Okay.
Four on the [B] floor.
[Gm] Okay, [D] I'll get this.
Oh, I just watched that too.
You [Dbm] did?
Yeah.
Hey, well we've got a good psychic thing going here.
[Eb] I'll get these Kenneth Anger compilations.
[Dbm]
Wow.
Because I've never seen his movies all the way through, ever.
Yeah, it's definitely entertaining.
This is great.
And I [Ab] saw the pyramid downstairs, the stage.
Yeah.
I thought, I like that pyramid.
That's a good vibe.
And I thought of Kenneth Anger because he's incorporated [Gm] an Egyptian aesthetic for various reasons of his own.
[F]
[C]
This is great.
I never would have [Ab] thought to get these.
I didn't think they had released his movies on DVD.
They finally did, like this past [D] year.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
Because he's been, [Eb]
his health has been [Cm] an issue lately.
Oh, [Eb] I didn't know that.
So this will [Bb] help raise some money as well, which is really good.
[G] I took part on a tribute CD for him.
Oh, that's cool.
It's silly that I hadn't seen all his movies, but then that's okay.
You can still [F] appreciate someone without [C] having seen all his movies.
Yeah, definitely.
And now I will.
[Bb] Had fun hanging out with my new buddy, Andrew, today?
Yes, thank you so much.
Tell us some stuff.
Thank you.
This is cool.
I had a really wonderful time.
I'm very happy to hear new things, [Eb] see new things, hear some [Bb] old things, [Bb] see some things
that are [Eb] probably going to be in the [Eb] future, and just really feel great about this [F] time
here at Amoeba with you. Yay!
So thank you, Amoeba.
[Bb] I love you.
[E] Hi.

It's one of my favorite bands.
[Bbm] I don't think there's any better band.
[G] They played a couple songs.
[C] I thought, wow, I like this.
This is neat.
Then they played a third one.
I said, wait a minute.
Are all the songs going to be [Bbm] like this, like this feeling I'm getting?
[Fm]
Then they played a fourth one.
[Eb] I said, holy smokes, this whole band is [Fm] based on this kind of feeling.
[F] Maybe I'll get a bunch of them here.
[E] Ooh.
[Bb] _ _ I can [Gb] do that, though, because I have this.
[Bb] Because you have the [Db] secret magic thing that we can't talk about.
No, I'm just kidding.
[E] Well, you can always have it back.
[F] I remember this band.
I used to own this CD.
_ _ _ [Bb] I bought this when I was [Ab] quite young, _ like 12 maybe or 13,
at this record store in Ann Arbor, [Gm] Michigan I used to go to a lot when it used to [Bb] exist,
called School Kids Annex.
_ _ This was recommended to me by someone, and it [Ab] just completely blew [G] my mind.
[Bbm] It was the first time I'd ever heard [F] music that was [D] complicated played in rock instrumentation.
So I [A] guess what someone might call progressive rock,
or sometimes people have been referring [D] to it as math rock.
_ _ _ [Em]
But I don't know what they would call themselves.
[F] It's just intense, and it's complicated.
_ [E] So if someone _ [F] said you had to pick _ your top five favorite bands right now.
I couldn't.
It's so hard.
I wouldn't.
I would just refuse.
I've always refused.
I've always refused, just because I don't want, in general, to order [Dm] life in that kind of way.
I could list many favorites, but never a top.
Can you think of something that you're just listening to a [Bb] lot right now that you're [D] so fond?
Because that's always [Cm] easier for me to [F] answer, right?
The other one is ridiculous.
[Bb] _ _
[Dm] Well, I've mostly been listening to the record I've been working [C] on, which we just finished,
[Ab] which is by [F] a musician named Lee Scratch Perry, [Dm] who's a reggae pioneer. _ _ _
So I was spending a lot of time working with him and these other [Bb] people I'm making music with,
so I haven't been listening to as much music outside of [F] what I've been working on.
Right. _
But a lot [Fm] of dance music.
Maybe we can go find some cool dance music.
I like techno a lot.
Okay.
And we've been playing that.
I opened up this nightclub with three of my friends, this music venue.
Cool.
And we play dance music every night.
And it's tricky because [F] there's a lot of music out there, a lot of dance music.
And [G] sometimes _ it's intentionally [F] obscure, what is what and who is what,
and there's many remixes and there's many styles and there's many [Dm] genres.
So saying, I heard some cool dance music and I want to find some just like [F] it.
Where would you [Cm] even begin?
[Db] _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ Well, [Fm] I bought some stuff here in [Fm] this section once before.
Yeah.
_ [F] Going through the genres. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ See, how could I even begin [F] to tell if this is good [Cm] or if I would like it?
[F] I think you should get this CD.
_ [Dm] _ CBB?
What's this guy, [F] trance?
It's actually freestyle, [Cm] which is more like 80s kind of electronic.
Yeah, well freestyle is very, very popular in New York.
[C] I figured.
Very, very popular on the radio in New York.
Really?
It's like, _ _ _ you turn on the dance music station KTU or even the pop stations
and they play freestyle.
And I didn't ever know [Eb] what it was.
And then my friend told me, this is freestyle.
This is a New York tradition.
This will never go away.
[Bm] And the young people like it.
The real young girls, [D]
real young, like kids.
That's their favorite music is the freestyle.
[C]
So this is the hot freestyle of the night.
I think it's fun.
I _ [Ebm] appreciate it.
I never enjoyed listening to it because it wasn't my kind [C] of beat.
It was usually [G] _ a_ _ _ _
It wasn't a dry, I like four on the floor.
Okay.
_ Four on the [B] floor. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ Okay, [D] I'll get this.
Oh, I just watched that too.
You [Dbm] did?
Yeah.
Hey, well we've got a good psychic thing going here.
[Eb] I'll get these Kenneth Anger compilations.
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
Wow.
Because I've never seen his movies all the way through, ever.
Yeah, it's definitely entertaining.
This is great.
And I [Ab] saw the pyramid _ downstairs, the stage.
Yeah.
I thought, I like that pyramid.
That's a good vibe.
And I thought of Kenneth Anger because he's incorporated [Gm] an Egyptian aesthetic for various reasons of his own.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
This is great.
I never would have [Ab] thought to get these.
I didn't think they had released his movies on DVD.
They finally did, like this past [D] year.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
Because he's been, _ [Eb] _
his health has been [Cm] an issue lately.
Oh, [Eb] I didn't know that.
So this will [Bb] help raise some money as well, which is really good.
[G] I took part on a tribute CD for him.
Oh, that's cool.
It's silly that I hadn't seen all his movies, but then that's okay.
You can still [F] appreciate someone without [C] having seen all his movies.
Yeah, definitely.
And now I will.
[Bb] _ Had fun hanging out with my new buddy, Andrew, today?
Yes, thank you so much.
Tell us some stuff.
Thank you.
This is cool.
I had a really wonderful time.
I'm very happy to hear new things, [Eb] see new things, hear some [Bb] old things, [Bb] see some things
that are [Eb] probably going to be in the [Eb] future, and just really feel great about this [F] time
here at Amoeba with you. Yay!
So thank you, Amoeba.
[Bb] I love you. _ _
