Chords for Kid Congo Powers - What's In My Bag?

[E] _ Hey, my name is Kid Congo Powers of Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds, and this is What's in [D] My Bag.
[G] _ _ What's [E] inside your pocket page?
[G] _ Are you alive [E] or are you dead?
[G] Are you listening [E] or are [G] you not listening?
[Em] You should be [D] telling us.
_ _ _ [Am] The first thing I got today, the first thing I went straight to was the swan section. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_
The Burning World [Em] album.
I really [C] remember loving this [A] record a lot.
I think it was their big major label _ _ effort and it has this really amazing Robert Maplethorpe [Am] cover,
which I really love as well of this Cuddly Lily.
And it is the Jarbo, Michael Jarrat, Norman [A] Westberg era.
And that's lovely and I can't wait to play that on [Ab] vinyl.
And one of my favorite-est albums from my teenage years
was John Cale's Slow Dazzle.
♪ [G] Since my baby [Ab]
left me, [G] _ [Db] _ _ I've found ♪
[G] This has the most chilling version
of [Db] Heartbreak Hotel, the Elvis Presley [G] song.
I was really young when this came [Cm] out.
That's one of the first [Eb] times I really [F] realized
that [A] artists can completely change the meaning of a song
[Db] and make it their [Bb] own song
[Bbm] and turn the whole song [Eb] upside down.
And that's what he does on the version
of [E] Heartbreak [Bb] Hotel on this.
And just the whole [N] album is great.
This was a great era of Island Records in the 70s
when other great stuff, you know,
[E] and Rocks Music and Sparks
[F] and different [G] stuff I loved when I was a [N] teenager.
And another thing I got was this
Nicky Sutton and Roland S.
Howard record.
[D] _ _
_ _ [C] ♪ Rattling and _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
banging [D] ♪
I haven't listened to this since it came out,
probably in the _ early 90s, maybe late 80s even.
And sadly, [E] Nicky and Roland are no longer [C] with us.
[D] And this was a really beautiful, beautiful album.
I know Jeffrey Lee [E] Pearson, the gong club,
who [C] I used to play with, [E] and collaborated with them.
And I [D] was really, really happy to see [Db] In Reissue.
I found this Bush Tetra's first EP on [C] Stiff Records.
♪ Your eyes are shallow and your glance is cold ♪
♪ You can't be funky if you haven't got a soul [G] ♪
I'm so [D] influenced by [Gm] the guitar playing of Pat [G] Place.
She played slide guitar in the [Bb] Contortions
in the No Wave [E] era.
I saw them some years ago, maybe five [Bb] years ago
[E] at one of the last [Gm] CBGB [Bm] shows.
And they [Bb] just blew everything away
and were as fresh as, [G] fresher than any modern band
and more original.
I also DJ a lot, and I DJ [F] 45s only
because carrying around albums is [G] just too heavy.
I usually do a lot of 60s and 50s.
[E] So I've been trying to mine [G] a more glam rock [E] into punk,
which encapsulates like disco [G] music and everything.
So I found a few things.
[Abm] These are kind of more [D] modern.
This will be a good one.
This [E] is the Revealos. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] Scottish band.
They're actually, this was a offshoot [Em] of the band,
The Revealos, who [G] I'm actually on tour with.
They're great [B] because they made an album in 1970,
the late 70s, [C] 76, 77.
[Abm] And they didn't make an album for [G] 37 years
until this [E] last year.
And it's as fresh, they were completely [Gm] _
uncorrupted.
So their new album [C] is as fresh
as a really great [Gm] pop punk [Gb] thing.
And they're amazing.
I got this Buff [F] Bedways, which is Billy Childish,
who I'm a big fan _ [G] [E] of. _
Yeah, _ [F] _ _ [G] you know what I'm [E] talking about.
[N] So I don't have any of this band's records.
So I thought I'd take a gamble.
_ And he's a great artist, artist, non-artist, artist,
you know, [G] _
_ [N] uncompromising and crabby and _ very pure.
And so I'm always excited by whatever he's doing.
[Dm] A single I'm surprised to find [G] by a band
called Knife [C] in the Water, who are from Austin, Texas.
[Gm] ♪ Secret little farm in the [C] streets of Arizona [Gm] ♪
♪ Said that I would drive a three [C]-wheeled van ♪
I'm actually friends with the singer Aaron Blunt.
They had some [Ebm] success in like the [Cm] 2000 [D] era,
late [Ebm] 90s, kind of old country.
And [Dm] he has the most [Eb] _ [Ebm] beautiful _ [Cm]
[D] country-ish [Gm] rockability,
but more country, you know, voice.
And [D] I love it.
It's haunting and beautiful.
[N] And I can't wait to hear this.
I found this, this looks like a Record Store Day thing.
This is [C] an incredible [A]
Profundo Russo by Goblin, _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ mostly known for doing the Dario Argento [A] soundtracks.
And they did [Am] this Asperia album,
which is [Em] absolutely [A] incredible.
It's a classic.
Oh, [D] and [G] here it is.
I would get it, but I already have it.
I'm a [Am] total Goblin nerd,
and I've seen Goblin perform live, and it is so great.
It's not the [C] original Goblin, but [A] what are you gonna do?
[N] They played the songs, and I'm excited to get this on 45. _
And then I bought Ricky Nelson,
because sometimes you just gotta go for the dreamy [Am] face.
[E] ♪ Oh, then you're gonna be [D] sorry ♪
♪ Oh, you [A] treat me this way _ [B] ♪
And I really [Em] love Ricky Nelson records.
I don't, it's just [Gbm] a version [Eb] of Milk [A] Howl Blues,
and who could deny that mug?
I'm sorry, [Bm] _
dreamy, [C] absolutely [Gb] dreamy.
And that's, sometimes [E] that's enough reason to buy a record.
Last but not least is [G] this Dusty Springfield
on Atlantic Records, _ I Don't Wanna Hear It [C] Anymore.
♪ I don't wanna hear it [Bm] anymore [E] _ ♪
[Am] _ _ [C] Actually, the windmills of your mind is the A side,
[Fm] but the version [E] of I Don't Wanna Hear It Anymore
is a heartbreaking, _ _ [B] amazing song.
At the end of the night when I'm DJing,
this could be a really good closer out.
But this song is all about [C] the heartbreak
and the humiliation _ [Bb] of other people
knowing [C] about your heartbreak.
_ Incredible whole album, but I'm happy to [G] find this on 45.
_ That [E] is what's [D] in my bag.
