Interpol - What’s In My Bag? Amoeba interview Jan. 17, 2019.
Daniel put in his bag:
- Bad Brains (ROIR sessions) (1982) “One of the best hardcore records..”
- Badlands (1973) by Malick “..it has a meditative quality to it. And I like the music too.” Explains how he is a fan of how Martin Sheen puts on his jacket. :D
- Roy Orbison record. About the song ‘Pantomime’: “starts humbly and builds into this sweeping sort of orchestral gigantic piece.”
- Aphex Twin: Richard D. James Album (1996) “It was a big moment in electronic music.”
-PJ Harvey: To Bring You My Love (1995) “I love the minimalism yet the effectiveness of her approach to song writing on this album, and the space.”
Paul put in his bag:
- Only God Forgives (2013) film by Refn “... such a beautiful film. Beautifully shot.”
- Liars: They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top (2001) “This was a real good road companion to me (while touring TOTBL).” “The rhythm section is so insane.”
- Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) by Weir “I may or may not have been so obsessed with this film at one point, that I got a tattoo inspired from it.”
- John Frusciante: Niandra Lades And Usually Just A-Tshirt (1994) “The high points on this really influenced me as an artist..”
Sam put in his bag:
- Hardcore Devo Vol. 2 (1991) “..really very punk rock.”
- Die Warzau: Disco Rigido (1989) About a song: “Very on the aggressive side [of dance music] so there’s not much to begin with. And that’s the beauty of it.”
-Jesu: Heart Ache/Dethroned (2010) “I think it’s just one guy with a heavy guitar and a lot of electronics.” “Total ear candy”
- Heart: Dreamboat Annie (1975) “For my baby mama.” “Ann Wilson has one of the best voices ever.”
