That must have been one of the greatest compliments Tyler The Creator has gotten

"Like NWA, like Public Enemy, like Devo..."

Jerry Casale is an American hero. I really mean that.

"Forbidden Zone" LOL I was an extra on that movie...

I mean it kinda makes sense that Gerald likes Tyler. Both musicians are pretty eccentric. Devo and Odd Future both pushed the boundaries.

What a nice guy. Talks serenely regarding artists. No poser.

I freaked out when I saw he picked up a copy of 'Forbidden Zone'. If Devo and Oingo Boingo did a project together, the world would explode from its epicness.

Thank you, Jerry, not only for Devo, but for introducing me to this store I immediately need to pilgrimage to.

I wanted this to last 1 hr instead of 7 minutes. great stuff.

DEVO's EZ listening album is genius

I love that he has good taste in music. But then again I'm not surprised.

Gerald = LIKE A BOSS . First time I saw Devo was in the summer 1980 and there was a bit of a riot - lots of glass broken. Been a Devotee since then, and I own an early press version of EZ-Listening/ Muzak version of Devo tunes , love it .

Devo? Hells yeah! I clicked fast as hell. I want that Devo easy listening album. never heard of it until now. Thx Amoeba!!

Most important person so Far on this show IMO

Best episode i like him even more finally somebody loving music not just memories.

ultimate devo 1972- 1990.

Well done video with really interesting music choices. 5 stars.

DEVO-ODD FUTURE ALBUM MAKE IT HAPPEN BOYS

Nice to hear he is up a current music.

Forbidden Zone...the guy wearing glasses is in the credits under the name Toshiro Baloney...his real name is Matthew Bright and directed Freeway and Freeway 2.

Prob the best bag ever. This dude knows how to party.

what a gentleman...humble too

Great picks Jerry!

Great and interesting choices from a true Pioneer of music.

I'd never even heard of the Rick Elfman movie. Need to check that one out!

Nice variety of picks, Jerry!

national treasure right there, thanks amoeba!

Love it!!!

I like the "Forbidden Zone" pick, mainly because it always reminded me of "In The Beginning Was The End | THE TRUTH ABOUT DE-EVOLUTION".

That place reminds me of TOWER RECORDS in Glasgow, where I used to work in 2000! I got half my acid/techno record collection from there

Was not expecting the Gil Scott Heron Jamie XX album. Awesome.

We needed a DEVO and Beastie Boys collab... Also, Tyler, collab with DEVO!

@theledstone i'm not that young anymore, but the only suitable answer for your comment goes something like this: "Go read! a freakin' book grandpa". I think Gerald has fine taste in music, he is kinda a music explorer that follows his own instinct. Uniqueness makes these "Whats in my bag" episodes great.

One of the best whats in my BAG!!!

would love to listen to that Devo E-Z listening album...

I like Amoeba because it reminds me of the 80's. Thanks for asking.

Caught The Forbidden Zone in COLOR at The Egyptian with Rick Elfman led panel. So cool.

I never realized what a huge part of Devo Jerry Casale was until I heard his great two-part interview on Dean Delray's podcast, _Let There Be Talk_: Part 1, episode #193: www.stitcher.com/podcast/dean-delray/let-there-be-talk/e/193jerry-casaledevo-40165702 Part 2, episode #198: www.stitcher.com/podcast/dean-delray/let-there-be-talk/e/198jerry-casaledevo-part-2-40391071

I would like to give that "Early Mats" in the background, a listen to! the late great Bob Stinson's in the photo! so I guessing some highly combustable tracks!

Ha ha... I've got EZ Listening cd and used to use the beginning of Beautiful World for my answering machine message

"A tip of the hat to Matt for that"! He's a poet...and I think he knows it?

FORBIDDEN ZONE - the best. And a great soundtrack. And I have watched it over and over - over the years - I DID pick up the COLORIZED version and it's worthy.

Real cool!

GILL. SCOTT. HERON!

Love that Beastie Boys shout out

I Love How He's Into Tyler, the Creator. WHIP IT!

Dag, if Amoeba can still do it, and from what I've heard and seen ( sadly not in person, YET!), still do it so damned well, then why didn't or hasn't Tower?! Living in the Eastern side of the States, where can or does a cat visit to view even a tenth of what Amoeba constantly offers up. Just the type of stuff that us teens in the 80's still dig on the regular. Much, much respect and thanksgiving has to get thrown to Amoeba for their incredible vision of what is still extremely important.

i like it when people say the date in the recording, just to see how long editing takes

I bought my copy of the EZ listening disc at Amoeba!

Omg I got that DEVO easy listening CD. I bought it in high school. I’m a huge DEVO fan but never really listened to that CD as it was pretty cheesey. Didn’t know it was hard to find!

Icon right there

What great taste.

Jerry was born in 1948?! Let your hair go grey, Jerry - you'll still be handsome.

I had a copy of that very CD Where DEVO plays EZ Musik And the cover is a pitcher of the.Andormeda Glaxey !!

forbidden zone!! I love you!

He likes Stockhausen. So do I (as well as many other 20th century composers).

11 fucking years ago. Holy shit.

Glad he likes Tyler

Goddamn I love Jerry

Jerry is one of my favorite celebrities, cool 🐈

Thee oh sees vinyl in the background!!

GERALD LIKES OFWGKTA!??!?!

This guy wil probably love the murlocs

I gotta peep that Devo Lounge album now. I thought for sure he was going to have one of them plastic helmets in his bag.

Ooooh Red Sparrowes right behind him!

I'd like to hear that E-Z listening record, that's funny they made it.

SALEM King Night at 1:30 💗

The Early Mats album in the background

🎶 it’s a beautiful bag🎶 it’s a beautiful bag🎶

WHIP IT

Holy shit he name-drops Tyler

how this took 6 months to be uploaded, some nice choices here

Last comment, l just thank god that people still enjoys off the wall music. Ps. Where is Electric Geetar, by talking heads or Brian snow, kings lead hat.

Decent episode! Sebastian Bach's is still the best, though.

I love that he likes "Odd Future" ^_^

whatever this dude suggests is great

Praise Bob!

@Luap0 Wait I got you now. I read that wrong. I was thinking you meant "we" as in multiple people, not you and Gerald. It's odd how that happens sometimes.

WHOA, Jerry is a pitchfork follower??!

*eyeing that QOTSA vinyl*

swag

He's the last person I'd expect to like rap, but I guess considering rap's roots it kind of makes sense...

He probably owns them already. They are pretty common records.

@theledstone high swear-age? what?

"tip of the hat to matt for that"

Jerry Casale sure looks a lot like Mike Meyers now. Be Stiff DEVOtees.

Anyone remember "Let me tickle your fancy" performed with Jermaine Jackson?

I love "Easy Listening" Kurt Cobain, turned me on to it!

Intro music?

damn he knows the xx, whip it

Of course Jerry likes Forbidden Zone

I wonder if Jerry got into Stockhausen through Mark.

Sorry meant Goblin.

Oh Gerry, you need to checkout cLOUDDEAD

maybe he already had those.

DUTY NOW FOR THE FUTURE!

Don't forget kipper kids. Now I digress.

this guy is a don

What?! He digs Tyler the creator?!

No Noel Coward?
