Girls - What's In My Bag?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- San Francisco band Girls is Christopher Owens and JR White. Christopher and JR met in San Francisco and quickly decided to make music together. They eventually became roommates and began recording in their bedrooms, using reel-to-reel tape and an old computer. Combining Christopher's simple and heartfelt lyrics with JR's production, they drew from '60s jangly pop, '50s surfer music, and their love of rock 'n' roll to create a California indie pop record all their own. Their debut, Album, was released on September 22, 2009. Self-described as "honest, loose, ethereal, obnoxious and perfect," Album also includes a seven-minute track called "Hellhole Ratrace" that was rated by Pitchfork as "one of the 100 best songs of the year."
See what Christopher and JR found shopping at Amoeba!

Wow 'album' will be ten years old next year! Where did the time go....miss this band so much
Now it’s almost 15 years old. Where does the time go
@@deathchips926woah oh oh
Chet JR White picking up 'Kick' by INXS...
Kudos to him wherever he is.
Rest easy, pal
He said he had it on vinyl in his iTunes. Bless that man, but he was def not taking care of himself. Rest in peace!
@@Saintdream3 yes!
I just learned that he really struggled with drugs. And that was so sad to find out nobody could save him, since he didn't actually let himself be saved.
He was my current age when passing. That's really sad
@@condimentking414 It is really sad! Drugs are a lie. They promise so much but deliver so little while destroying your life. He was so talented & gifted regardless of his struggles!
INXS!!!! FUCK YEAH... it's about time people started recognizing that album's brilliance
Christopher Owens is oddly attractive. there's just something so charming about him
He's got a lovely smile.
Got into these very late. 2022 so sad to here aboyt jr, its kind of surreal to me this was happening in my 20s being concious of it and it being over. It has this aura for me.
I feel the same feels.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one with tremendous respect for Dwight Yoakam. Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room is one of my favorite albums ever.
Amoeba is great. I wish we had something like this in Montreal!
oh my gosh, yes! Smith Westerns and Randy Newman love!
Aw, they're adorable. Seem really down to earth :)
All I could focus on was the Jay Reatard album in the background
rip JR :(
I love the Smith Westerns!
woah thats cray! i used to steal MY sister's copy of INXS Kicks way back in the day too. good album
Liking Oasis isn't seen as very cool, but they're good, so props to Chris on that one.
@RickySuave Agreed. I noticed he was looking at Dwight Sings Buck in the beginning as well, another fantastic album.
I love how my favorite band (Girls) is digging my Second Favorite band (smith westerns).
joy division - love will tear us apart.
If you like Girls, check out
Ted Duchamp - Midnight Sun! Think you'll like it
kinda surprising this doesn't have more views
chrissybaby's got impeccable taste in country.
Anyone else catch him saying he had the album on vinyl in his iTunes? 😂 2:11
Niiice! He loves Oasis! I love Girls and Oasis!
I just fucking love them. All of you here probably do as well.
Im not sure Lawrence from Felt would approve of some of your musical purchases! ;)
chrissybaby is so perfect omfg
Christopher Owens likes Oasis. That kinda took me by surprise there...
He bought such cool records got inspired.
Casually slide in the Wannadies at the end. I liked that.
I really want to hear 'I don't want problems.'
I hate when people say 'Be Here Now' from Oasis is a bad album...It isn't...The only thing wrong with the album is the songs are all about a minute too long.
Marine girls ❤❤
Can Chrissy be more cuter than this?!
@OdeToNecrophilia theyre actually pretty genuine, whoever wrote that is right, they are simple and humble yet they produce beautiful music
check the Jay Reatard album behind the sweatered guy
@theeightofcups loads of people still listen to vinyl, i like vinyl because owning it feels so good, i like to experience every part of the music including artwork etc. with a download you don't get any physical hold on the record
also the sound quality of vinyl is way better than cd's
omg seriously what is that song playing from 0:00-0:29??? love it!
That is "Laura" by Girls.
there needs to be an ariel pink whats in my bag!
I had the weirdest feeling that someone would pull out Master of Puppets.. and it came true!
I remember there was a site where you could buy the iron-on patch that Christopher has in this video. Does anyone know what the site is?
"I wrote one song called 'I don't want problems.'" AHAHHA.
I really am anticipating his reggae album lol.
INXS is a modern pop album?
Amoeba do you give them these records free of charge for doing these segments?
Though I'm not really into Girls and don't get the hype, they seem like a couple of really nice guys.
haha what a joker, Owens' cheeky smile creeping through
He reminds me of Jason Mewes so much...
what is the song playing during the credits at the end?
I can totally look past his funky teef if he can look past my inability to spell
Christopher, baby, I'm right here !!
what's the song they play at the very end?
christopher's voice sounds different in this video
@randomrick9 What?
The Wannadies - you and me song
@englishvislit you and me song by the wannadies
Oasis Be Here Now is an amazing record.
@eyesoftheworld13 Heavy opiates. No one ever mentioned heroin specifically. Could be Oxycontin, I dunno.
Oasis!!!!!
name of the song at the end? please :)
Thank you!!! :)
Dario Altamirano it's also as extra track on the what i think "the best" wannadies record "bagsy me"
I'm going to hear it now , thanks a lot Rui. :D
Dario Altamirano Darude Sandstorm
Poor guy. He’s a mess now because he was raised in the children of god.
What are the odds?
Chet is the master.
Chris owens
Christopher seems really nice and unpretentious.
christopher's voice sound so different here
pizza and cola are good
randy newman
DRIPS
@sja0925 He's been through some fucked up shit.
gram parsons
@WRITERPOET123
That and Christopher Owens grew up in a cult because his mom was crazy (Lust for Life is about her). When he left he got into drugs and shit.
whos to say they dont (didnt...) have a thing for crack
The only things that I've heard they were on was Heroin and some type of pills. I haven't read anything yet about crack
i get the point you're trying to make but why ya gotta bring florence and the machine into this? everybody thinks they have good taste in music and thinks that it's better than everybody else's
the wannadies, you and me
Christopher Owens writes fantastic songs. Why does he have such bad taste?
what would you have rather him chose?
You know when someone tells you, "you have a booger in your nose" and your like, thank God, I would've walked around all night with that thing. It's in that same spirit I say, this guy has got to fix those teeth. He's handsome, funny, talented...etc., but damn, it would be the best 2500 bucks he ever spent.
@crazymiles Maybe you have bad taste, my friend.
That's kinda tite lol
why are you sorry for me? be sorry for your xenophobic self
what is the name of the song that comes at the end?
The wannabes you and me
*not too sure but I kinda think that's the title and band
@@gumbee9967 Wannadies :)
@@spiralstairs omg yes hahhah I totally butchered that, thank u 🙏😅😁
