Me: *Expecting to have some shoegaze, rock and post rock recomendations* DIIV: *Actually gives better music recomendations of genres that i like and i love it*
I've been watching this channel for years and would say this might be the most diverse and cool selection(s?) pretty impressive but not pretentious or overbearing, great job well done.
Jared O Lantern so you’re saying not famous = pretentious? I don’t see why people who like less known music have to be called pretentious, it’s just like calling people who like popular music posers
@@spoonnoise8332 Agreed. Actually, I think the word "pretentious" itself should be banned from the conversation when it comes to art, because what is art if not self-expression, e.g. presenting your inner world to the outer one, and to say about Anybodys works of art that its pretentious is pointless, at the very least.
Yup - I liked their debut to an extent, but didnt care for the sophomore at all. However, the instant I heard Taker I was intrigued enough to give the other tracks a chance. At first didnt care for Blankenship but it has really grown on me, and in the end I have the Tri-color LP - no regrets. Most of the songs have that exact shoegaze sound I love, and the songwriting itself is quite good overall, so yeah - on of my faves of the past year as well. I must say, though, the surprise Whirr record that came out about the same time is The shoegaze album of 2019 for me.
yeah, used to call them "deev", but I learnt about the correct pronunciation when I read a little about the band's history, and yeah, their previous name was Dive
Met Rob Pollard backstage at Reading Festival (1995). Didn't know any GBV music then, as I was only 15, but he was such a cool guy. More like a school teacher/your uncle, than a rockstar - down to earth and unpretentious. Bought us beers and chatted to us whilst all these famous people also playing the Friday (Beasties, Courtney Love, Billy Corgan, Beck) were walking around being famous and swooned over.
I would have thought they were listening to shoegaze, dream pop, goth and post punk and I discovered an hip hop fanatic, a jazz head and a 60s 70s psychedelia krautrock lover. That makes them even more great!
@@CelticMudkip Agreed - I really wish Broderick might bring that sound back at some point. Walk on Water and Friends are Evil are some of the best doomgaze songs ever.
Bee Thousand is one of my favourite albums - great pick. Criminally underrated! So many good songs - Smothered in Hugs, Tractor Rape Chain, I am a Scientist, Echos Myron... I could go on
@@Kkidzz hardcore fans yes! I meant by the general public - it's lesser known than Crooked Rain Crooked Rain by Pavement and other such indie albums from the 90s I think.
that was flavorful! at the core of all the dissonance are these melancholic songs, hell yes. a perfect description of jesu, and that holds true for diiv's music in some respect. you get these two different environments but in either instance there's a gloomy song at the heart. it's awesome to know there are hip-hop and bleepy music influences alike, running thru diiv's blood.
Great music taste! love this band! Deceiver was one of my favorite albums of 2019. love what they picked up except Grimes. I'm glad they also picked up Jesu, Bowery Electric and Meat puppets. They are amazing.
"Hi, we're DIIV. We're here to do that drywall job."
Everyone looks like they are going to make Trainspotting 3
TIL there is a Trainspotting 2
@@willcantor5720 It's OK but you didnt miss anything not seeing it earlier
www.imdb.com/title/tt2763304/
Will Cantor it basically doesnt exist tho
@Oliver Eales Yes, it called t2. based on the book porno by Irvine welsh.
Dude in the beanie has really good hip hop taste
He shoulda got E. 1999 Eternal tho
Each member had completely different genres. Such a wide variety between all the members
Woahhhhhh
culTuRE
Such varied taste for a band that writes one song over and over again lol
Love them tho
You should check out their Podcast!!!

DIIV: *Actually gives better music recomendations of genres that i like and i love it*
4:45 the way Cole is listening and nodding at what Colin's saying is adorable
so good to see Cole looking healthy!
looks like a completely different person.
New hair .origional color

Andrew, if you are reading any of the comments, I want to say thanks for turning me on to Your Old Droog! What a great artist!
I love this band so much, I really really enjoyed their last project! I play it everyday before work!
I get so much from listening to what other musicians listening to
right
These are brilliant picks.
you misspelled pretentious.

@@JaredOLantern
Many of their picks were innovative artists.
i clicked out of curiosity because i really like DIIV and now i'm on my way to listen to all of these albums
Diiv is the best, so glad to see them on this finally.
Thanks, Zach! Loved Bowery Electric's Lushlife
Great choices No wonder this band is so good.
DIIV’s bags are a whole different universe of great records.
"deceiver" was one of my absolute favorites! fantastic, darting guitars, hazy and dreamy yet so loud and in your face, but soothing!
"hejira"

You're welcome if you like really good sounds
Sergej Lovrekovic odličan je al meni je oshin najbolji!
You guys are SO wonderful. Please never go away!
andrew is one of my favorite guitar players and its really cool to see that hes a cool dude too
Love when these Alternative dudes showing their favorite rap album, even Kevin Shields like hiphop at some point (public enemy)
Shields was also into the House/Acid House/Jungle/DnB scenes as well.
That bone thugs record was one of the first CDs I ever owned back when I was like 8. Truly underrated.
Probably everyone: Aaah, so that is how you pronounce DIIV.
yes, yes.. all those years of calling them by there initials, just D-I-I-V y'all
Been making jokes about how it's pronounced "Dave" for too long.
yeah, used to call them "deev", but I learnt about the correct pronunciation when I read a little about the band's history, and yeah, their previous name was Dive
I think the mojority of people knew how to pronounce their name before. :)
I said Div...like Divet...except Div.
nice picks, Colin! so nice to see ya be a part of this series! v happy for ya!! ^_^
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER
mahargllednif same! So happy it’s here!
Bowery electric are great 👌🏼
It's always fun when a band's music sounds exactly as you think it will after you've looked at them
this may be the best video ive ever seen, cant wait to play their recommendations
Haven’t heard from these guys in awhile...nice to see them on here!
Love DIIV. They got me into Guided By Voices.
The love for Art Angels is sending me
I'm loving how Guided By Voices is getting so much play in these features... they're so damn good

played some bruce haack on my radio show the other day love that man Canadian genius
I just checked out Bowery electric so good thank you
So many interesting picks. Love these guys!
dude in the beanie knows whats up
I like that the guy who grabs the hip-hop is the only guy who doesn't look like he's into hip-hop. :) Cool picks all around.
He does look like he's into 90s hip hop, tho.
Looks like Diplo
I guess Cole sticking with his Steve Jobs look
MoeMoneyrunstheWORLD this made me laugh big time !
Alright...I'm gonna have to check them out. Their picks are tasty!
E.W. "SquErl" Tiffin -E3PercussionPRO definitely do !!
Jay looks weird without Silent Bob next to him
He's chilling with Mr Robot though.
Ha ha
The Philip Glass! The double time signature
Cole looks like Pasha Antipov from the Dr. Zhivago (1965) film.
I would have thought they were listening to shoegaze, dream pop, goth and post punk and I discovered an hip hop fanatic, a jazz head and a 60s 70s psychedelia krautrock lover. That makes them even more great!
Luca Capezio I felt this comment !!
First record you’d find in my bag: DIIV’s Is The Is Are. In-fucking-credible 🔥🔥🔥
My sons favourite band, cool!
🐜
Love Pentangle!
Love Cluster!
Where's souvlaki?
i'm sure they all have heard souvlaki before
pretty sure they all own atleast 3 copies
Yeah for real I love that album.
Deceiver is amazing
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So captivating and informative...awesome selections/awesome band.
Jesu, hell yeah man. Must have been looking for Conqueror album? Early Jesu is best though
Self titled is the best. Some of it is cry-worthy beautiful.
@@CelticMudkip True, their best in my opinion. "Heart Ache" is also poignantly beautiful
@@CelticMudkip Agreed - I really wish Broderick might bring that sound back at some point. Walk on Water and Friends are Evil are some of the best doomgaze songs ever.
@@19RaxR91 friends are evil is one of the best songs period
Conqueror is beautiful
I LOVE DIIV
Cole is looking great, glad he is better.
I want the "thanks guys" as my ringtone. Best part of my week
Great band. Great picks. Good dudes.
Big up for picking jesu 🤲🤝
Massively slept on. Some of the most Powerful music out there.
love these people more than anythingggg
Cool guys. Cool taste.
Bee Thousand is one of my favourite albums - great pick. Criminally underrated! So many good songs - Smothered in Hugs, Tractor Rape Chain, I am a Scientist, Echos Myron... I could go on
NOT criminally underrated..... it’s considered a Classic by longtime/hardcore fans.
@@Kkidzz hardcore fans yes! I meant by the general public - it's lesser known than Crooked Rain Crooked Rain by Pavement and other such indie albums from the 90s I think.
i haven't heard these guys before but they sent me though quite a rabbit hole in spotify
I love this show! Thanks amoeba cool picks this week
that was flavorful! at the core of all the dissonance are these melancholic songs, hell yes. a perfect description of jesu, and that holds true for diiv's music in some respect. you get these two different environments but in either instance there's a gloomy song at the heart. it's awesome to know there are hip-hop and bleepy music influences alike, running thru diiv's blood.
I got to say...every pick did it for me. I wish I was on the bus with these guys.
I bought "Young Man" last time I was at Amoeba for those who know...Colin is a great musician!
Had tickets for their shows in Barcelona and Lisboa, which were both cancelled, so was really happy to see this :)
cadavre exquis :(
these guys rock
whoa, Robert Ashley as the #2 pick. hell yeah
Damn cole looks so different
In a bad way though
Olivier Dubé no yes
Olivier Dubé He’s healthier and, in a way, happier now. What’s so wrong about that?
i saw these guys a few months ago in phx
Thumbs up for Bowery Electric!
That Jesu record he has was the one I could never find and it's my favorite! Go figure.
