What could be cooler than going record shopping with
Paul Weller? In a new edition of Amoeba Records’ series
What’s In My Bag, Weller goes record hunting at the iconic Hollywood store and picks up a copy of the Tropicalia collection, John Coltrane’s
A Love Supreme, a reissue LP of T-Rex (“
he really spoke to kids of his time”) a collection of Ethiopian music, the U.S. version of Traffic’s
Heaven Is In Your Mind (“
it’s in mono!”), Stockhausen, Rodriguez, and Dinah Washington.
“I could spend a week here,” said Weller, “and I’d still be at the tip of the iceberg." Paul has a few festival gigs this spring in the UK but we're hoping that he'll be back in the U.S. in the fall. Stay tuned.
