Douglas McCombs and John Herndon from post-rock band Tortoise go record shopping at Amoeba San Francisco in this "What's In My Bag?" episode. From Tom Verlaine, Silent Serpent, David Thomas of Pere Ubu, and Broadcast, it may seem like they only pick albums by dead musicians. But never fear, they talk about some living artists too! Touch, the first new Tortoise album since 2016, is out now via Nonesuch / International Anthem.
