After 4 intensive days of recording with Steve Albini (WTF!?! Thought he didn't like jazz) The Thing created Bag It!, a new mastodon of ecstasy music. The Thing is well known for their free jazz versions of rock classics from artists such as PJ Harvey, White Stripes, The Sonics, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Lightning Bolt. This time the band is only doing two rock interpretations, one by Japan's 54 Nude Honeys & one by the The Ex/ Muzsikás. The rest of the tracks on the album are written by Mats Gustafsson, Åke Hodell, The Thing, Duke Ellington & Albert Ayler. The CD version also contains an extra bonus CD with a 30 minutes long impro suite (also recorded by Albini) titled "Beef Brisket - for Ruby's".
