  • Enjoyable

    Very good podcast, excellent companion to the magazine, my only issue is that Patrick Prince is not a good interviewer, he tends to laugh quiet frequently to his own comments usually followed by an awkward silence by the interviewee. Otherwise it provides good information.

The Dollar Bin: Liege Lord triumph trad metal in concert and in their record collections
Q: So a quick question, obviously to both of you. For you guys, was there an album in the beginning of all this? In the beginning of your life of music, was there an album that you got or you heard or you purchased that really kicked it off for you to where you were like, oh, man, I got to start collecting records.
They discuss foundational albums that sparked their collecting journeys, with Aerosmith Toys in the Attic and Magical Mystery Tour as pivotal early picks, highlighting how one album can ignite a lifelong passion for vinyl and discovery of a broader catalog.
The Dollar Bin: Joe Shanahan, Chicago music scene pioneer
Q: Joe, do you remember, was there a record in the beginning that you remember being given or purchasing or getting where you went, I want to collect these.
Joe recalls buying Get Off My Cloud by the Rolling Stones as his first record, saved from his paper route money, which sparked his lifelong collecting habit and later informed his DJ choices and curation at the venues.
The Dollar Bin: Dave Merriman ("Little Dave")
Q: What was your first significant album that influenced your life?
He mentions that Def Leppard's 'Pyromania' was his first significant album that made a huge impact on him.
