It’s been a moment since we last checked in with Fuse TV’s Crate Diggers series,
the show that visits some of your favorite people in the biz and checks out their
personal record collections. I’m happy to see that the series isn't just sticking
to hip-hop/electronic oriented folks as it could have easily had.
In last weeks episode, Hank Williams III got the
treatment and talks about the hundreds
of metal records his mom burned, a rare Hank Williams recording that's never
seen the light of day, and his punk rock rebellion, check it below…
Fuse TV’s Crate Diggers is a fun show if you are into
collecting music, and as you can image pretty much everyone at Onomatopoeia is.
I thought I would throw up two recent episodes of the show featuring two
collectors who are widely known for their obsessive and impressive vinyl
collections. We start things off with Cut Chemist of the Jurassic 5 who speaks
from the Stable, aka his vault of vinyl where he shares his experiences and
stories from a lifetime of digging, revealing rare treasures, his method of
organizing, and growing up as a DJ in a musical household.
DJ Z-Trip rounds out the second video with a discussion on
his 60 thousand or so records. The DJ is quite humorous about things revealing
that he lost a many a girlfriends over his collection often spending vacations
searching for record stores instead of on the beach! Like the Chemist video Z
shares his preferred method of organizing his collection, BPM’s, as well as
stories about his first record ever purchased, his most expensive record, show
vinyl, mixing and collecting rock over the more popular jazz and funk and why
he is known as the king of the dollar.
