I have a conversation with Instagram's @thejazzbasement a.k.a. Jason, a 45 year-old gentleman from Washington D.C. who falls into the category of what I call a "heavyweight collector". We discuss buying records that cost $1,000+, making sacrifices, budgeting, sparking joy, anxiety around minimalist collecting, YouTube show and tell videos, jealousy, depression, IVF and becoming a father, losing 40 pounds, and getting kicked out of The Record Collector in L.A., amongst other things.
