Record Shop Talk: Post-Record Store Day 2026 Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Gen Xer and Goldmine editor Patrick Prince talks to his co-host, Gen Zer Holden Russiano, about this year's Record Store Day experience at Luna Records in Franklin, Tennessee (and, of course, other record stores). What RSD releases sold the most? Was there an overnight line? How many people showed up? Was there a great sale on used records? The hosts run the gamut, and discovered that they liked the used records that they found on sale as much as the RSD releases that they were lucky to pick up. Overall, a great day for record collectors.

Yet that only takes into account the sales of newly pressed vinyl records, not used vinyl. The hosts debate the possible sales numbers for untracked used vinyl records. Then they discuss grading techniques and Taylor Swift as the definitive vinyl-format savior, among other things. Listen in!

Record Shop Talk: Prog 2.0 Albums Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

Hosts Patrick Prince (Goldmine editor) and Holden Russiano (Luna Record Shop) talk about creating a Progressive Rock sub-genre category in the record store racks: "Prog 2.0." Why not? As prog transitioned from the '70s to the '80s, it became more commercially accessible and, dare we say, catchy. Should there be a section dedicated to just that? (And author Martin Popoff did a Top 20 Prog 2.0 for the Goldmine website to guide us!)

Listen in — it's like hanging out in a record store and talking shop!
