Bosstones’ guitarist Nate Albert Hunts for His White Whale Record at VinylCon LA

Nate Albert was collecting vinyl before he ever picked up a guitar. The former Mighty Mighty Bosstones guitarist caught his first show — Minor Threat, in Boston — as a kid, and if you look closely at the crowd shot on the back of Gang Green's Another Wasted Night, you can spot him in it. At VinylCon LA, Albert sat down with Matt Pinfield to trace that history: a lifelong obsession with the Clash, falling for punk before he was a teenager, and the records he walked away with from the convention floor, including a Yusef Lateef’s Jazz Mood and the Nirvana/Melvins split "Here She Comes Now"/"Venus in Furs,”, a pair of Velvet Underground covers. 00:00 Intro 00:50 The records that started it all for Nate Albert 01:22 Finding The Mighty Mighty Bosstones 01:56 Nate Albert's finds from VinylCon LA 03:32 Nate Albert's Record Grails Nate Albert on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/artist/759428-Nate-Albert The Mighty Mighty Bosstones on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/artist/275193-The-Mighty-Mighty-Bosstones?redirected=true 'Another Wasted Night' by Gang Green: https://www.discogs.com/master/117495-Gang-Green-Another-Wasted-Night 'Jazz Mood' by Yusef Lateef: https://www.discogs.com/master/345585-Yusef-Lateef-Jazz-Mood "Here Comes The Sun"/"Venus In Furs" by Nirvana / The Melvins: https://www.discogs.com/master/283421-Nirvana-The-Melvins-Buzzo-Here-She-Comes-Now-Venus-In-Furs -- Unlock the ultimate record collecting experience: https://www.discogs.com/about/get-started/ SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/discogs Check us on Social @Discogs: Follow Discogs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discogs Follow Discogs on X: https://twitter.com/discogs Follow Discogs on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/discogs Follow Discogs on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@discogs Follow Discogs on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/discogsofficial.bsky.social
