When and how did you get into Garbage?
Like most Garbage fans…’Push It’ was the first video on MTV I’ve seen by them, loved the song and the video. At first I also thought that Shirley was Marilyn Manson’s sister lol.
When did you start collecting?
When my older bought me Version 2.0 CD as my birthday present back in 1998.
Do you or did you have any aims when you started out collecting?
Well I realized my aims when I first discovered the Garbage Discography site, I didn’t even have any idea about the Trash items till I asked you (Rob) lol and I had like 7 trash Items at that time!
How big is your collection?
I’m halfway through my Trash Collection, but my entire Garbage collection is around 100 +
What is your favourite Garbage item in your collection?
Trash 19 – Version 2.0 promo album with cd-rom content
How much do you think you have spent on your collection?
I would say around $300 Canadian dollars or less because I got most of them cheap without knowing how much they would actually cost these days…lucky me!
What’s the most you have spent on a Garbage item?
Not that much…It was the Trash 9/10 promo vinyl… I got it for around $50 Canadian dollars but like I said I got most of them cheap without knowing how much they would actually cost these days
What’s the most you would ever spend on a Garbage item and what is it?
$500 Canadian dollar tops. It would be Trash 1 and 2.
Does your Garbage collecting Obsession stretch to seeing the band live in concert?
Eg: Do you follow the band from Show to Show for a period during a tour?
I don’t follow them but whenever they tour in Toronto, I definitely go see them live.
Will you ever sell your Garbage collection? If you were asked this same question in 5 years time what would your answer be?
No, I have been collecting other stuff and haven’t sold any of them, except if I have copies of the same Item, but I love my collections to death!
GARBAGE ROCKS!
