| 6.8.19 12:38 |
| This was one of two tracks that WASN'T a greatest hit, but they were both released as singles and became self-fulfilling prophecies - Fogelberg could do no wrong! (This is also the shortest track on this episode, I think) |
| 6.8.19 12:38 |
| I'll always be grateful to for letting me watch him do and figure out what I wanted to do, and I'll always have a pile of records that are a little more smooth. Fogelberg's greatest hits (50¢) is definitely one I return to |

| This remix is by Ron St. Germain - I've also played one of his Diana Ross extensions on the show |
| 6.8.19 12:31 |
| I don't have as many Fatback 12" singles as I think I do, but I probably own more Fatback albums than I think I do. We're halfway through the hour and the quality insights keep coming, folks! |

| RIP Pete Burns - he left us in 2016. Yesterday would have been his 60th birthday. |

| Thanks to long-time listener and even longer-timer friend Phil for his donation to KFAI! Let this soaring Stock/Aitken/Waterman production represent how my heart feels |

| Whether it's web exclusives like my show or live events they help make happen, is so much more than just a radio station - help them do all the things they do with your pledge of support! https://kfai.org/donate/donations |

| I have multiple copies of this one - it's usually in the crate when I'm playing live with KFAI Vinyl Voices or DJ'ing with other folks. It was the fourth and final single off Dead or Alive's monster LP "Youthquake." |

| RT : “My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The Doctor) (American Wipe-Out Mix)” by Dead or Alive. Dollar Bin at 12:21pm. |
| 6.8.19 12:19 |
| This song features a dizzying array of "gear changes" for the chorus - but I think that's one of the really great things about it. Another wonderful extension - I learned to look for François' name after his remixes in the late 1980s |
| 6.8.19 12:17 |
| "Kiss Me (Vocal)" was from show , preceded by a Caroline Munro/Gary Numan track and followed by a Dana Dane track. It just kinda ended up that way, as most shows do |
| 6.8.19 12:16 |
| I started counting tracks pretty late in the game - around show . Hopefully I was accurate by the time I got to the 200th track, which is the one you're hearing right now (as I said, now also the 271st track) |

| 6.8.19 12:12 |
| The regular "LP Version" of this track has a rockin' guitar solo that must not have felt very "disco" as it doesn't show up here - I did play it on 's show once |
| 6.8.19 12:11 |
| I didn't know until I looked her up on Discogs but Taka Boom is Chaka Khan's sister - it DOES explain some of her vocal stylings |
| 6.8.19 12:09 |
| More slap bass! |
| 6.8.19 12:09 |
| This is Taka Boom! I bought this 12" solely based on the track length and the words "Disco Version" - that technique is usually worth risking the dollar. |
| 6.8.19 12:08 |
| Wow, "new Twitter" sure doesn't like tweeting until the second time I hit that "Tweet" button, huh? |
| 6.8.19 12:07 |
| This is apparently a Sennheiser vocoder. That would have been a good thing to mention DURING the show, but I often do my research a little too late. |

| I love a good slap bass! I also love and hope you consider making a pledge inspired by today's to help https://kfai.org/donate/donations/ (you can also try to pledge to get me to STOP tweeting, but you'll still be with me for the next hour) |
| 6.8.19 12:04 |
| Fashion and Duran Duran came up together but "Fabrique" didn't quite get the promotional/label oomph that "Rio" did - one wonders how new wave/new romantic might have evolved if they had been a little more level |
| 6.8.19 12:02 |
| This is FASHIØN, one of the groups that's gotten the most popular feedback from others AND me - I've found three of their 12" singles for a dollar each and played four different long tracks of theirs on the show. |

| This was PRETTY OKAY RADIO OKAY - thanks to Kris Head for being my first ever radio "guest" and doing a decent job of selecting at that. My skills as an interviewer (say two words, shut up for 60 seconds) are on grand display as well. Thanks to everybody who caught bits of it live; now you can catch all 119:57 for the next fortnight! |

Shout outs if you want 'em, let us know or call in (don't call in). Some of you will get shout outs anyway and you'll NEVER know because you DIDN'T listen. DON'T DO US LIKE THAT |

| Tonight, After Midnight on KFAI, could be the greatest radio idea I've had yet and/or the worst...I'm bringing Kris Head along and he's suggesting most of the music programming. Fortunately, he's managed to avoid the stuff with all the swears in it so far... |
| 2.7.19 11:14 |
| RT : Also, the first two hour broadcast of "After Midnight" can be found archived at https://www.kfai.org/episode/07-02-2019-after-midnight/ - if you're a fan of this show and/or , you will probably enjoy this one too! |

| RT : Here's Episode ! Not a bad one to take a hiatus after. https://www.kfai.org/episode/07-02-2019-dollar-bin/ />
We'll be back after 's mini-residency is over. We'll also work on moving the Dollar Bin Archive to KFAI's Mixcloud while we're away so you can easily stream EVERY episode! |
| 1.7.19 19:16 |
| Oh, by the way, I'm live on the radio for two hours tonight at midnight CDT playing music and absolutely not talking about professional wrestling |
| 1.7.19 11:22 | 
| If somehow you only hear about what's going on through this old page, I am beginning a mini-residency on KFAI 90.3 FM (and simulcast on WQNA 88.3 in Springfield, IL) *tonight* running for a few weeks or through July or I'm not totally sure. I'm an interim host between Mason moving Cruise Control off the schedule until KFAI can announce their permanent replacement. What I DO know is that you can expect an unrestrained 120 minutes (give or take) of KZiM programming on REAL LIVE ACTUAL radio! Golly!
Tune in at midnight CDT (1am Tuesday EDT, 10pm Monday PDT) AND/OR stream it any time over the following fortnight! And if you want, you could throw a free Like over to the show's FB page, After Midnight on KFAI. |
| 1.7.19 11:17 |
| Just spent a couple hours over on Spinitron working on progamming stuff and I'm definitely ready to take over the [community] radio world tomorrow - look then for a last Dollar Bin on KFAI before our "called up to the majors" hiatus, along with my FIRST show After Midnight on KFAI TONIGHT!

Oh yeah also WQNA 88.3 / wqnaradioorg |
