Egon.

The latest episode of Fuse's "Crate Diggers" series features one of the ultimate maniacs of them all, Egon, the guy behind Now-Again Records, but also one of the spirits backing Madlib as a producer, and Peanut Butter Wolf as a label manager. 
For those who don't know, Egon has a passion for digging places you wouldn't imagine going to. Well, these days, it's most likely to be virtual or mail digging, as he almost never travels to the places he buys his records from. Those absolute rarities (espcially because Egon manages to put his hands on records in very good condition, which is a miracle for African records for example) come to him in the mailbox, providing huge amount of money sent through Western Union. Modern digging... a costly but efficient one, obviously. 

A good episode, even if Egon doesn't display a lot of unknown. Most of the records he shows have already of will pretty soon be reissued (watch out for the Heitkotter's record).
