    Ivy Insights

    The Vinyl Community Podcasts is a hidden gem in the world of podcasts that I wish I had discovered sooner. With its diverse range of topics, genres, and hosts, there is always something new to listen to at least twice a week. It has quickly become a "must-listen" for me.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its variety. The hosts cover a wide range of topics related to vinyl records, from discussions on specific albums or artists to insights into the history and culture surrounding vinyl. This diversity keeps each episode fresh and engaging, ensuring that there is something for every listener's taste. Additionally, the hosts themselves are knowledgeable and passionate about vinyl, creating an authentic and enjoyable listening experience.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is its chronological exploration of different eras and trends in music. Starting from the early days of vinyl up until more recent times, the podcast takes listeners on a journey through time, shedding light on interesting facts and events along the way. As someone who appreciates music history, I found this approach fascinating and it gave me a deeper appreciation for vinyl as a medium.

    While it's hard to find any major flaws with The Vinyl Community Podcasts, one minor downside could be that some episodes may not be as relevant or interesting to certain listeners depending on their musical tastes or level of interest in vinyl. However, given the wide range of topics covered by the podcast, this is only a minor issue that can easily be skipped over by choosing episodes that appeal more directly to personal preferences.

    In conclusion, The Vinyl Community Podcasts is an incredible find for anyone interested in vinyl records and music history. With its diverse topics, engaging hosts, and chronological exploration of different eras in music, it offers something for everyone. Whether you're new to vinyl or have been collecting for years, this podcast provides valuable insights and entertainment that will keep you coming back for more.

    The show of record on collecting records had a power-packed show lined up, but as fate would have it, The Beatles had other ideas (thanks Ringo). We kick off SURFACE NOISE talking about the sudden announcement of the Beatles + Mono boxset repress coming in a few weeks: who is picking it up, why repress this again (first since 2014), and what will these mean for those who already have the 2014 version and will likely see their value plummet. Then, as the Surface Noise Boys begins summer hours, our panel of vinylists discuss the greatest "what if's" in music history.

    Back on the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts, Alex (Beer & Vinyl) shares a recent interview with musician/songwriter M Ross Perkins. M Ross Perkins is currently a featured artist on the Colemine Records label, and has a new album that dropped on May 2nd (interview recorded prior) entitled "What's The Matter, M Ross?" Composed, performed, and recorded completely by Perkins in his Dayton, OH studio, What's the Matter… is both the most stripped down and expansive within his tryptic of albums ("Wrong, Wrong, Wrong", "E Pluribus M Ross", and Now "What's The Matter..."). The headphone symphonies move with a deliberate, composed sophistication while the lyrics explore fresh territory, turning the camera away from the “butterscotch revue” and pointing it into a mirror. "The touchstones of psych pop remain: flourishes of Nilsson are still here, but so are Gram Parsons and Jonathan Richman. If you want to assign geography to What's the Matter, M Ross?, the album is equal parts Laurel Canyon and Big Pink, more Woodstock the town than the festival. Perkins is a self-contained (late-period) Teenage Fanclub with George Harrison's spiritual sense of inner wanderlust. Want a free copy? Available to anyone in lower 48 states head over to the Beer & Vinyl YouTube channel (specific video link below) and comment with some kind of musical connection to the state of Ohio. Deadline to enter is May 16th, 2025. And don't forget to check out thew new album "What's the Matter, M Ross" at your local independent record store or direct from Colemine Records (link also below).

    Welcome back Buddies! For this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts, we have a guest and a conversation so rare, so valuable, so unique, that we had to enlist another host to reign in this collecting madness! Joined in the co-pilot seat by Spinz Vinyl (Jason), we speak with Wayne Johnson: co-owner and co-founder of Rockaway Records in Silver Lake, CA. Founded alongside brother Gary Johnson in 1979, Rockaway has seen the peaks, valleys, and rebirth of music on vinyl, while also growing, shrinking, and pivoting their business in various forms along the way. What once was the largest store in the Los Angeles area, Rockaway has diversified their focus to not only include the rarest of vinyl recordings, but also pieces of memorabilia that can only be dreamed about.  We are talking much more than a Beatles' "Butcher" covers here: think BIGGER...think RARER....think UNBELIEVABLE pieces, unreal stories, and customers that would make the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Museum blush: Jimmy Page, Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, Chris Robinson, and other music loyalty. Even Lucinda Williams once worked at this legendary store! We are talking items that the public rarely gets to see, with access and the ability to provide a revolving inventory that not few stores can compete with.  Also in the conversation Wayne shares some great advice for those considering seriously purchasing unique vinyl or memorabilia, gives his thoughts on the emerging "slabbing" of vinyl, and offers his opinions on auction house buys and sourcing today versus 10, 15, 30, and even 45 years ago at the beginning of his journey. It's a fun walk down memory lane, and one you will find here RIGHT NOW on Vinyl Community Podcasts! Walk with us!

"With a steadfast dedication to vinyl records, cassette tapes, and the cherished memories they evoke, he champions the cause of the authentic, the cherished, and the timeless. Amid the convenience of digital streaming, his store stands as a bastion for the physical, a haven where the crackle of a record and the tactile joy of flipping a cassette side reign supreme. Yet, he navigates the balance between analog passion and the digital era, occasionally embracing the pristine sounds of CDs and SACDs....In a world quick to forget the value of the past, he operates beyond the mainstream, ensuring that the spirit of music's golden ages remains alive and accessible for all who seek refuge from the relentless advance of the digital domain" Hear firsthand the efforts involved in operating a physical store + global online marketplace for music fans around the world, information on new releases, running his own record label of often overlooked music marvels, and the work invested in procuring and obtaining music for his customers.

    Back in the building for 2025, this A-Side 'sode of SURFACE NOISE is one not to miss! Join our dais of doomsdayers as they look into their crystal balls and share their predictions for record collecting (their own and the hobby as a whole) for 2025. Then we get a segment called "Give Me a Break" (and no, this will not serve as a Nell Carter tribute). Don't be late, and don't be lame. SURFACE NOISE is the name of our game! But first: as mentioned at the end of this show, please consider helping a member of the Vinyl Community who is recovering from a horrific auto accident.

    New year, new FREESTYLE, who dis? Listen to our committed collectors talk a little more Bob Dylan, then a detour into early hip-hop records, before parking the vinyl bus sharing latest pickups (some from the big 50% sales of late) and learning that Chris has a secret; he's a TPS member.

    For the 1st SURFACE NOISE (B-Side) of 2025 we're kicking the new year off with a lively discussion about music biopics—what's worked, what hasn't, and what we want to see next. From there we dive deep into the brand-new Bob Dylan film A Complete Unknown, unpacking its take on the legendary artist's life and legacy. Then we'll share our very own biopic wish lists and ones they should do/could not do. All this and MORE, only on SURFACE NOISE!
