Putting the 'X' in eXtra, this latest BONUS TRAX following the pod-proper edition of SURFACE NOISE is one for the books! The dais discusses some disagreement in the Vinyl Community over the recent Because Sound Matters edition of Prince's classic "Purple Rain", and how important it can be to disagree with kindness. And we learn a new term for our vinyl thesaurus: "seasoned audiophile".  The guys put some attention on some deals and steals and ask the question: is it officially markdown season? The show closes with some cd buy-up strategy talk and a pointed discussion on whether regular sellers at record shows should be charging the same prices as brick and mortar record stores.  Is Discogs the villain in all this? Possibly.

Grab a bag of popcorn and your beverage of choice, because the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE discusses vinyl records in film - movies that featured vinyl, focused on vinyl, or where records were a significant element of the presentation. Fiction, documentary, the real star of the show is the music coming off that sweet, sweet wax, and we are talking about it! First we touch on current events in the record collecting world and music, including breaking news on the loss of KISS founding member and rock guitar legend Ace Frehley. Rest in Power, Space Ace. ☄️

The hits and misses keep coming on SURFACE NOISE: BONUS TRAX where the panel discusses where they find the "vinyl inspiration" to discover new music through collecting records. This can be a simple as collecting any release connected to a beloved artist or band to round out a complete discography, to deep diving producers, musicians, or other connective tissue from a favorite release, or simply discovering new genres, artists, or works from a song, a story, or a video that keeps the road to discovery fun and fruitful with new knowledge exploration to explore. Along those lines, The Grooveseeker shares a new band - the only two deejays in Italy, apparently - called Mind Enterprises, followed by Concert Buddie sharing a recent guilty pleasure along those lines (Dabeull). Sprinkle in some trusty VMP detective work and a tribute to the somewhat legendary Jennifer Love Hewitt and this program calls it a night. Got records? We do. And these BONUS TRAX keep them spinning!   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency):  https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency IG: @fidelios_frequency   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker IG: @thegrooveseeker   For more on David Bianco (Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion): https://www.youtube.com/@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion Part 1 of his interview with Bernie Grundman:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO_WFCm1DAU     For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

Flip that record over and listen to the latest 'sode of SURFACE NOISE where our dais of audiophiliacs discuss the latest news in the wild world of vinyl record collecting - Taylor Swift, Miles Davis, and Danzig reissues - who knew?!?

Following the latest SURFACE NOISE episode, our BONUS TRAX segment featured a question many record collectors face at some point: am I ready to move off my collection? Friend of the show MrHoffame (Brandon), one of the OG's of the Vinyl Community on YouTube is at that very crossroads. The panel digs deep into where this sentiment came from with Brandon, where he's at in his process and approach, and does that mean he's getting out - completely? Plus, Arnaldo's HOT streak continues as he finds another OG that is sure to get people talking. Settle in for a very special BONUS TRAX.

Haven't quenched your appetite for record collecting talk

For this latest trip around the turntable, our band of dedicated record collectors discuss waiting (and waiting...and waiting) for pre-orders to ship - why the delays, why do stores and retail get their copies before direct-to-consumer and fan store buys, and is there anything we can do about it? We also discuss the recent Tone Poet release of a Frank Sinatra record ("In the Wee Small Hours") and what that could mean for the reissue wars and what is left for them to put out to market. Plus current events and questionable music takes that will make the wallpaper peel. Only on SURFACE NOISE.

How far is TOO far to go for records? No, no, we are not talking about putting sugar in your competition's gas tank. Our dais of dedicated vinylists discuss just how far they would travel to seek out new (to them) records. But first, they dive into current events in the world of record collecting including news of another UHQR release, a Bob Dylan box set announcement, a Neil Young box set announcement, a coveted Spacehog album gets a reissue, and The Beatles (we couldn't do a show without them) dropped Anthology 4 as a stand-alone release.  All that and much, much more.

Working off the rust, our vinyl enthusiasts have much, much more to work out during the FREESTYLE following the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE.  Interscope jumps into the One-Step game with a reissue of Dr. Dre's classic album "The Chronic". Will a Chris Bellman mastering job finally unlock the audiophilia of this masterpiece? Or is this the latest cash grab in this competitive vinyl space? The panel also discusses bands/artists that have never had an authorized live album. A shorter list than you would think, and the list is full of surprises.

Did you miss us? Maybe. Likely. Not everyone. Jump back IN to the latest in vinyl talk that isn't for the faint of heart. This episode of SURFACE NOISE asks our rogue gallery of record collectors why we collect, what we collect.

Our latest episode comes to you from the Cosmic Realm: an alternate dimension from a different time and place. There are no Klingons, no Kree, no Skrulls, no Chitauri here. Instead, we have a great guest from this other worldly sphere - Cosmic Brian - on this latest episode of "Mind of the Record Collector". Ever since making his first Vinyl Community-inspired YouTube video back in 2019, Brian has been a force for good vibes and good music in the Vinyl Community. When he's not cratedigging for more tunes, he'll be talking on his Cosmic Vinyl channel about his collection ranging from psych, to fuzz rock, to just about every genre there is. Like other collectors, the Cosmic One has other interests and things he collects including his other passion, comic books.  Elsewhere in the 'sode Brian shares his own record collecting journey from the start to present day, why he's a big fan of the local St. Louis record scene, and what band he would reunite for one gig only.  Set your phaser on FUN and listen in on the latest "Mind of the Record Collector" here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!  

Free as a bird, and free as The Beatles Anthology 4 announcement isn't, the latest FREESTYLE following SURFACE NOISE goes in all different directions:   New music talk from Wet Leg, to HAIM, to Taylor Swift? ✅ What exactly was the point of the weird letter from the team in charge of VMP now? ✅ Is the songwriter becoming extinct? ✅ Will AI be only the latest adaptation from a music industry with a rich history of borrowing, stealing, and sampling the work of others? ✅   The latest FREESTYLE is here - come take a taste!

Is too many a good thing, a bad thing, or somewhere in between?

So much left to talk about, this FREESTYLE from the latest SURFACE NOISE keeps the record spinning! We check in with the returning Arnaldo for his hottest of takes on the latest UHQR announcement before discussing the underwhelming announcement of the latest Mobile Fidelity One Step release (for pre-order) of Stevie Nicks' "Bella Donna". Are certain titles becoming "doorknob" fodder: every reissue label is taking a turn? Plus, the dais discusses young people fueling the return of cds and how not all cds are created equal. Like vinyl, different country releases often are mastered differently.

Does anyone use a paper map anymore? Not the kind in your smart phone, but a legit paper map? For the latest and not so greatest episode of SURFACE NOISE, our vinyl paleontologists are here to discuss how collecting records makes one a more informed music fan; rather, how listening to one album, one song, one artist/band can spur us to dig deeper, to learn and expand the knowledge further from the various branches that entails. All in the pursuit of music enjoyment...or trying to. Plus David Bianco returns to share news from the front lines after visiting a couple emerging pressing plants in North Carolina with new technology as part of their offerings - it's some pretty awesome advancements you don't want to miss! All this with the help of friend of the show, and owner of the best name in the VC proper, Depeche Commode (Chris) making his debut appearance on the dais, we have a show for the ages on deck.    This, is SURFACE NOISE.   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on 1st Timer Chris (Depeche Commode): https://www.youtube.com/@Depeche_Commode   For more on David Bianco (Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion): https://www.youtube.com/@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion   For more on Arnaldo (Fidelios_Frequency): https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

For the latest bonus disc of SURFACE NOISE, this FREESTYLE touches on news of the next two UHQR's from Acoustic Sounds: "Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section" and "Way Out West" from the legendary Sonny Rollins. Does our panel feel these are more great choices, or more of the same from this series? ACould there be market fatigue with some of these curation choices being repeated over and over, across reissue campaigns? nd where are the Bob Marley UHQR's? One inquiring mind not in attendance definitely wants to know! Following that discussion, we bring it home talking about the best names in music - artists or bands with names so good, they might even be better than the actual music they made.  It's the record talk you didn't know you needed, until you didn't have it - it's the latest FREESTYLE courtesy of SURFACE NOISE!   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on guest Jefferson (Tubelandia): https://www.youtube.com/@JeffersonDD   For more on guest Alex (Beer & Vinyl): https://www.youtube.com/@beerandvinyl   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker   For more on Jose Moreno Rahn: https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

BOGO this week only on SURFACE NOISE! For your freebie, here is the latest FREESTYLE!

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. If tragedy or bad decision-making didn't take place, how would parts of the popular cultural landscape potentially look different? It's the one they warned you about: SURFACE NOISE!  

It's the show in the know about the music format that costs some dough - SURFACE NOISE!  Getting ready for a long holiday weekend in the US, our panelists are sharing their "lookout" records - records that they'd ask other collectors in their orbit to look for in their travels to records shows and stores near, far, and anywhere they can't get to themselves. Are they only grails? Are they expensive? Find out! Then the discussion turns to markdowns - are we already in "markdown season" of stores and retailers heavily discounting their wares? Finally we return to "Kindness Corner" to share some light "flowers" to give others in this vinyl community of ours.  All this and bad jokes galore (and John Bong RETURNS), only on SURFACE NOISE!

The extras aren't extra here on SURFACE NOISE - case in point, the latest FREESTYLE following the podcast proper. Still filling in for the AWOL Jose, "John Bong" helps lead a spirited discussion on "unofficial European imports" and whether they are good (or bad) for today's hobby. Arnaldo shares some of the records he tried to unsuccessfully trade at VINYLCON: Philly, and more hijinks ensured.    Download and go, this is the bonus record talk you didn't ask for....courtesy of the FREESTYLE + SURFACE NOISE!  

The show of record talking about records is BACK: SURFACE NOISE! ⌨️ On our show this week the dais talks about MoFi selling their returned records back to customers (and others doing the same), and we hear from our correspondent on the ground about VinylCon in Philly.
