Roll over Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky that SURFACE NOISE has a FREESTYLE to share with the masses!

Join our squad of vinyl connoisseurs as we discuss the 11th hour news of a VMP lifeline - what do we know, what does it mean for open orders, and what do we feel are the biggest things to avoid for this next incarnation?

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.
Fritz signs off, Shawn is heated after a sloppy start, a massive TSA failure, the wild obituary, RIP to a famous alligator, ChatGPT leads to divorce, crazy concert statistics, big Menendez Brothers news, politicians falling asleep, USA cop vs Canada cop, the latest Diddy case updates and so much more!
Where bad jokes, bad takes, and bad records go to die, the FREESTYLE of the latest 'sode of SURFACE NOISE follows in that esteemed tradition; a tradition like no other. The panel attempts a new segment on new releases called "Grip or Flip" where they discuss whether a title is worth the grip (keeping), or buying to level up on something else (flip). Be forewarned, the landing is rocky. Then our brand of vinyl connosseurs show recent pickups, including some treasures picked from the bins of the Austin Record Convention. It's what you know as the FREESTYLE, and it's coming in HOT, now!
Join us for the latest installment of vinyl record collecting insanity courtesy of SURFACE NOISE‼️ Our panel of dedicated vinylists will discuss the recent spring Austin Record Convention, including observations from the tables, the crates, and the grail walls littered throughout the convention center. Some sold records there, others simply bought. What did they see, who did they meet, what did they grab, and what was Jack White doing there? ⚡️ Then the dais talks about the essential parts of building the perfect record store, including some aspects you might now think about off the top of your head. Plus, how could someone buy the wrong R.E.M. record for another friend and collector? It happened, in real time, and profuse sweating ensued. Catch it all, here, on SURFACE NOISE, right
Back at it, Buddies! Here for a quick 'sode to share what happened when I went to the spring Austin Record Convention over the weekend. Many records were acquired, many meats and eats were consumed, and many memories were made. And no, I did not get to meet Raekwon or Jack White there (yes, that happened). BUT....I still had a good time and will share a brief recap here! Before that, I share some quick news on SURFACE NOISE and what to expect in the short term. Let's start the week off right, and right now, here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!
Apologies to Britney, but ooops we did it again....we found another way to chime in with even MORE Record Store Day talk.
Surface Noise is B-A-C-K!! Our panel of dedicated vinyl enthusiasts present another spin around the turntable, where in this week's podcast proper we'll discuss the hardest records to collect, find, or track down - does it vary by label, by artist, or genre? How much of a pursuit is TOO much of a pursuit (limits, people, limits). Everybody's got a price, but somebody's gotta pay (shoutout to the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase)
Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water, we bring you another FREESTYLE courtesy of the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE: A-Side!
The title says it all.
For a few more fixins' on our vinyl baked potato, in the FREESTYLE of the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE (A-Side) the panel discusses a few more topics: Thoughts on the new Tracy Chapman (self titled) reissue, and how come other companies cannot figure out the pricing puzzle at $25(ish)? Is MoFi back? With some more contemporary curation choices of late, is Mobile Fidelity reissuing titles other won't, can't, or should? When will we finally get a vinyl issue of the infamous Doobie Brothers performance caught on tape from the immortal Fred "Rerun" Berry? You think we are kidding....grab your red beret and listen to find out ONLY on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Action packed and medium paced, SURFACE NOISE: A-Side is back for more news, reviews, and takes that will bruise inside the world of vinyl record collecting.
Our next topic within our FOTS series focuses on the joy of the Lord! What is it, what are misconceptions about it, who has it, what impact does it have on families, and much more!
We are not done ringing out the towel here, folks! For the FREESTYLE after the latest SURFACE NOISE: A-Side, our panel discuss bands or artists that should have been bigger (but were not, for some reasons - known and unknown). They follow that by touching on a light week in current events in the record collecting sphere, then share their latest pickups found for their record collections. Not recommended for your daily run, this FREESTYLE could be hazardous to your health! (Not really)

We are BACK with another adventure into the curious world of vinyl record collecting as SURFACE NOISE: A-Side is in full effect!
Stephanie Carrodegua, Putnay Thomas & Jac Toney join the Bois to talk all things sports and something fitness and obviously some jazz too.
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!
Ruben Arroyo & DJ Tony join the bois to talk BKFC. Mike Murphy also sits down with us to talk Invictus games
In this episode, Cole and Frank begin our series on the FOTS by focusing on love! Specifically, how the Bible describes our walk with Christ and what impact it can have on our families.

Back in the building, SURFACE NOISE is bringing the A-Side front AND center! For this trip around the turntable we will be focusing on bad experiences with shady vinyl record sellers - online, in store, at record shows - anywhere and everywhere. What practices have we experienced that are out of bounds, shady, and downright off-putting? Have you run into these cretins? Scammers? Rip off artists? We have (ugh)
The Bois welcome David Weisse Carl from the New Mexico United to talk Black and Yellow Bash. They recap SNL 50 and try to explain to the FOTS that baseball is the best one when there isn't another one. We're back to our full show podcast format!
