Podcasts about vinyl community

Roll over Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky that SURFACE NOISE has a FREESTYLE to share with the masses! For this separate stanza, our crew of dedicated sound merchants is still joined by Adam Tiro from The Freight to discuss "Vinyl Myths" - notions (preconceived or other) we have held about record collecting and the hobby in general that have yet to bear the fruit we expected.

Hold the ☎️ - there is more vinyl talk to be found post SURFACE NOISE proper, courtesy of the FREESTYLE. Listen to our panelists discuss collecting advice (buying or selling) in 2025, the rumor of Acoustic Sounds finally updating their website, Rick Beato is still alive and has been told that Jose is his biggest fan, and what (if any) effect possible tariffs could have on importing new vinyl from overseas amidst the administration change in the United States.  Too much to shake a stick at, plug in for this latest FREESTYLE only on VINYL COMMUNITY PODCASTS!

Join our tried and true group of vinyl scavengers for another episode of SURFACE NOISE from the A-Side! Topics on our minds:

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.

Nadja [00:23] "Sievert Pt. 1" Sv Broken Spine Productions BSP015 2023 (original release 2016) Doomy ambient goodness from Aidan and Leah once again. Eurythmics [22:32] "Love Is a Stranger" Sweet Dreams Are Made of This RCA AFL1-4681 1983 Side one, track one from their sophomore album, with a classic video (https://youtu.be/o6f593X6rv8?si=JdUQVqkJ6oVbYuni) to go along for the ride. Plus, high harmonies by Kiki Dee (https://youtu.be/z0qW9P-uYfM?si=y9ywrtnrvrpZvDqI)! Mose Allison [26:15] "Stop This World" Swingin' Machine Atlantic SD 1398 1963 Amen, Mose. Throwing in some horns is not quite the same as the classic trio from the preceding album I Don't Worry About a Thing, but it's still pretty great. Wendy Carlos [29.38] "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major - Third Movement" Switched-On Bach Columbia Masterworks MS 7194 1968 Carlos collaborated with Bob Moog on his nascent synthesizer technology to create this album. Because the Moogs were monophonic, it took 1,000 hours over five months to record. In case you are wondering what a traditional version of this movement sounds like, here is the Netherlands Bach Society performing it (https://youtu.be/qr0f6t2UbOo?si=yiW4DA0AxFSb3sB5&t=370). The Police [34:44] "Miss Gradenko" Synchronicity A&M Records SP-3735 1983 The requisite Stewart Copeland track from final album by The Police. Ultravox [38:18] "Slow Motion" Systems of Romance Antilles AN-7069 1978 Lead track and single from Ultravox's third studio album, which became a large influence on Gary Numan (https://youtu.be/_nt5EH0UYxE?si=pm0h_4YWwXlCKJks). T. Rex [41:44] "20th Century Boy" T. Rextasy: The Best of T. Rex, 1970-1973 Warner Bros. Records 25333-1 1985 As usual, Marc Bolan lays down an undeniable groove (https://youtu.be/9SG65dlho_o?si=4Q8NPlKJc_87trVQ), produced by Tony Visconti. I almost forgot about the sax parts. Can [45:23] "Mushroom" Tago Mago United Artists Records 1971 (2007 "unofficial" repress) Tago Mago was Damo first outing with the band, following Malcolm Mooney's departure. According to guitarist Michael Karoli, the explosion at the end of the song is a slowed-down recording of an exploding firecracker. Zola Jesus [49:41] "Long Way Down" Taiga Mute 9611-1 2014 Zola Jesus' fourth studio album and only outing on Mute (before returning to Sacred Bones). Produced by musician, sound designer, and composer Dean Hurley. The Folk Implosion [54:49] "Had to Find Out" Take a Look Inside...... Communion Label COMM 32 1994 The debut album from Lou Barlow and John Davis... released 30 years ago! Stevie Wonder [56:55] "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" Talking Book Tamla T319L 1972 What?! It's a great song. And it was the single that followed up "Supersition". That's a heckuva gear shift. Number one on the Hot 100, of course. Silver Jews [59:53] "Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed" Tanglewood Numbers Drag City DC297 2005 A rehabilitated Dave Berman comes back with this album, the fifth studio album. He is joined once again by Bob Nastanovich and Stephen Malkmus, as well as his then-wife Cassie Berman. Cover photo by William Eggleston. Music behind the DJ: "Jackie (https://youtu.be/HqAbaqVBCyo?si=qu8P0gk6OeWL5SeB&t=224)" by Billy May and his Orchestra

Welcome to this week's SURFACE NOISE – the ultimate Vinyl Community discussion where we dive deep into the latest in the world of records! Whether you're a vinyl enthusiast or just getting into the groove, this show is packed with bold opinions, trending topics, and interactive fun.

Babes in Toyland [00:31] "Dust Cake Boy" Sugar and Spice Foxcore Records F9 1992 From a UK bootleg featuring demos and studio outtakes from Babes in Toyland, and Peel Session tracks from Hole. Talk Normal [04:09] "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" Sugarland Rare Book Room Records RBR005 2009 Blistering Roxy Music cover (https://youtu.be/boo5PDjf1Es?si=j-vWw2hnjJrb98DJ) from this Brooklyn duo (https://youtu.be/BgdDDJEzhJA?si=rXvYkftPvYkA8bJ4). Suicidal Tendencies [10:17] "Won't Fall in Love Today" Suicidal Tendencies Frontier Records FLP 1011 1983 This is a 2005 reissue on red-ish transparent vinyl. Produced by Glen E. Friedman, who is better known as a photographer (http://burningflags.com/home/) famous for documenting the nascent punk and skateboard scene. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [11:13] "Ease Down the Road" Summer in the Southeast Sea Note SN11 2005 Live album recorded while touring Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Helping out Will Oldham here are his brother Paul on bass, Peter Townshend on drums, Dave Bird and Matt Sweeney on guitar. Wayne Newton [16:58] "Summer Wind" Summer Wind Capitol Records T 2389 1965 A young Mr. Entertainment taking a pass at this Johnny Mercer number adapted from a German/Danish single by Gerthe Ingmann (https://youtu.be/d_wWy79DV0E?si=tyb8AIlZ0iv0PdJ7). I will forever associate this song with Martin singing this song (https://youtu.be/d_wWy79DV0E?si=tyb8AIlZ0iv0PdJ7) at the end of The Simpsons episode Bart of Darkness (S06E01). Thou [19:33] "Grissecon" Summit Gilead Media relic 31 2018 An excellent reissue of Thou's 2010 album Summit originally released on Southern Lord, along with material from The Archer and The Owle EP released on Robotic Empire. I still think it is amazing that Thou were the first metal band to appear on NPR's Tiny Desk (https://youtu.be/IUVYgCwpv7Y?si=tOq09uk2XAP45o5x) (minus lead vocalist Bryan Funck). Be-Bop Deluxe [27:55] "Heavenly Homes" Sunburst Finish Harvest ST-11478 1976 Some excellent melodic guitar dynamics on this track from Bill Nelson and co's third studio album. Guided by Voices [32:51] "Heavy Metal Country" Sunfish Holy Breakfast Matador OLE 185-1 1996 EP from somewhere around the Alien Lanes/Under the Bushes Under the Stars era. On lovely translucent blue vinyl. Earl-Jean McCrea [36:09] "I'm Into Something Good" Super Girls Lake Shore Music OP 3507 1979 _As seen on TV (https://youtu.be/K2t9Iwl07sA?si=JmonzgyBe6Sr8MuV)! Forty original hits by forty original artists. In mono! Earl-Jean of the Cookies sends this original recording of the Goffin and King hit shortly thereafter by Herman's Hermits. _ 1000 Homo DJs [38:56] "Supernaut" Supernaut Wax Trax! Records WAX 9133 1990 Peak Industrial cover from Al Journgensen and friends. Certainly not as good as the Sabbath orignal (https://youtu.be/nUb0QaDjP78?si=QtuvXBJhZNFU4yFM) but still makes an impact, though it does go on a bit. Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [45:33] "Bed Is for Sleeping" Superwolf Drag City DC179 2005 Excellent collaboration between the two, with some excellent illustrations by Matt and Spencer Sweeney. Produced by Superwolfmen. Jefferson Airplane [49:42] "White Rabbit" Surrealistic Pillow RCA Victor LSP-3766 1967 Normally I would go with "Plastic Fantastic Lover (https://youtu.be/NUc8vkO3oxY?si=OBKbSnjAAEQsJMbK)", but as I've said before, sometimes you gotta go with the hits. Grace was evidently inspired by Miles Davis' Sketches in Spain when coming up with the music from this piece. Survive [52:11] "Sorceror" Survive RR7349 Relapse Records RR7349 2016 Some tasty synthwave from the band behind the Stranger Things sound. Shizuko and Shinichi Suzuki [56:31] "Long, Long Ago (Bayly)" Suzuki Violin School, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 Summy-Birchard Music CSM 1387 1970 I was a child violin prodigy... until I had to read music. Quintron and Miss Pussycat [57:10] "Witch in the Club" Swamp Tech Tigerbeat 6 MEOW119LP 2005 Organ magic from the one and only Quintron and the amazing Miss Pussycat. I'll have to remember this track for next Halloween. Music behind the DJ: "Quinn the Eskimo" by Arthur Greenslade and his Orchestra

Disney Chorus and Orchestra [00:20] "Little April Shower" Walter Disney's Story of Bambi Disneyland ST 3903 1960 Plip plop plip. You may recall from the last episode we heard a track from Stay Awake. On that album, "Little April Shower" is performed by Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe, and the Roches (https://youtu.be/7ObPekx0h0M?si=BWAulm8X4hnsji14). Thelonius Monk [03:35] "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" Straight No Chaser Columbia CS 2651 1967 Monk takes a fine run at this standard originally recorded by Cab Calloway. Helped out here by Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums. Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein [11:14] "The Upside Down" Stranger Things - Volume One (A Netflix Series) Lakeshore Records 2016 Ah, the first season (https://youtu.be/b9EkMc79ZSU?si=8SqvgKenleN2NEJ0) was pretty near perfect. Had to go with the iconic title track. Frank Sinatra with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra [12:21] "Call Me" Strangers in the Night Reprise Records FS 1017 1966 Oddly enough, Frank has not one but two (2!) Petula Clark covers on this album including this one. I much prefer the brassy sassy production of Petula's version (https://youtu.be/M_mkSWxN2xk?si=gya-HwLlYCWK093i). Less Art [16:22] "Diana the Huntress" Strangled Light Gilead Media RELIC88 2017 Featuring members of Kowloon Walled City and Thrice. Igor Stravinsky and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra [19:34] "Firebird Ballet Suite (1945): Introduction - Prelude and Dance of the Firebird - Variations" Stravinsky Conducts Firebird Suite/Petrushka Suite Columbia Masterworks MS 7011 1967 This is the 1945 arrangement of The Firebird Suite. Roxy Music [22:44] "Over You" Street Life - 20 Great Hits EG EGTV 1 1986 A single orignally from Roxy Music's Flesh and Blood (https://youtu.be/3TL-Bc1giO8?si=FaZvmtDfdg2K-5uF). Evidently recorded as a way to tes tout Phil Manzanera's recently constructed studio. Made it as high as number 80 on the Hot 100. Death Valley Girls [26:07] "Electric High" Street Venom Suicide Squeeze SSQ181 2021 (originally recorded and released in 2014) Closing track to Death Valley Girl's debut studio album. Psych rock excellence (https://youtu.be/AO8z3AwIIaw?si=JCyzx7zyGK17UD5K). Salem 66 [31:08] "Seven Steps Down" 1984 Great Plains [mm:ss] "When Do You Say Hello" 1983 Strum and Thrum: The American Jangle Underground 1983-1987 Captured Tracks CT-302 2020 If you love jangle, you'll love Strum and Thrum. 28 tracks of jingle jangle goodness. An exceptional compilation that includes a 80 page booklet that dives into the scene. Yo La Tengo [36:39] "My Heart's Not In It" Stuff Like That There Matador OLE-1079-1 2015 It's hard to choose just once song from this album, but the opening track does a great job getting the listener in the mood for the album. It's a lovely rendition of the Gerry Goffin/Russ Titelman single recorded by Darlene McCrea (https://youtu.be/CuetP9wAHnY?si=o9YtuELwMU3C6S0v). New Order [39:25] "Sub-Culture" Sub-Culture Factory fac 133 1985 A remix by John Robie of the band's third single from Low-life (https://youtu.be/Uetuplhan_U?si=Or8I0F30teDUWLOh). The flip side is, of course, Dub-Culture. Ahmed Ben Ali [47:53] "Subhana" Subhana Habibi Funk HABIBI022 2023 That's right... reggae by way of Libya. Evidently reggae arrived right around peak Bob Marley and the Wailers and it took off from there. Barren Harvest [52:46] "Claw and Feather" Subtle Cruelties Handmade Birds HB-071 2014 Some dark and lovely ambient folk metal from Portland featuring Jessica Way of Worm Ourobouros. Nancy Sinatra [58:33] "Sugar Town" Sugar Reprise Records RS-6239 1967 A Lee Hazlewood number (naturally) that he says is an allusion to LSD sugar cubes. Featuring Wrecking Crew members including the great Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, and Hal Blaine. Music behind the DJ: "These Boots Were Made for Walking" by Les Brown and his Orchestra

John Williams, London Symphony Orchstra [00:23] "The Desert and The Robot Auction" Star Wars 20th Century Records 2T-541 1977 Pretty much every aspect of this soundtrack is seared into my Gen X nerd mind. Silver Jews [03:15] "Advice to the Graduate" Starlite Walker Drag City DC55 1994 The debut outing from David Berman and friends, here including partners in crime Steve Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich, and even Steve West. There is also a lovely cover of this song by The Pastels (https://youtu.be/tQ1vuKAGmUo?si=y7G-DZUy094zyJUf) (recorded for a Peel session). Lena Lovich [06:30] "I Think We're Alone Now" Stateless Stiff Records SEEZ 7 1978 (1979 reissue) From the original UK Stiff Records release of Stateless, a very first-wave New Wave version of "I Think We're Alone Now", originally recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells. Also available in Japanese! (https://youtu.be/URPtOAs_eMc?si=zX0h-wST3jcLzadK) Lena Lovich [09:18] "Lucky Number" Stateless Stiff-Epic JE 36102 1979 The US version changes up the track order, and has a number of songs remixed by Roger Bichirian. David Bowie [13:47] "Golden Years" Station to Station RCA Victor AQL1-1327 1976 (1986 reissue) Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick laying down the funky guitars. The cover features a photograph of Bowie by Steve Shapiro from Nicholas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) (https://youtu.be/KarWCgIw3Wk?si=52k2oqnxkEJ2HNah). Sinéad O'Connor [17:46] "Some Day My Prince Will Come" Stay Awake (Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films) A&M Records B0029005-01 1988 (2018 reissue) The late great Sinéad O'Connor interpreting Snow White's ballad accompanied by the late great Andy Rourke from the late great Hal Willner. Willner was one of the most imaginative music producers, responsible for so many excellent tribute albums, and one of the most innovative music shows on network television: Night Music (https://youtu.be/ChPPW6NbsFk?si=AusrNnmpxTl4mWUI). Graham Parker and the Shot [18:55] "Wake Up (Next to You)" Steady Nerves Elektra 9 60388-1 1985 Graham gets all romantic in a Motown sorta way. This single made it as high as 39 on the Hot 100. Graham Parker and the Rumour [24:00] "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" Stick to Me Mercury SRM-1-3706 1977 Graham and company do a fine rendition of this song that was initally a hit for Ann Peebles (https://youtu.be/cyMsvE8UcbI?si=VqkTZdDF9ubuspVT). The Rolling Stones [29:35] "Dead Flowers" Sticky Fingers Rolling Stones Records COC 59100 1972 The first album the Stones recorded after being freed from their Decca Records obligation. This copy has one of the actual working zippers, as designed by Andy Warhol. Many listeners will also be familiar with Townes van Zandt's acoustic version that appears on his live album Roadsongs, and was subsequently used in The Big Lebowski (Coen, 1998). The Aquadolls [33:40] "Tweaker Kidz" Stoked on You Burger Records BRGR390 2014 Fun track from the debut Aquadolls album. Talking Heads [36:06] "Once in a Lifetime" Stop Making Sense Sire 1-25186 1984 There was a very cute promo (https://youtu.be/R2gVgpHIDz0?si=UfreL9mJCNr_K3iC) for the A24 re-release of the film recently. Nadja [42:03] "The Stone" The Stone Is Not Hit by the Sun, Nor Carved with a Knife Gizeh Records GZH70 2016 As usual, more heavy dreamy goodness from one of my favorite duos. Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy

Thirsty Forest Animals [00:25] "Nape" Southeast of Saturn: Michigan Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-629 2020 All of this, yes. When I lived in NYC in the 90s, so many of my friends were from Michigan that it's amazing some stayed around to develop these sounds. Fauna [05:26] "To Ecstasy" Southeast of Saturn, Vol. 2: Midwest Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-750 2022 I also knew a lot of folks from Minneapolis, where Fauna hail from. This track is from their 1992 release Everafter. Glen Campbell [09:23] "Southern Nights" Southern Nights Capitol SO-11601 1977 Glen takes an excellent turn with Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights" (https://youtu.be/mCscZ2tPFmI?si=0lfs02BFzVpS3aIf) originally recorded in 1975. Glen heard that version and was reminded of his childhood in Arkansas. This single made it to number 1 on the charts, and the album made it as high as 22 on the Billboard 200. You can see Glen playing one of his weirdo Ovation electric 12-strings here on The Midnight Special (https://youtu.be/A8VgyiMAJ9k?si=qdJzW9C6zMMHfQ70). Hawkwind [12:24] "Sonic Attack" Space Ritual United Artists Records UA-LA120-H2 1973 Epically epic space jams with interspersed spoken words as exampled here with "Sonic Attack" written by Michael Moorcock and recited by James Calvert. The sleeve art by Barney Bubbles is a thing of majesty. If space jams are your thing and you've never heard this album, seek it out. Amazingly, this album briefly dented the Billboard 200, making it to number 179. The album jacket is quite a work of art. If you'd like to see the full artwork, join me over on Patreon for video liner notes (https://patreon.com/youroldpalwill). Depeche Mode [17:24] "Dreaming of Me" Speak & Spell Sire SRK 3642 1981 What a difference a decade makes (as compared to Hawkwind)? The debut album by the boys from Basildon, and the only one recorded with Vince Clark (before he moved on to Yaz and subsequently Erasure). This album also just cracked the Billboard 200 here in the US, making it to number 192. This single did actually make it into the US Billboard dance charts, going as high as 47. The English Beat [21:01] "Sooner or Later" Special Beat Service I.R.S. Records SP 75069 1982 (1987 reissue) Everyday someone is born who has never heard "Sooner or Later". Perhaps you are one of those people who has never heard "Sooner or Later". If so, enjoy! This guitar sounds (and this video (https://youtu.be/c-7lBq0zuSM?si=18igG60AbOt239Kf)) have been permentantly etched into my musical brain thanks to the early days of MTV. John Zorn [24:36] "Hico Killer - Long Mile to Houston" Spillane Elektra Nonesuch 9-79172-1 1987 Gritty road story from master blues musician Albert Collins, tinged with Zorn & Co's trademark oddballness. Con Funk Shun [29:19] "Juicy" Spirit of Love Mercury SRM-13806 1980 The Bay Area's very own Con Funk Shun. If you've got a funk/soul album with a track called "Juicy" you know you've got to listen to it. Or at least, I do. Written by the band's guitarist and vocalist Michael Vernon Cooper. The Wonderland Singers [34:07] "Bats in the Belfry" Spooky Halloween Wonderland Records LP-293 1974 They just don't make organ music like they used to, and probably for good reason. At least the cover art is cool. Ustalost [35:20] "III" The Spoor of Vipers Gilead Media RELIC82 2017 Some blackened heaviness from this solo project by Will Skarstad of Yellow Eyes. For those of you who appreciate this style of music, seek out A Wandering Path: The Story of Gilead Media (https://youtu.be/gTZ1HcDtW-U?si=_ann3_mOUWXm2pCq) on a streaming service near you. Missing Persons [40:49] "Bad Streets" Spring Session M Capitol Records ST-12228 1982 This album made a strong impression on my when it came out and I still find myself thinking about it. For this episode's selection, I took a look at the track listings and immediately heard this song in my head. The album made it to number 42 on the Hot 100 and generated 4 singles: "Words (https://youtu.be/IasCZL072fQ?si=VO4X1DpThnxhHYup)", "Desitnation Unknown (https://youtu.be/1WDly1Oc_P4?si=5j2wgoC34DdwEtoU)", "Windows (https://youtu.be/v0vdk3YOvMM?si=31AgmgVzkx6cUeou)", and "Walking in L.A. (https://youtu.be/80WyBxo0Hto?si=DjM4k640jKUOTkhV)". Graham Parker and the Rumour [44:30] "Local Girls" Squeezing Out the Sparks Arista AB 4223 1979 Another heavy rotation video (https://youtu.be/taXvBivGcMo?si=wUPJk-7GLYH8XtUu) from the early days of MTV, despite being made in 1979. The album attempts to explore English suburbia. The album cover features some great typography by Gerard Huerta. Amazing Rhythm Aces [49:48] "Third Rate Romance" Stacked Deck ABC Records ABCD-913 1975 Some fun country-inflected rock from these Memphis gents, sounding almost perfectly mid-70s in a good way. The album reached 11 on the country charts and 120 on the Billboard 200. This single also hit 11 on the country charts and 14 on the pop chart. The band even made an appearance on the second season of Austic City Limits (https://youtu.be/pLz6nIvqB2c?si=nFcMK2tAEEfFjI8n). Love Barry "Byrd" Burton's finger pickin on this. Sly and the Family Stone [53:11] "You Can Make It if You Try" Stand! Epic BN 26456 1969 The mighty Sly Stone and family take a funky turn at this song originally recorded by Gene Allison (https://youtu.be/xiPI7d1y2Co?si=bo1XG2515eGJoYnn) and also covered by the Rolling Stones (https://youtu.be/jz4VO_NiY24?si=1OhUnqa0lAa5JEwM). Fans of Primal Scream will also recognize the tail end of the track that precedes this album closer. Jacksons [56:49] "Blame It on the Boogie" Star Fire Ronco R 3200 1980 As seen on TV! 18 original hits by 18 original artists! A compilation of hits, mostly from 1979. In honor of the late Tito Jackson, I had to go with this uptempo Jacksons single from 1978. Wet Willie [01:00:00] "Keep on Smilin'" Star Trackin' '76 Ronco R 1976-2 1976 As seen on TV! 20 original hits by 20 original artists! While 8 year old me would have been extremely excited about the "Theme from S.W.A.T.", I decided to go with Mobile AL's own Wet Willie. I could have also gone with Abba's "Waterloo" but loyal listeners already know how much I love Abba. Music behind the DJ: "Charade" by Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra

Pallbearer [00:34] "An Offering of Grief" Sorrow and Extinction 20 Buck Spin SPIN048 2012 Full-length debut from this heavy doomy band from Little Rock AR. Easily one of the best records of 2012. Ray Charles & Milt Jackson [09:06] "Soul Meeting" Soul Meeting Atlantic SD 1360 1962 Two great tastes that vibe great together. Featuring Ray on piano, Milt on vibes, Kenny Burrell on guitar, Percy Heath on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. This one was written by Jackson, with illuminating parts from both Milt Jackson and Kenny Burrell. Curtis Harding [16:08] "Freedom" Soul Power Burger Records BRGR600 2014 Debut outing from this Atlanta musician. Describing his sound as "slop 'n soul", this one track has a definite Arthur Lee feel. Lou Rawls [18:49] "A Whole Lotta Woman" Soulin' Capitol Records T 2566 1966 Not a whole lotta love, not a whole lotta Rosie, but a whole lotta woman. John Coltrane with Red Garland [21:27] "Theme for Ernie" Soultrane Prestige 7142 1958 One of Coltrane's showcases for his distinctive sheets of sound style. Joined here by Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and again Art Taylor on drums. Les and Larry Elgart and their Orchestra [26:24] "You're My Thrill" Sound Ideas Columbia CL 1123 1958 Hailing from Pompton, New Jersey, these brothers developed their "Elgart Sound" in 1952 and released over half a dozen albums before parting after this album to pursue their musical interests. Mary Martin et al [30:02] "The Lonely Goatherd" The Sound of Music (Original Broadway Cast) Columbia Masterworks KOL 5450 1959 Now that's what I call yodeling! Pre-Julie Andrews obviously. Mary Martin was perhaps best known as playing the title role in the Broadway production of Peter Pan. Not sure how I knew this, but maybe it was due to living in New York for 20 years naking Broadway trivia inescapable. The Sinceros [33:23] "Take Me to Your Leader" The Sound of Sunbathing Epic EPC 83632 1979 The sticker on the cover says that this track is their featured single, so that's what I'm going with. Power pop-y new wave-y. Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass [37:10] "Casino Royale" Sounds Like... Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass A&M LP124 1967 You know I love a good shaggy dog of a film, and Casino Royale is definitely that. Well, the Daniel Craig version is too, but I'm talking about the 1967 comedy version with David Niven as Sir James Bond. Ravi Shankar [39:47] "An Introduction to Indian Music" The Sounds of India Columbia CS 9296 1968 (originally released in 1958) Re-released to tap into the growing interest thanks to the Beatles' interest in Indian music (specifically George Harrison). Relax! Simon & Garfunkel [43:56] "We've Got a Groovey Thing Goin'" The Sounds of Silence Columbia CS 9269 1966 Helped out here by The Wrecking Crew, including Glen Campbell and Joe South on guitar, Hal Blaine on drums, and Larry Knechtel on the Ray Charles-esque electric piano. Scott Walker + Sunn O))) [47:22] "Brando (Dweller on the Bluff)" Soused 4AD CAD 3428 2014 On the surface, it's an odd pairing, but as the music that fills this album suggests, it's a perfect pairing. Sunn O)))'s Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley had originally reached out to Walker about contributing to their 2009 album Monoliths and Dimensions but were unable to coordinate. Walker subsequently contacted about contributing drones to fill in the silence between his lyrics while working on his epic 2012 release Bish Bosch. Evidently, Sunn O))) brought their full stage equipment to Walker's studio for recording. If you are unfamiliar, it's a wall of Ampeg, Marshall, and HiWatt speakers with Ampeg SVT and Sunn Model T heads. Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass [56:06] "The Girl from Ipanema" South of the Border A&M SP-108 1964 South of the border, down Rio de Janiero way. Music behind the DJ: "If I Fell" by Perry Botkin Jr and his Orchestra

Albums and All That, Starting with the letter S as in Sierra, Part 9 From Something to Shout About (Lulu) to Sophisticated Boom Boom (Dead or Alive) Oh hey, by the way... there is now a Vinyl-O-Matic Patreon (https://patreon.com/youroldpalwill) Lulu with The Luvvers [00:30] "Chocolate Ice" Something to Shout About Decca LK 4719 1965 Hey hey hey! It's Lulu! This is her debut album. Despite what you might guess from her voice, she was 17 when she recorded this album. "Chocolate Ice" is the excellent title song to the very weird Gonks Go Beat (https://youtu.be/XhozBIMplQA?si=ULHH1FdCqSWJPyJ5) (Hartford-Davis, 1964), featuring Lulu and The Luvvers, The Nashville Teens, and the Graham Bond Organisation Todd Rundgren [02:40] "Hello It's Me" Something / Anything? Bearsville 2BX 2066 1972 Rundgren's 3rd solo album, spreading his musical wings a bit more than previous releases. Todd had originally written the song as a very mellow ballad with the Nazz in 1967, and was released as a b-side (https://youtu.be/FmLnDL_pNZQ?si=enMwjWzgNe_iplus) to their psyche rocker "Open My Eyes". Usually I'd go with the power pop progenitor "Couldn't I Just Tell You (https://youtu.be/fosMLTCFKQ8?si=Dgn25DMa61xCFRbJ)", but well, I'm feeling more mid-tempo at the moment. Jimmy Buffett [07:29] "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" Son of a Son of a Sailor ABC Records AA-1046 1976 Let me be perfectly clear: I am not now, nor have I ever been a Parrot Head. However, I do love cheeseburgers. This is the lead single from Buffett's eighth solo album. The single made it to #32 on the Hot 100. There's also a much-watered-down version of "Livingston Saturday Night", which can be heard to greater effect (https://youtu.be/5uizFyDRxso?si=ZfVrun8krTdxzagG) on the Rancho Deluxe (Perry, 1975) soundtrack, see also: Season 5, Episode 76 (https://vinylomatic.com/s05e76). Harry Nilsson [10:20] "It Is He Who Will Be King/Daybreak" Son of Dracula Rapple Records ABL1-0220 1974 The only new Nilsson song on this soundtrack. The less said about the actual film. Count Downe (Nilsson) is invited to take over Count Dracula's throne by Merlin (Ringo Starr). Lots of monsters and lots of rock stars, including Keith Moon and John Bonham, Peter Frampton, Bobby Keys, Klaus Voorman, and Leon Russell. Watch at your own peril (https://youtu.be/IIik_o16sro?si=WvmR54QPJ16Qmd6s). Great packaging for the record though, includine a die-cut gatefold and an iron on transfer for the cover image with "Bite Me" written in goth script below. Julian Bahula's Jazz Africa [16:15] "Molebatsi" Son of the Soil Tsafrika Records TSA 001 1982 A great collective outing composed by this South African by way of Britain drummer/composer/bandleader. I picked this one up at Revolution Records in Amsterdam. If Google Translate isn't lying to me, this title translates to "Smoker" from Swati. And a smoker it is. The Temptations [21:46] "Shakey Ground" A Song for You Gordy G6-969S1 1975 One of several excellent P-Funk-backed tracks on this album. There's a pretty excellent Delbert McClinton version of this song as well (https://youtu.be/w7JCWoxtGLs?si=tLtnwaOT1j24Tgvy). The Exbats [25:47] "Like It Like I Do" Song Machine Goner Records GONE 192 2023 And boy do I like it! Another excellent outing from Bisbee AZ denizens Inez and Kenny and friends (https://youtu.be/l-Onx5zVfMs?si=OSeD0DJHPaOZ4NGW). They pretty much just keep getting awesomer and awesomer. Big Black [28:17] "L Dopa" Songs About Fucking Touch and Go T&G LP #24 1987 Scorching. And sadly, fare thee well, Steve. To anyone interested in recording, Steve and Electric Audio provided (and still provide) a wealth of information, as for instance: Everything you've ever wanted to know about tape alignment but were afraid to ask (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXA7imybaTsFWOFpaeP8wgXNDlZ4Xc8yq&si=ZMsU_ifbEBbmp6Kh). THE FOLLOWING TRACK IS INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED

Buddies, Record Collectors, lend me your ears! For this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts we resume my series "Mind of The Record Collector" which asks what we collect, why we collect it, and how we find it. Our guest today aims to touch all three tenets, and that is Josh Norrid - CEO/Owner of Hi-Fidelity Records in Tulsa, OK. Josh has a story familiar to many in the Vinyl Community: how a passion for this format and the music that comes from it lead him to work at record stores, for record companies, and eventually to open and operate his own business selling the best of the best Audiophile and high-end records available in the market today. Josh cut his teeth as a buyer at Josey Records, then learned directly from the pulpit (literally) of Chad Kassem's Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions operations in Salina, KS, before finally taking the leap in founding his own online business. Josh shares his personal journey as a collector along that road and shares his thoughts on the hobby today, how he sources his inventory, and even shares how he's added 21st century social marketing techniques to put the best pieces in the hands of the best collectors anywhere. Josh has a burgeoning presence on social media, including his own YouTube channel sharing information, tips, and details he's honed in his 20 years plus in the business. We know you'll enjoy this latest "Mind of The Record Collector" as much as we did!    For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com   For more on Josh Norrid & Hi-Fidelity Records: Website: https://www.hi-fidelityrecords.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hi-fidelityrecords IG: https://www.instagram.com/hifidelityvinyl   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

Aloha Buddies! Back at the control deck here on Vinyl Community Podcasts to talk about a topic on my mind lately: why is there gatekeeping in this Vinyl Community of ours? For this convo I'm joined by Friend of the Show (FOS) Matt from the YouTube channel Vinyl Reckoning as we explore the whats and whys as to how record collecting is a hobby often prone to tactics, commentaries, and attitudes that can not be as inviting or inclusive as we'd hope it can be. Is this a generational thing? Does every hobby seem to have so-called "gatekeeping" to new entries young and old? Or is it just a bi-product of our internet culture run amok? We also extend the conversation to whether or not this attitude by the few affects the many in the form of gaslighting people who are simply wanting to share their vinyl journey with others online; be it on YouTube, forum boards, or social media platforms. Personally I've seen it push people out of the community (a real shame), and been on the receiving end of it from a small handful of people myself. A piece too hot for the local news, sit back and give your ears a taste of the latest 'sode here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more information on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com   For more on guest Matt (Vinyl Reckoning): https://www.youtube.com/@vinylreckoning https://vinyl-reckoning.creator-spring.com   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

Aidan Baker with Richard Baker [00:25] "Western Salvia" Smudging Backwards BW06 2012 Remeber kids, friends don't let friends smudge with white sage. Dwarf Chorus [04:19] "Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum (The Washing Song)" Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Disneyland 1201 1968 Don't forget behind the ears

Join us for the latest Audio Excursion courtesy of David Bianco and his channel Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion. David recently traveled to Colorado to get some details behind the first vinyl pressing plant to open in Colorado - Paramount Pressing - and learn more about what's next for this brand new facility. Much of the Vinyl Community has been interested to hear about this project; namely after the recent news with the folks at Vinyl Me Please and their involvement in this project. David sits down with Jilliann Parker - Head of Operations - for the new plant and Gary Salstrom who has been literally on the ground floor of standing the new facility up. Get ready to learn about this terrific new pressing plant, only on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more about host David Bianco (Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion): https://www.youtube.com/@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion   Video companion to this series of interviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZGMlWDo510   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com  

6 Fat Dutchmen [00:22] "Minniehaha" 6 Fat Dutchmen RCA Victor LPM-1769 1958 Ooooom-pah! New Ulm's very own 6 Fat Dutchmen blazing up that Midwestern polka scene. Why heck, they played the Nebraska State Fair for 26 straight years, don't ya know. This album has some top-notch cover art by none other than the great Jack Davis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Davis_(cartoonist)). Jo Stafford with Paul Weston and his Music from Hollywood, the Norman Luboff Choir, and the Starlighters [02:42] "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" Ski Trails Columbia CL 910 1956 Jo and co. take a fine pass at this Irving Berlin standard. --- [05:05] Nadja [05:46] "Jaguar" Sky Burial Latitudes GMT 0:22 V 2010 A translucent blue excursion into sonic etherealness. --- [24:42] Slapp Happy [25:04] "The Drum" Slapp Happy Virgin V 2014 1974 This album was originally recorded with Faust as a backing band (https://youtu.be/j2m4_KTg-VA?si=qaDjWw1MxOaPkjFl), but was rejected by their German label. After moving to London, the material was recorded with studio musicians. And of course, I came to this song by way of the excellent interpretation by Bongwater (https://youtu.be/7M8uzljiQcc?si=K1yXFGHRhSG7xkB8). Ambitious Lovers [28:25] "Admit It" Slaves of New York Virgin Movie Music 7 91229-1 1989 From a film that was very much of its time based on a collection of short stories by Tama Janowitz (https://youtu.be/YG-EEdHb6Vk?si=yCNAzeWjeu6_9eem), oddly enough a Merchant and Ivory production. of the same title. At least it introduced me to Arto Lindsay (https://youtu.be/yAVr-fP9Dbk?si=rDW4N2c9JRPLYwKt). Nomeansno [32:10] "Junk" Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed Alternative Tentacles VIRUS 63 1988 The third studio album from these Vancouverian musicians. Space junk perhaps? Jimi Hendrix [35:47] "Can You See Me" Smash Hits Reprise Records MS 2025 1969 Stereo Jimi vox on one of my favorite Experience tunes. ---- [38:21] King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band [39:24] "Dippermouth Blues" (1923) Lionel Hampton [41:43] "When Lights Are Low" (1939) Miles Davis Nonet [43:58] "Boplicity" (1949) Thelonious Monk Quintet [46:58] "Criss Cross" (1951) The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz Smithsonian Collection P6 11891 1973 blah --- [49:56] Music behind the DJ: "Swinging Safari" by Bert Kaempfert

Heino [00:23] "Heute Singen Wir Mit Heino/Wißt Ihr Was? Heute Hat's Geschneit" Sing Mit Heino Folge 9 und 10 Winterzeit - Kinderzeit - Weihnachtzeit Hör Zu 1 C 066-45 322 1979 Sing along with Heino! And evidently, the old Deustschekrooner is still alive. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the German phenomenon that is Heino, of course, there's a documentary (https://youtu.be/M-39Unh0X2E?si=WlId8Vtympf3n2ob). The Four Roses Society [03:03] "Hand Me Down My Walkin' Cane/Deep in the Heart of Texas" Sing with the Four Roses Society Four Roses K8OP-6582 / 3 Well all right then. During my brief career as a liquor store clerk (one summer during college), Four Roses bourbon was not the esteemed brand it is today. It was easily found on the bottom shelf of the whiskey section. Kitty Wells [05:49] "Country Girl" Singing'em Country Decca DL 75221 1970 One of the contenders to the title of Queen of Country Music reminiscing at the ripe old age of 51. Elvis Presley [08:24] "Santa Bring My Baby Back (to Me)" Sings Christmas Songs - Elvis' Christmas Album RCA Victor LPM-1951 1957 (1964 reissue) An extremely well-worn seasonal classic. I'm surprised it sounds as good as it does, considering the state of the record surface. Odetta [12:45] "Don't Think Twice, It's Allright" Odetta Sings Dylan RCA Victor LSP-3324 An excellent rendition of this transitional Dylan single. To my mind, it is almost as good as the jangling toe-tapper version by Waylon Jennings (https://youtu.be/2GTl6-BJhvc?si=Ofi9FdbmGvJyqCKr). Bob McGrath with the Jimmy Joyce Singers [18:30] "Black and White" Sings for All the Boys and Girls Disneyland 1357 1974 Indeed, that Bob from Sesame Street. Helped out here by some of the Wrecking Crew including Tommy Tedesco and Earl Palmer. Inspired by the Three Dog Night version of this song (https://youtu.be/PEy6968xO-I?si=hNq9IL8tnQ9RCPDd), the song was originally recorded by Pete Seger in 1956 and with lyrics by David I. Arkin, father of Alan Arkin no less. Nat King Cole [22:21] "Autumn Leaves" Sings for Two in Love Capitol Records DT 420 1963 (original release 1953) This monophonic classic album is reinvigorated in beautiful Duophonic sound! Bonnie Prince Billy [25:03] "Ohio River Boat Song" Sings Greatest Palace Music Drag City DC252 / Palace Records PR31 A collection of Nashville-ified reimaginings Will Oldham's earlier work, with a number of Nashville greats, including Hargus "Pig" Robbins. The thing I love about seeing Will Oldham perform live in whatever configuration is that he seemingly never plays a song the same way twice. This pass at the debut single from Palace Music (https://youtu.be/jYVTkUTHENg?si=Iz69YWTah4Kmc4uO) exemplifies that spirit. Wayne Newton [30:00] "More (Theme from 'Mondo Cane')" Sings Hit Songs Capitol Records T 2130 1964 Despite rumblings in Memphis and New Orleans and even Liverpool by this point, the big band sound of the Greatest Generation continues to thrive in popular music. John McCormack [32:37] "The Foggy Dew" Sings Irish Songs Pickwick CAS-407 1975 Evidently, stereo, in this case, means slapping some reverb on the left channel. Despite being partially the result of Irish immigration, I am not sentimental, which is why I chose the shortest track for this collection. Lotte Lehman [34:41] "Ich Liebe Dich (Beethoven)" Sings Lieder, Vol. 1 Camden CAL-378 Pretty sure I grabbed this from the dollar bin because in my haste I thought it was Lotte Lenya. Colin Meloy [37:21] "Bandit Queen" Sings Live! Jealous Butcher Records JB-065 2008 From a solo tour Colin Meloy made in 2006, recorded at various venues, including this one that I happened to attend at the Great American Music Hall. This live album does do one of those things that drives me nuts, which is to put the stage banter for the upcoming song before the track break. Tom Jones [43:05] "In Dreams" Sings She's a Lady Parrot XPAS 71046 1971 Candy colored clown! (https://youtu.be/R7zukRlfzh8?si=110VDkQtE8m4jD52) Nat "King" Cole [46:30] "Blue Gardenia" Ballads of the Day Capitol Records DT 680 1960 (original release 1956) As performed in Fritz Lang's classic noir The Blue Gardenia (https://youtu.be/3bxSn2UMBMY?si=vKu34lBUOQstY3f4). Harry Belafonte [49:29] "A Fool For You" Sings the Blues RCA Victor LSP-1972 1958 A collection of blues standards, including this Ray Charles number. Ella Fitzgerald [53:09] "'S Wonderful" Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book (Volume Two) Verve Records MG V-4025 1959 Helped out here by Nelson Riddle. An excellent cover painting by Bernard Buffet is featured on this album. Music behind the DJ: "Games People Play (https://youtu.be/hIBlCac8_wk?si=KjX6MUoC_zQ0qftn)" by Arthur Greenslade and his Orchesta

While the Vinyl Community is all abuzz about the thrill, adventures, and treasures of the recent Record Store Day 2024 event, your host Rob from Northern Revolutions is joined by Joe from Racer Records to talk about used vinyl.  Rob and Joe chat about the "other side", the "less pretty" side of the record hobby and that being used vinyl.  The resurgence of the last 15 years has seen a massive deluge of new vinyl but the side benefit is that used vinyl is coming out of the woodwork.  Everyone has rare and expensive records (or so they think).  There are collections aplenty making their way into the used market.  Ebay and Discogs has made it so that there are no rare records anymore, only expensive ones.  Rob and Joe tackle these topics and more here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more on your host Rob (Northern Revolutions): https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernRevolutions   For more on guest "Racer Joe": https://www.youtube.com/@RacerRecords   For more on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com  

Can you feel it? A seismic shift under our feet, Buddies! For the latest edition of Mind of The Record Collector, I'm joined by the Vinyl Geek himself - Eric Callero - from the popular YouTube channel Vinyl Rewind. Eric is no stranger to YouTube nor our obsession collecting our favorite music on vinyl (and other formats). Vinyl Rewind is a channel that touches on many fun and interesting points of not just our vinyl collection obsession, but deep dives into bands and albums we all love, interviews with artists and creators alike, and does it all with a great presentation style that keeps us coming back for more! Recently crossing the 253k subscriber plateau, and closing in on 500 videos to boot, Eric's channel influences many in the Vinyl Community across our various collecting journeys, and often shares information new to fans old and young alike. In this 'sode we cover what started Eric's journey on YouTube + making videos, trace his fondness for music on the physical format back many moons ago, and why all these years later how finding great music on vinyl is STILL tough to beat. It's a chat you don't want to miss, and can only find here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!    For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com   For more information on Eric Callero (Vinyl Rewind): https://www.youtube.com/@VinylRewind https://vinylrewind.tv   For more information on Vinyl Community Podasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com     . . . .

The boys touched on topic not yet discussed on these particular airwaves: The Beatles.

The Shirts [mm:ss] "Teenage Crutch" The Shirts Capitol Records SW-11791 1978 (US pressing) (see below) The Shirts [mm:ss] "Reduced to a Whisper" The Shirts Harvest 5C 062-06 717 1978 (Netherlands pressing) That's right, not one but 2 (two!) tracks from The Shirts' debut album. Normally, I am not one to buy 2 copies of the same album, but when I was in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, I came across the Netherlands pressing with a more stylized cover and couldn't resist. They were one of the original CBGB bands that saw more success in Europe. You can also spot lead singer Annie Golden in the film adaptation of Hair (Forman, 1979) (https://youtu.be/VN5zup3b7fw?si=859TcqBo5ArA0iD2). Philharmonic Symphony of New York, Dimitri Mitropoulos [mm:ss] "Second Movement: Allegretto" Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 Op. 47 Columbia Masterworks ML 4739 1962 Composed by the Soviet Russian Shostakovich in 1937, this recording dates to 1953. Robyn Hitchcock [mm:ss] "Socrates in Thin Air" Shufflemania! Tiny Ghost Records TINY GHOST 07 2022 Great outing from Mr. Hitchcock from a couple of years ago. Joined here by Soft Boy cohort Kimberley Rew on guitar. Los Campesinos! [mm:ss] "5 Flucloxacillin" Sick Scenes Wichita WEBB500LP 2017 The wonderful 6th album from these Cardiff folks. Self-financed, no less! There is a supercute video for this song done in the style of the BBC show Flog It! (https://youtu.be/aoqs0PJ12zM?si=rIefWNr2Mwj3F3-d) Thompson Twins [mm:ss] "We Are Detective" Side Kicks Arista AL 6607 1983 So much floppy hair. The trio's third single from their third album. A suitably 80s video was also made for this track. (https://youtu.be/l2SMSoblH3Y?si=jw9yBHEFqSlCRxvH) Raspberries [mm:ss] "Tonight" Side 3 Capitol Records SMAS-11220 1973 Speaking of third albums. This song was the first of three singles from the album and reached number 69 on the Hot 100. Rush [mm:ss] "New World Man" Signals Mercury SRM-1-4063 1982 Rush's only Top 40 single, oddly enough. From the last album produced by Terry Brown. Sure, I could have chosen "Subdivisions" but if you were like me and were a suburban early-teenage male when this album came out, it was pretty inescapable and hence not really necessary to revisit. Boz Scaggs [mm:ss] "Lido Shuffle" Silk Degrees Columbia PC 33920 1976 Speaking of ubiquitous songs from my youth. With Mr. Scaggs himself on the Moog riffs. Sqürl [mm:ss] "John Ashbery Takes a Walk" Silver Haze Sacred Bones Records SBR-316 2023 Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan, assisted here by Charlotte Gainsbourg in an homage to the poet John Ashbery. There's a nice moody video to accompany this song as well (https://youtu.be/EdlCG4aw7Q4?si=nQisL8r1JTM_vHrk). Klaus Nomi [mm:ss] "Falling in Love Again" Simple Man RCA Victor PL 37702 1982 A contemporary update of the Marlene Dietrich classic (https://youtu.be/8gAo2aR_tUw?si=jpfY2F2guahlnPea) from the iconic Klaus Nomi's second album. Kris Kristofferson [mm:ss] "The Pilgrim - Chapter 33" The Silver Tongued Devil and I Monument Z 30679 1971 If I were Donnie Fritts (which I can only aspire to), I would have definitely had my name legally changed to Funky Donnie Fritts. Nine Inch Nails [mm:ss] "Sin (Short)" Sin TVT Records TVT2617-1 1990 Why it seems like 33 1/3 years ago that this album was released. Frank Sinatra [mm:ss] "When Somebody Loves You" Sinatra '65 Reprise RS-6167 1965 That is some bizarre stereo separation. Frank Sinatra [mm:ss] "Witchcraft" Sinatra's Sinatra Reprise Records R9-1010 1963 Some of Frank's big hits, recompiled here for his own label. Dwight Twilley Band [mm:ss] "I'm on Fire" Sincerely Shelter Records SRL-52001 1976 Some primo power pop kicking off Dwight Twilley Band's debut outing on the already-doomed at the time Shelter Records. Music behind the DJ: "Diamonds Are Forever (Instrumental)" by John Barry

Back with the least rewatchable livestream in the Vinyl Community, we bring you once again SURFACE NOISE for your earholes. Our dais was comprised of host Concert Buddie, Jason Roxas, Jose Moreno Rahn, and Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency) to talk about some hot topics and current events in the volatile world of vinyl record collecting.

Aloha Buddies! One constant in the ever changing record collecting hobby of ours is the pre-imminent tool we use to grow and develop our collections: Discogs. Unquestionably the largest vinyl record database out there, it has made it easier and more accessible to collect our favorite pieces of music, predominantly on vinyl. Likewise, the marketplace aspect of the platform has helped to bridge the divide from the rare and limited releases to collectors across the globe. In the past few weeks, the head leadership at Discogs has popped up on a couple Vinyl Community channels to discuss their business, and the timing of these chats without any high level launch/product change/etc. is curious (to me). Another channel in the community (Tom c/o High Rant District) also noticed this and recently shared some takes that pushed my curiosity into overdrive. This 'sode talks about those confluences, my own thoughts on Discogs in it's current state, and things that I strongly feel need to be addressed to continue to give buyers and sellers alike confidence in using the platform (even in the face of next to no competition in this space; a space they have essentially created themselves). Would love to hear your thoughts on this, and Discogs in general, so don't be shy and reach out to my social media channels and share away!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie IG: https://www.instagram.com/concertbuddie   Videos mentioned in this episode: Tom (High Rant District): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KukaN3FwalU&t=12s   Steve Westman interview with Discogs Leadership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg7tA0biIfM   G.I.

Vinyl Community! I am The Record Spinner and I am so excited to unveil the twelfth episode of a series I will be hosting exclusively here on Vinyl Community Podcasts called "Current Rotations." This series will be all about the records I have recently been spinning on my turntable. On this episode, I will be discussing Bootlegs, Hozier, Ace Frehley, Alice Cooper & More!   For more information on The Record Spinner: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRecordSpinner https://www.instagram.com/the_record_spinner https://www.facebook.com/TheRecordSpinner   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/    

The Beatles [00:29] "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Apple Records SMAS-2563 1967 (1971 Los Angeles gatefold pressing) Enjoy the stereo separation! Billy Preston [03:58] "Get Back" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band RSO RS-2-4100 1978 So yeah. A soundtrack to a movie that is very much of it's time. Not only tdo we have The Bee Gees and Peter Framption as the titular band, we have Earth Wind & Fire doing "Got to Get You into My Life", George Burns doing "Fixing a Hole", Alice Cooper doing "Because", Aerosmith handling "Come Together", and my second favorite track: Steve Martin doing a wild and crazy version of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" (https://youtu.be/F__uGshlbOo?si=qn4U4_ZIGttfns5E). This version of Get Back by the one and only Billy Preston still seals the deal for me. If you are inclined to check out this film, I can only say that it is very much of its time (https://youtu.be/oioCI1p6Y30?si=34PQo_XspuXmnRPc). Lord only knows how much white powder was used in the production. Love and Rockets [07:01] "Haunted when the Minutes Drag" Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven Beggars Banquet BEGA66 1985 The debut outing from 3/4 of Bauhaus. Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins do an excellent job of building an atmospheric experience to transition away from the darkness of their previous efforts. The Moody Blues [16:29] "You and Me" Seventh Soujourn Threshold THS 7 1972 Maybe it's me, but it seems like the intro could have been 8 bars or so shorter. True story: the first pair of concert tickets that I ever won from listening to the radio was for The Moody Blues on their Long Distance Voyager tour. For some reason my parents didn't think it would be appropriate for a 13 year old to go, so I got to keep the record (long since lost) and gave my tickets to the high school kids across the street. The Cars [20:46] "Since You're Gone" Shake It Up Elektra 5E-567 1981 Classic side one, track one. Dig the Frippian guitar solo. Ornette Coleman [24:18] "Focus on Sanity" The Shape of Jazz to Come Atlantic SD 1317 1959 (2010 Rhino reissue) You and me both, Ornette. The classic quartet rounded out by legends Charlie Haden on bass, Don Cherry on cornet, and Billy Higgins on drums. Hypnodrone Ensemble [32:36] "Eucldian/Dodecahedral" The Shape of Space Calostro Records CR01 2015 Hypnotic? Check. Drone? Check? Motorik? Check? Spaceous? Check? Nailed it. Shaun Cassidy [45:33] "That's Rock 'n' Roll" Shaun Cassidy Warner Bros Records/Curb Records BS 3067 1977 Originally a minor hit for Eric Carmen in Europe, teen idol and Hardy Boy Shaun Cassidy took this dopey number to the top of the US charts. Beastie Boys [48:19] "Slow and Low" She's on It Def Jam/Columbia 44-05292 1985 Flip side to the not-quite ready for primetime "She's on It". Fun fact: I lived in the New York Metropolitan area for twenty years and never understood the appeal of White Castle. Chelsea Wolfe [52:02] "Unseen World" She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She Loma Vista LVR03941 2024 It's not often that I get to play a new release on Vinyl-O-Matic, but Chelsea Wolfe's excellent new album arrived at a synchronous moment. Music behind the DJ: "Professor Fate" by Henry Mancini

Great people just walked through the door! Hey Buddies, back again with another 'sode of my series on Vinyl Community Podcasts titled "Mind of The Record Collector". This spin around the turntable I'm joined by one of the best Vinyl Community members on YouTube, Melinda Murphy. One of the reasons I started my own YouTube channel was from watching Melinda stand hers up, how she treats her audience, and the great job she does sharing the journey of building her record collection. We touch on all of that, plus what made her start her channel in the first place. To close out the chat Melinda sits in the (kind of) hot seat for a set of fun lightning round questions. What are you waiting for?

Yo! The Record Store Day 2024 list is out! Hear our takes (good, bad, and in between) and what does RSD do right, and not so right. Is getting up early and waiting in line with other feverish collectors worth the squeeze for this year's offerings? Joined per usual by Jason Roxas, Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency), Jose Moreno Rahn, and back for another success spin is Jason Elwood (Spinz Vinyl). After the RSD talk dies down, we tackle another topic: how much "influence" can channels in the Vinyl Community have when it comes to paid promotion versus direct reviews, and does any of this "influence" fuel the FOMO that has infected the hobby the past few years. All in all, a productive show (the freestyle after, on the other hand...whoa nelly).

We're bringing it back, leaning back into the series here on Vinyl Community Podcasts that asks what we collect, why we collect it, and how we find it - Mind of the Record Collector. For this installment, we are joined by a great guy in the community - J.C. - from the channel "The Flipside - Vinyl Community with J.C. - to learn how he has collecting sweet black gold over the years. A collector since 1984, J.C. has already rebuilt his collection again, and hits the pavement hard (and often) looking for those elusive records on his list. These stops can include multiple daily trips to Savers, just as much as visiting his favorite local shop - Purchase Street Records - where he often volunteers his time just to hang and help. J.C. is a big proponent of the community, and keeping it positive, and we spend some time not only learning about that, but also where this love of vinyl + music began some time ago. It's a great chat with a great contributor to the Vinyl Community.

Buddies - to celebrate a milestone here at the pod, we are extremely lucky to be joined by guest numero uno here on VCP: Matt Sands, co-owner of Gold Pan Records in Hillsboro, IL. But Matt brought two of his best pals to this episode to discuss one of the best things about this Vinyl Community of ours: fellowship. Joined us on this voyage are Sam "The Psych Professor", regular companion on Matt's YouTube channel, and their friend and shop owner of Noble Records in Matthews, North Carolina, Dillon Smith (aka The Silver Button Sniper), fresh off joining the ranks of the 100k Sub Club. We discuss how these guys started their respective journeys, and how YouTube and the Vinyl Community at large helped them meet, become fast friends, and make them all better collectors (and store owners) for it. This was one of our favorite episodes, and a great way to kick off year Two of Vinyl Community Podcasts!   On the serious tip, thank you for your support, encouragement, and patronage as this project has taken off and evolved. Each and every comment, like, download, and rating (yes, please rate us) helps fuel us to continue this project.

The aftershow to the latest SURFACE NOISE episode features some talk of industry data in 2023 for performance in streaming and vinyl sales, possibly answering why the labels continue to focus much of their energy on reissues (hint: because they are proven + bankable sales), and we share some records that have found their ways of late into our collections. Plus, Jose finally resurfaces in the Vinyl Community and we hear where he's been and what he's been up to, and why he stayed in the car to talk to us instead of feasting on burgers with his buddies.

Joined by regulars Jason Roxas, Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency), David Bianco (Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion) and one of the OG's of the Vinyl Community, Brandon (MrHoffame), we tackled the following first world questions in record collecting: (1) Has FOMO eased in the record collecting community lately? (2) Right Direction/Wrong Direction: we discuss parts of the hobby going in the right direction, and others not doing the same headed in the wrong direction (3) We each discuss a grail record we acquired in 2023, and what big grail we are hunting for in 2024.

Happy New Year Buddies! We couldn't think of a better way to start 2024 than to speak to the man who recently completed a Vinyl Community first: a 24 hour live stream. Joined by George Borden, we hear all about the motivation, inspiration, and deprivation involved in livestreaming while talking about records + music for 24 hours straight. We also hear what got George started collecting records in the first place, how he started mastering, producing, and recording music, and what we DIDN'T get to see during that marathon streaming session.

When we began this journey Buddies, I was but a newb in most things Kiss, and hadn't even seen the band perform live. As we conclude this first "Roundtable" series, that has all changed. After the band wrapped it's "final" End of the Road tour, I had to reconvene some of the biggest and most knowledgeable Kiss fans I know in this Vinyl Community to discuss what I saw, learned, and their own lasting impressions of the biggest band in the world. Joined on this farewell we have Dylan (The Record Spinner), Mark Anthony K (Projekt Gemineye + KissFAQ Podcast), and Felipe (Jazz Bums).

Have you ever thought about opening a record store? Our guest on this latest 'sode of Vinyl Community Podcasts thought about it - and did it! Joined by Billy Hurst, owner of RiverBend Records in Godfrey, Illinois, we pick his brain on just how he turned the dream most record collectors have into a bona fide reality. Before we get there, we learn about Billy's experience as part of the "Vinyl Community" on YouTube, his background in record collecting, and then what led him to the fateful decision to start a record store in the middle of a pandemic (really). RiverBend Records has been opened for just over three years, and there have been many learnings and challenges that Billy will share with us. Since opening, his shop has endeared itself not just to the local community (and St. Louis metro area), but has gained a following selling records through the Facebook platform on Monday nights. We'll learn more about that (including the last sale of 2023 the day this airs - Monday, December 18th, 6pm Central), and what future state + goals the shop has for the future. Been looking forward to doing this sitdown for sometime, and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on RiverBend Records: https://www.youtube.com/@BillyHurst https://www.instagram.com/riverbend_records https://www.facebook.com/RiverBendRecordsOfficial   Be sure to check out the final RiverBend Records online live sale on Monday, December 18th starting at 6pm Central at their Facebook page (link above). 10% of tomorrow night's sale will benefit their local 5A's Animal Shelter.   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com

Rip you very much, Buddies! For this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts, I'm joined by a great resource in the VC, and that is Patrick aka pbthal. More recently known as The Vinyl Archivist, Patrick is a fixture in the community, running multiple livestreams each week on his channel. We jump into learning about his start on YouTube, within the Vinyl Community, and the beginnings of his record collection. Additionally, Patrick is well known in and outside the community for his process in finding, ripping, and storing the best sounding recordings on vinyl. What started at the end of the first decade in Patrick converting analog recordings to a digital database has earned him high praise and standing in the "ripper" community. We get into that, what his process and approach to ripping albums looks like, and how that impacts the titles on wax he chases to this day. Throw in some "lighting round" questions to close out this chat, and we have the makings of another winner here on Vinyl Community Podcasts! Enjoy!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on our guest Patrick (pbthal): https://www.youtube.com/@pbthal   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/

Sharpen the skates, Buddies! For this latest episode on Vinyl Community Podcasts and my series "Mind of The Record Collector", I'm joined by Steve Westman. Steve runs a terrific channel on YouTube, complete with regular content and interviews with a litany of guests in the Vinyl Community. You'll regularly find Steve and his guests discussing the topics of the day in the record collecting hobby, as well as sharing information and tactics for procuring the latest new releases. Before YouTube, Steve went about sharing his passion for music and record collecting during the pandemic on several Facebook groups specific to Audiophile record collecting - buying, selling, and trading - where he remains an admin on several to this day. We also hit on Steve's early interest in collecting records, whether there's any "competition" amongst other Audiophile-branded channels in the community, and close with some patented lightning round questions led off by who Steve's "grail" guest would be. We highly encourage you to check out Steve's channel (details below), but in the meantime hear it from the man himself here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on Steve Westman: https://www.youtube.com/@stevewestman7774   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/

Seat belts are recommended for this one, Buddies! In a new 'sode likely to get people talking, I sat down with The Waxed (Rob) to learn more on his background on YouTube, his experiences in record collecting, and how sometimes the merger of the two has led to spirited reactions from folks all over the Vinyl Community. We also touch on his involvement with the Rachel's Ghost daily livestream, where he finds the most reward in record collecting, and a few jokes along the way (you can decide if they are good or bad). Now, settle in to this latest presentation on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on The Waxed (Rob): https://www.youtube.com/@theboomerscalper   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/  

Digging deeper on this one, Buddies. I'm joined by a fellow content creator on YouTube in the Vinyl Community, Steve (Vinyl Chef Steve). On his channel he recently dropped a video called "Keeping The UNITY in The Vinyl CommUNITY" (yes, I totally ripped off his use of capitalization for effect). Several of the thoughts and sentiments he expressed in that video were ones I've shared and thought long about, so when I heard him speak many of those shared thoughts and opinions aloud, I had to reach out and expand the conversation. We hit on many pieces within his video - why are people so critical to strangers, why people should be able to make whatever they choose on their channel without scorn or ridicule, and even share how Steve and I started out on the wrong foot over a difference of opinion only to eventually find common ground and do so with civility and kindness. It can be done, folks! Kindess is still free (I checked). Curious what other places this conversation took us? Ch-ch-ch-check it out now!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on Vinyl Chef Steve: https://www.youtube.com/@vinylchefsteve6692   Links to both videos references in this chat: Keeping Unity in the Vinyl Community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SdIpK9lPYk Top Four Reasons I Don't Buy 45RPM Audiophile Records: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZfK9AJ6CdA   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/  

You wanted the best, you got us (again) Buddies! I'm back in the pilot's seat learning about the biggest band in the world, flanked by some of the deepest fans with the best information about the band in our Vinyl Community. Once again Dylan (The Record Spinner) and Felipe (Jazz Bum Felipe) return, joined also by co-host of the KISS FAQ Podcast, Mark Anthony K (Projekt Gemineye) as we toss around the question: which era of KISS was best - the masked or unmasked eras? No blood or fire was spit in this discussion, but some serious KISS-torians educated me in the vast differences in these parts of the band's KISS-tory. Prepare to have your face (or ears) melted - you've been warned!

Ready for a good time, Buddies? After much debating, negotiating, and conversating, I'm joined by the great guys over at the podcast "Two Guys Talking About Records" - Jim Gleason and Steve Carlson - to talk about their collecting backgrounds, how they met, and (more importantly) what on earth possessed them to start a podcast (looks in mirror). Kidding aside, Jim (owner of Radio Wasteland Records in Midland, MI) and Steve Carlson ("The Mayor" of The Vinyl Community) have one of the best vinyl-related podcasts going, and it was fun to hear all about it! We even feature a cameo by one of the youngest record collectors in the history of the Vinyl Community (who might be related to one of our guests) to put a fun bow on a fun conversation. You can hear "Two Guys Talking About Records" on iHeart Radio, Spotify, YouTube and (soon) Apple Podcasts. Let's goooooooo!

Aloha Buddies! For this latest chat on Vinyl Community Podcasts, we continue my series MIND OF THE RECORD COLLECTOR with Frank Landry from Channel 33 RPM. Frank has been creating Vinyl Community videos since 2014, and has recently hit some creative milestones in 50k subs (61k as of this broadcast) and 500 videos on the channel. Frank posts two videos a week focusing on much more than vinyl: it's the music more than the format, and he brings his viewers into the conversation with regular mailbags, crowdsourced pictures and videos of their record spaces, and much more! This was a fun chat and Frank was generous with his time and his answers, so tune in and tune out for this latest presentation from Vinyl Community Podcasts!     For more information on Frank Landry | Channel 33 RPM: https://www.youtube.com/@Channel33RPM   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/

Welcome back, Buddies! Appreciate you joining us for this special presentation on Vinyl Community Podcasts. For this episode I am joined by The Youngest Members of The Vinyl Community (TYMOTVC), and we learn where they will be heading to for their third annual meetup. But first, who are The Youngest Members of The Vinyl Community? We learn more about this group of friends from members Emma (Eight Vinyl Low), Marichen (Marichen's Music), and Dylan (The Record Spinner) who share the origins of this collective, and how a shared love of music and kindred appreciation of the vinyl format not only created this bond, but have strengthened it over several years. We touch on what they feel has changed from Trip #1 (Nashville) to Trip #2 (St. Louis), and now from Trip #2 to this Trip #3. We learn which channels (outside of each other's) have helped serve as great information and entertainment hubs lending inspiration to their own YouTube channels, and also what are they each looking forward to on this year's adventure. Along the way we field some questions from the folks who joined us live, and end the broadcast wishing them a most excellent and fun adventure ahead!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on Emma/Eight Vinyl Low: https://www.youtube.com/@EightVinylLow   For more information on Marichen/Marichen's Music: https://www.youtube.com/@marichensmusic   For more information on Dylan/The Record Spinner: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRecordSpinner   For more information on Jenna/Spins and Needles: https://www.youtube.com/@spinsandneedles35   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/

Greetings Buddies! For this latest one-on-one on Vinyl Community Podcasts, I'm joined by Jim Kaplan - the founder, publisher, distributor, editor, deliverer (if that's a word) of Record Collector News. RCN has been in print since 2008 just celebrating it's 15th year in existence. Published 6x each year, RCN showcases articles, op-eds, and additional content on the hobby from a vast array of contributors, including some in the Vinyl Community from YouTube. Not only a great source of information, RCN has given many folks (myself included - full disclosure) an open invitation to write for the paper sharing distinct points-of-view into record collecting in the current era. Jim has some great stories not just on the origins of RCN, but how he started his connection and passion for music, and his own insight into record collecting today in the metro Los Angeles area. It's a conversation I was looking forward to a great deal, and hope you find it as insightful as I did. Thanks for your continued support here on the channel and Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on Record Collector News: https://recordcollectornews.com/   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/  

The Jazz Bums are back! This episode finds the Bums fielding a unique question from fellow Vinyl Community member Malea: what jazz records exist that a self-described metalhead could really sink their teeth into? Challenge accepted! The guys share their own metalhead recommendations showcasing five jazz albums each. How did they do? Want to join in this conversation?

Great to be back, Buddies! Thanks for tuning in to this latest 'sode of Vinyl Community Podcasts and the series "Mind of The Record Collector". For this latest trip around the turntable I'm joined by fellow record collector Rocco Richardson, host of the YouTube Channel "Pieces of Vinyl". Rocco has done an OUTSTANDING job of launching his channel and providing his audience with not only terrific vinyl news, tips, and music variety, but his production value is second to none - arguably the best out there. Though this conversation I learned there is a distinct reason behind that, and we explore his 15 month+ journey so far in the trenches of the YouTube algorithm and Vinyl Community at large. We learn about Rocco's own collecting journey, including where his wide palate of taste in music comes from, and we touch on a new opportunity that has presented itself here recently for Rocco to collaborate with the subscription service Vinyl Me Please. Big doings, Buddies! All this and more coming up on this latest conversation on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Memorial Day Weekend Special Presentation!!! You wanted the best? You got the....us, Buddies! In an exclusive chat only found on Vinyl Community Podcasts, I have enlisted some of the biggest and best KISS fans I know in the Vinyl Community to educate, inform, and inspire me to better understand KISS fandom. As part of the current "final tour", I recently purchased tickets to my first KISS concert in a few months, and so it felt like the right time to understand the multi-faceted parts of being a fan of one of the biggest bands of all-time. On this journey I'm joined by Dylan (The Record Spinner,) Brandon (MrHoffame), Arnado (fidelios_frequency), and Felipe (Jazz Bums) (yes, you read that right....THAT Felipe - not a typo). This is the first installment of a series of chats we'll be having over the coming months as KISS wind down their touring stage shows. Let us know what you think, and any topics you'd love us to tackle in future episodes! Now excuse me while I put my makeup on....m/ m/   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie For more information on The Record Spinner (Dylan): https://www.youtube.com/@TheRecordSpinner For more information on Brandon/MrHoffame: https://www.youtube.com/@mrhoffame For more information on Arnaldo (Fidelios_Frequency): https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency For more information on Jazz Bum Felipe: https://www.youtube.com/@JazzBums   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/  

The Vinyl Community Guncles (Robert, Richard, Craig, and Mike) have returned to the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts! This episode finds them sharing their preferred listening methods of listening to music (and why). Are some albums ones listened to once, only to sit on a shelf? Multiple listens in the same session? Dedicated listening rooms to only focus on listening to the music? What about people that buy records and don't open them purely to collect them? Or the patented collectors who buy one to listen to and another to keep sealed? The guys touch on all these distinct approaches to collecting + listening today in the hobby and more! Now sit back and have some fun courtesy of our friends the Vinyl Community Guncles!   For more information on the Vinyl Community Guncles: https://www.youtube.com/@vinylcommunityguncles4986 The Guncles are: Robert Fithen: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertFithen Mike/Hub Tunes: https://www.youtube.com/@hubtunes9607 Craig's Vinyl Plethora: https://www.youtube.com/@CraigsVinylPlethora Richard/Calvinwazoo: https://www.youtube.com/@calvinwazoo   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/

Hola, Buddies! So glad you can join us for another Vinyl Community Podcasts chat with a wonderful guest: TONE Scott. You may be familiar with some of TONE's videos as a music collector on YouTube, but his lifelong passion has been cultivated while spending virtually his entire professional career working in the music industry.

Hey there Buddies! For this 'sode drop we share a livestream talking about Vinyl "Regrets" (or "Ragrets"....if you know, you know) from our respective collecting journeys: records we should have bought, trends we should have avoided, and more! We had the great fortune to be joined for this conversation by Rob at Northern Revolutions, Steve aka Harmless Rebel, and the International Sex Symbol of the Vinyl Community, the incomparable Vinyl Richie, to discuss this particular topic and a little dose of shenanigans. We trust you will be able to relate to some of these regrets we share in our record collecting journeys, and hope you enjoy checking out this conversation!   Concert Buddie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie Rob (Northern Revolutions) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernRevolutions Steve (Harmless Rebel) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@harmlessrebel868 Vinyl Richie (on YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@vinylrichie3100   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/  

Hope we didn't keep you waiting! Welcome again to the Safe and Sound Texas Audio Excursion! On this episode, David Bianco reflects back on a life spent listening to and collecting vinyl, and on the past year - his first on YouTube as a member of the greater Vinyl Community. What a time to have started his channel! From MoFi-Gate, to unwelcomed quality control matters, to continued explosive growth in the hobby, there's never been a better time to collect the vinyl format and to engage with others doing the same; be it on YouTube, social media, or even (gasp) the Hoffman Forums (well, most places). Nearing close to 2,000 subscribers, David is both appreciative for the support, and excited to share what's in store for this next year. Our sincere thanks to you for listening to this show, and our other programming here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more information on show host David Bianco: https://www.youtube.com/@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/  

Waddup, Buddies! The Record Store Day list is here! What you are about to listen to is a lighthearted, fun conversation I had with some folks in the Vinyl Community sharing our thoughts on the recently dropped Record Store Day (RSD) list of offerings for 2023. The annual holiday for record lovers and indie stores alike is coming soon on Saturday, April 2023, and there are some tasty, tasty treats waiting at the local shops this year. In this 'sode you'll hear from our friends over at Vinyl Reckoning (Matt & Stacey), The Record Spinner (Dylan), and the self-anointed "RSD Hater" Jason Roxas. A spirited and fun discussion was had, ripe with records we are looking forward to picking up this RSD, and also a little love for Taylor Swift in the process.

Hey Buddies! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Robert Fithen, a fellow member of the Vinyl Community, first to discuss his livelong passion for music, but then we dive into our experiences with internet trolls; namely, since we started doing YouTube videos in the VC. Robert also has some firsthand research from his broadcast + radio background into what makes a troll, well, troll. Robert is one of the best in the VC, and I hope this conversation is relatable to any content creator or anyone with a social media presence. Spoiler alert: trolls are gonna troll, and it has next to nothing to do with you. This conversation will also be featured on Vinyl Community Podcasts (info below).

Markus beschwert sich bei Chris, dass der das geplante PABST Interview alleine durchgeführt hat und revanchiert sich seinerseits mit einem Interview mit dem Plattenladen Flight 13 Records in Freiburg, in dem es neben orientalischen Teppichen, Ohrensesseln und überdimensionalen Biergläsern, auch um kritische Themen aus der Vinyl-Community geht. Währenddessen eskaliert aufgrund der Vergesslichkeit der Shuttle-Crew die Situation mit dem Stargast Andi Meisfeld. Auf dich wartet eine Folge mit vielen spannenden Themen und guter Musik.

Where else but @weheardwonders will you find Queen Bey mingling with yer Auntie Flo and a former Goat Girl? Yep - praise Bey! - Beyoncé is back with the first taster from her eagerly-anticipated follow-up to Lemonade. But is it any good? We also share our thoughts on Auntie Flo & Sarathy Korwar's minimal electronica-Indian classical synthesis, Wax Machine's psychedelic paean to Springtime, Naima Bock's green-fingered progressive folk, and a “sexy, happy song” from MUNA.

Who should have the last word on labeling music?  The music industry or the music consumer?  Well, we will probably never know the answer anytime in the near future, but the dialogue can lead to all involved taking note.  Music Critic, Author, and oh yeah, Associate Professor of American studies and Media studies at the University of Virginia joins our continuing conversations about genre-bending.

This episode of Meet the Music takes you into a potential paradigm shift in the music industry.  Listen as Dr. Rashad Shabazz shares insight into the concept of genre-blending and how the artist Prince is an example.  Dr. Shabazz shares which Prince album he thinks is his "Magnum Opus."  He also talks about the genre-blurring of Tyler the Creator.

This week's episode is a fact-packed and educational podcast on the birth of Rhythm and Blues.  Once again, Dr. Dodge doesn't disappoint.  All we can say is listen and learn as we have a honest conversation about the birth of Rhythm and Blues, the pre-Rock and Roll genre, and the beginnings of Soul music.

A bit of a different show this time out. I had a conversation with Michael Muller of Balmorhea about important bands and forgotten records of our collective past. Michael has a Youtube channel called Noted & Archived in which he discusses music and records as part of the Vinyl Community. A long conversation here with full tracks by the bands discussed.

In der vierten "Nadelneuling"-Episode wirft Lars zusammen mit Timo alias rustynail82 seine Netze ins Netz aus. Wo Schallplattenliebhaber*innen im Internet überall ihrem Hobby frönen, warum soziale Medien nicht der Weisheit letzter Schluss sind und wie aus einer ungeliebten Scheibe ein hübscher Baum wird – um all das geht es in dieser verträumten Folge. Fox Mulder hatte übrigens Recht: "Die Wahrheit ist irgendwo da draußen."

For episode 114, I bring you part two of the interview with Omaha music legend, Dereck Higgins. In part one, we went through Dereck's musical childhood, his earliest bands, and his time in bands Digital Sex and RAF. Part two picks up exactly right where the first one left off. We discuss Dereck's move into ambient and electronic music, the formation of his record label (DVH Recordings), his introduction to the online Vinyl Community, his collaborations with filmmaker/musician Nik Fackler, and all of his current projects. Remember that all of Dereck's music can be purchased through his bandcamp page: dereckhiggins.bandcamp.com. This episode contains snippets of the following music: "War Statement" by Dereck Higgins, "Drebump" by Dereck Higgins (© Dereck Higgins), "Saw a Blind Dad" by In Dreama (© Team Love). The music embedded under my voice in the intro and outro of the podcast is "Passing Apparition" from Dereck's album Sonospheres (©2013 Dereck Higgins). Thanks for listening. Enjoy. ©2014 The Dark Stuff Podcast Look for The Dark Stuff online at www.thedarkstuff.com and on twitter @davesplash

For episode #113, I have part one of an interview with Omaha music legend, Dereck Higgins. Higgins has been making music and playing in bands in the Omaha area since the 1970s. Two of his bands from the 1980s - Digital Sex and RAF - are considered by many to be the foundation of the modern Omaha indie music scene. Most people know about Bright Eyes, The Faint and Cursive. But the Omaha music scene did not start there, obviously; it began decades earlier, and Higgins was right there in the middle of it. Dereck Higgins is still playing in bands and performing today. He also makes music as a solo artist and releases it through his website: http://dereckhiggins.bandcamp.com. Dereck has also achived some notoriety from his popular Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/dereckvon. His videos are among the most popular in the "Vinyl Community" - an online group of record collectors and enthusiasts who show the world their collections and offer insights into the artists. Over the years, Higgins' videos have gone beyond the normal "VC" subject matter, and often times venture into politics and social commentary. They are a lot like diary entries that he shares with the world at large. Since Dereck and I both live in Omaha, I had him come down to the bunker (aka my basement) for the interview. We spoke for over an hour; and because I wanted to include some snippets of music along with the interview, I have decided to make this into a two part episode. In part one, Dereck discusses his earliest days as a child fascinated with music, his meeting famous jazz musicians like John Coltrane (who used to stop by his childhood home both to "jam" and to "score"), and his early difficulties being a black rock musician in an overwhelmingly white music scene. Part Two will be the next episode - #114. This episode contains snippets of two Digital Sex songs - "Dervish Dance" and "When Feelings Change." Both are ©Digital Sex. The music embedded under my voice in the intro and outro of the podcast is "Passing Apparition" from Dereck's album Sonospheres (©2013 Dereck Higgins). Thanks for listening.
