Bad Bunny continues to dominate headlines with a packed schedule and groundbreaking collaborations. In the past week, the superstar made waves in fashion and sports culture by debuting the fourth colorway of his Bad Bunny x adidas Adizero SL72 sneaker, previewed at an exclusive Formula 1 event in Puerto Rico. This limited release, seen by Sneaker Freaker and displayed at the Museo de Artes de Puerto Rico, combines brown and pink with blue and gold accents, and features premium materials like mesh, suede, corduroy, and leather. More than 150 pairs of his adidas collaborations were showcased for fans, underscoring his deep influence on sneaker culture. No official release date has been set, but fans can expect it as part of the Fall 2025 adidas lineup.The F1 event itself was historic for Puerto Rico, as Bad Bunny partnered with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team and adidas Originals to bring the racing experience to his home island for the first time. According to Vinyl Me Please, the event blended high performance culture, music, and local pride, with the sneakers gifted to celebrity and VIP attendees, cementing Bad Bunny's reputation for boundary-pushing partnerships.Musically, Bad Bunny remains in the spotlight with the recent release of his single "Alambre Púa," the first new music since the launch of his seventh studio album, *Debí Tirar Más Fotos*, earlier this year. As reported by 94.9 KCMO, he debuted this track live during his current 30-show residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, an unprecedented concert series running through September with the first dates initially available only to Puerto Rican residents.He is also gearing up for another chapter in his global domination: following his residency, Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour will kick off in November with stadium dates in Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America, as outlined on his official Wikipedia. These announcements follow a headline-making year in which Bad Bunny delivered a lauded NPR Tiny Desk Concert and starred in the highly anticipated film Happy Gilmore 2.Outside music and sneakers, Bad Bunny remains vocal on social issues. Just this weekend, AOL detailed how he called out U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a video he posted on social media. Bad Bunny documented what appeared to be ICE agents detaining people in Puerto Rico, expressing anger and raising awareness on immigrant rights, consistent with his history of social advocacy.In summary, Bad Bunny's recent week has been a showcase of creative energy across sneakers, sports, music, activism, and more. He's using his platform to elevate Puerto Rican pride, set records, and ignite conversations on and off the stage.Thank you for tuning in—be sure to come back next week for the latest on Bad Bunny and more.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This week has been all about Shakira dominating headlines with both her professional achievements and her enduring influence as a global icon. The most prominent news is her announcement as a headliner for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival, set to electrify Central Park's Great Lawn on September 27. As covered by NY1, Shakira will share the stage with The Weeknd, and the event is expected to draw massive crowds while focusing on impactful activism, like expanding electricity access in Africa, educational opportunities for thousands of children, and protecting the Amazon. Hugh Jackman returns as host, and more performers are to be announced. The buzz across outlets like Vinyl Me Please and MusicTalkers underscores the festival's significance in both music and philanthropic circles, adding another star turn to Shakira's legacy of blending entertainment with advocacy.On the career milestones front, Shakira continues her reign as a record-breaker. According to The Business Standard, she recently shattered 14 Guinness World Records with her Bizarrap-produced song Music Sessions Vol. 53, including accolades for the most-viewed Latin track on YouTube in 24 hours and the fastest to reach 100 million views. If that wasn't enough, Jimmy Kimmel Live surprised her live on air with her many Guinness certificates. With 17 records to her name now, Shakira holds strong as the Queen of Latin Music.She's also midway through her globe-spanning Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which saw a recent date reschedule at Houston's Toyota Center as efficiently communicated by Ticketmaster, reflecting both her professional reliability and enormous fan anticipation for the biggest tour of 2025. Social media and fan reaction to the tour, including praise for ticketing transparency and the live show experience, further affirm her power as a crowd-puller.On the personal side, Shakira remains candid about the hardships she's faced since her high-profile split from Gerard Piqué, admitting to Live From E! that “life hasn't always been kind” but crediting recent challenges for her personal growth and resilience—a sentiment picked up widely in gossip and entertainment reports. Her acceptance speech after winning Best Latin Pop Album at the 67th Grammy Awards echoed her advocacy, dedicating her award to immigrants and hardworking women worldwide. Amid all this, Shakira's social channels brim with promotional teases for her tour and the upcoming Central Park festival while fans celebrate her world records and Grammy win. There are, at present, no credible or verified reports of major business ventures or speculative developments; all eyes remain fixed on her official appearances and public milestones. As summer unfolds, Shakira stands not just at the top of charts, but at the center of culture, activism, and conversation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In a week dominated by surprise, Justin Bieber has electrified both music and pop culture headlines with his return. On July 11, the singer dropped his long-awaited seventh studio album, Swag, under Def Jam—a move that nobody saw coming until billboards popped up in Reykjavik and Los Angeles and Bieber ignited his social media with cryptic teasers. The album immediately set the internet ablaze: fans on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) revived “Bieber Fever” and group chats exploded, celebrating what many are calling his most personal and vulnerable project yet, according to the LA Times.Swag is Bieber's first full-length studio release in over four years, and marks a significant moment in his evolution as both an artist and a person. The 21-track album dives deep into topics like fatherhood with an emotional acknowledgment of his son Jack Blues Bieber, mental health struggles, and renewed commitment to his marriage with Hailey Bieber—all wrapped in a blend of R and B, pop, and gospel influences. The closing track, Forgiveness, even features gospel star Marvin Winans, underlining the album's spiritual undertones. People magazine reports Hailey was by Justin's side throughout the creative process, with sources noting this project was made entirely on his own terms after officially severing ties with his longtime manager, Scooter Braun. Braun, for his part, publicly praised Swag as “raw” and “beautiful.”Bieber's public appearances remain under the spotlight. In April, he made headlines for a brief but memorable cameo at Coachella 2025, dancing alongside Tems and Wizkid. However, fans and festival insiders remain cautious about his future live appearances. Extra Chill's festival wire details how his erratic on-site behavior and visible cannabis use raised concerns about his readiness for a main-stage comeback—igniting but not confirming rumors that he might headline Coachella 2025. At the moment, Goldenvoice has announced no formal booking.Bieber's business activities have quietly expanded alongside his artistic ventures. Vinyl Me Please and other industry insiders note he has launched a fashion brand, SKYLRK, and continues to profit from Drew House and his water startup, Generosity. Financially, he is thriving, with his net worth estimated between $200 and $300 million, bolstered by a $200 million sale of his music catalog to Hipgnosis in 2023 and impressive real estate investments, as reported by Fourth Wall Production and Celebrity Net Worth.On social media, Bieber has directly addressed rumors about his mental health, calling much of the speculation “gossip and lies,” but he's also embraced the chance to showcase honesty in both his music and public persona. As for tour plans, recent headlines suggest fans are eager but nothing official has been announced, especially as he continues to recover from previous health setbacks related to Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, as LOS40 reports. For now, Bieber's Swag is not just an album but a reset of his narrative—one marked by growth, independence, and the undimmed curiosity of the public.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

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.

Folk music of the 1960s and 1970s was a genre that was always shifting and expanding, yet somehow never found room for so many. In the sounds of soul-folk, Black artists like Terry Callier and Linda Lewis began to reclaim their space in the genre, and use it to bring their own traditions to light- the jazz, the blues, the field hollers, the spirituals- and creating something wholly new, wholly theirs, wholly ours. Soul-Folk (Bloomsbury, 2024) traces the growing imprints of soul-folk and how it made its way from folk tradition to subgenre. Along the way, it explores the musicians, albums, and histories that made the genre what it is. Ashawnta Jackson is a writer based in Brooklyn. She writes mostly about music and culture and has written for Atlas Obscura, Artsy, Crime Reads, Bandcamp, JSTOR Daily, The Whitney Museum, and most recently Vinyl Me Please, where she wrote the liner notes for the reissue of Lee Morgan's Take Twelve. Earlier in her career, she was on the radio at KMHD Jazz Radio in Portland, OR. Ashawnta on Twitter. Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago and author of U2's The Joshua Tree: Planting Roots in Mythic America.

The recent legal strife between Vinyl Me Please and Vinyl Media Pressings as a startup vinyl record pressing plant remind us of the long delays which have become the norm for new plants. Host David Bianco discusses what might be causing these delays based on his experience in manufacturing and seeing the realities vs. the hype. The good news is: more capacity helps keep titles stocked and promise dates be met. But it's not without some ongoing challenges.

This comprehensive collection celebrates the legendary outlaw country icon, featuring meticulously curated albums, rare tracks, and insightful liner notes that paint a vivid picture of Waylon's illustrious career. Shawn explores the significance of this box set, discussing its standout tracks and the timeless appeal of Jennings' rebellious spirit and groundbreaking music.Meanwhile, Craig shines a light on the re-issue of Brad's seminal album, "Shame." Originally released in 1993, this album is a cornerstone of the Seattle alternative rock scene. Craig examines the impact of "Shame" on the genre, highlighting its raw emotion, powerful lyrics, and the exceptional collaboration of its band members, including Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard. With this re-issue, new and longtime fans can rediscover Brad's unique sound and the enduring relevance of "Shame" in today's musical landscape. Tune in for an in-depth discussion filled with nostalgia, admiration, and fresh insights into these two essential collections.

So many takes, so little time. That's why we have the FREESTYLE portion of each SURFACE NOISE production. This go-round we tackle some top-tier flute players (really), did Vinyl Me Please flub up the latest rock release for their members (sold out?), more QC messes in the hobby, and maybe even some talk of being mezmerized by Herbie Mann's luscious chest sweater. It's what your mama warned you about, the latest SURFACE NOISE + FREESTYLE!

The Vinyl Me, Please record club marked its 10th anniversary this year and now boasts more than 30,000 members. As senior director of music and editorial, Andrew Winistorfer chooses many of the Records of the Month and exclusive store drops. A passionate music fan himself, he has developed keen insights into the psyche of obsessive vinyl buyers (raising my hand) as well as the business of licensing music from labels and getting albums mastered and pressed to the club's standards. How does VMP select its “Lost Sounds Found” and less obscure albums? Where did it get the gumption to try to top Mobile Fidelity with its Miles Davis box? What factors drive album pricing? How much does FOMO drive sales? Vinyl fanatics, this one's for you.

New treat for you Buddies on this latest 'sode of Vinyl Community Podcasts. On our 100th episode of VCP, we feature a conversation taking us behind the music: specifically, I'm speaking with Cicely Balston of AIR Studios in London. Earlier this year Cicely was awarded the 2023 Music Producer's Guild "Mastering Engineer of The Year" honor - and for good reason! With over a decade in the field, she began to develop her trade back in 2013 at Gearbox Records, an all-analog shop known for cutting on a vintage Skully lathe. She moved on to AIR Studios in 2016, with a detour at Alchemy Mastering (later acquired by AIR) in between her return to Sir George Martin's enterprise in 2020. She's been involved in some terrific releases of late courtesy of Vinyl Me Please, including the exciting recent release of Chalino Sanchez' "15 Exitos 15". She's been part of working on projects from artists like David Bowie, to Young MC, Busta Rhymes, Witch Fever, Sun Ra and a litany of artists across many genres and styles. We touch on that, as well as navigating mastering from digital files and analog both for today's hungry vinyl consumers. As the "vinyl resurgence" continues to go full speed ahead, the mastering side of things is in great hands with Cicely and other mastering engineers taking the baton from their predecessors. This episode has it all: science, music, laughs, and some name dropping (mostly by me). Let's jump into this terrific conversation now on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on guest Cicely Balston c/o AIR Mastering (London): https://www.airstudios.com/cicely-balston/   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com/

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.

Welcome back to another episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts! This spin on the dance floor sees our friend Nadine c/o Souldisco return to our airwaves to share a splendid conversation with Jared "Jay B" Boyd on the recent boxset reissue effort from Vinyl Me, Please titled: "Truth Is Where It's At -- A Gospel Truth Collection". The Gospel Truth Label (aka Stax Records Gospel Label), was an imprint of the famous Stax Records label from Memphis, Tennessee. The Gospel Truth series debut in 1972 and produced over 20 albums until 1978, featuring some of the biggest names in Gospel music: The Rance Allen Group, The Staple Singers, The Soul Stirrers, The Pilgrim Jubilees, and The Mighty Clouds of Joy. These albums featured a wide range of Gospel music styles including traditional Gospel, contemporary Christian music, and Soul Gospel.  The Gospel Truth series was known for its high-quality production and arrangements, with some of the most talented musicians and producers in the industry working on the albums. Lauded for it's powerful and uplifting messages, this series featured songs + albums touching on themes of faith, hope, and love. Although Stax Gospel and The Gospel Truth series had a relatively short lifespan, they made a significant impact on the Gospel music industry and helped to popularize Gospel music outside of the church. The legacy of Stax Gospel and The Gospel Truth series lives on, with their influence felt in the music of contemporary Gospel artists and the continued popularity of Gospel music worldwide. Jay B authored the special 20-page Listening Notes booklet included in this boxset. Limited to 1,000 numbered copies, the box set includes 6LPs on 180g black vinyl, with AAA lacquers cut from the original tapes by Ryan K. Smith of Sterling Sound. We trust you'll find this conversation informative, interesting, and fun!

We had the pleasure of interviewing WILSN over Zoom video!Australian vocal powerhouse WILSN is thrilled to announce her debut album, Those Days Are Over, out February 3 on Ivy League Records/Universal MusicAustralia (Rolling Blackouts C. F., Hatchie). She also revealed a US headline tour (dates below), following her run with Allen Stone. A fusion of pop, soul, Motown and jazz both classic yet contemporary, WILSN's unbelievable voice & honeyed sound on the record are showcased on single & video debuted today on Under the Radar – “Hurts So Bad” featuring Josh Teskey, lead singer of award-winning Melbourne blues-rock band The Teskey Brothers (even Chris Hemsworth is a fan). Built from a trumpet melody by friend & acclaimed horn player Billy Aukstik (Mark Ronson, Erykah Badu, Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley), the heart-wrenching break-up song is accompanied by a video from Triana Hernandez, where the masterful performers are in full flight. “Right before Covid hit, I toured through Europe and the UK with The Teskey Brothers,” WILSN explains. “I was already a fan before this but seeing their show every night and occasionally getting up to sing with them in their set really solidified my love for the band. Josh is one of my favourite singers in the world and I feel super lucky he's singing with me on my debut record.”Studying at Melbourne, Australia's prestigious Victorian College of the Arts and playing shows there, WILSN – real name Shannon Busch - was soon noticed by international publishing juggernaut Pulse Music Group (Kehlani, Yebba) / Native Tongue (Courtney Barnett, Aldous Harding) - even going on to play the Melbourne Grand Prix. She briefly moved to Nashville to work with GRAMMY-winning writers, which helped hone her craft for this full album.The influence of soul and powerhouse vocal divas loom large over her debut album, Those Days Are Over. Songs like “If You Wanna Love Me,” “Tell Me” and “Hurts So Bad” ooze with the sound, feel and all the emotion of classic soul. Yet while the album is steeped in the sounds of yesterday, WILSN and her partner and producer Stephen Charles (Blessed, Tyne James Organ) took care to balance those classic elements with modern production techniques, leaning on Charles' background in hip hop production to amplify the grooves, dialing up the bottom end and keeping a modern excitement in the mix to make sure the record stood up sonically to contemporary releases. The result is a masterful work, at once timeless and of the now. The album will also be on Apple Music Spatial Audio and vinyl via Vinyl Me Please.We want to hear from you!

It's that sneaky second gifting season of the year (dads, grads, retirements, anniversaries…you get it!), and we're here to answer your calls for help. Ooh, speaking of calls: Want to leave us a voicemail at 833-632-5463 and share any thoughts/feelings that demand our podcasting attention?   If it's time to gift someone a watch: Max Bill for Junghans and Baume & Mercier Classima are classics and about $1k. Uniform Wares has minimalist vibes and top out around $500. Check out Fewer Finer for some vintage options! We also recommend looking into a sporty/casual vintage watch from Casio or Seiko—Foundwell and eBay are great places to explore (this one, this one!). Also: Swatch does custom. If you're looking for a watch for a little, Flik Flak's still got it (see: their recent Hodinkee collaboration), and Parchie and Mini Kyomo are cute for kids, too. For true watch experts, turn to Hodinkee and Dimepiece.   For men turning 40 whose watch taste is too $$$: We love the idea of a signet ring, and Kathryn Bentley does great ones. We also recommend a record player (and personally endorse Plus Audio and Technics by Panasonic Direct Drive Player System via eBay). To add to the record collection, maybe gift a subscription to Vinyl Me Please or round-up albums that came out during their birth year. Related gift: fancy speakers like the ones by Oda. Nice luggage is also a good call—we love Want Les Essentiels, Porter-Yoshida, and classics like Rimowa, Tumi, and Calpak. For hobby gifts, how about a surfboard, a film camera from Photodom, ceramics classes (s/o to Artshack near us!), or pickleball gear from Recess or Nettie (on the topic of pickleball, this New York mag profile of Connor Pardoe). Last but not least, NORMALIZE GIVING MEN FLOWERS!    For retirement gifts: Ask close coworkers to participate in something personal—maybe use Tribute or Padlet or go old-school and collect pictures and letters to make a scrapbook. We also love Storyworth! Or how's about helping them get oriented with a new hobby: For the dad in our VM, maybe a Backroads Bike Tour or a Bianchi bike (find them and other snazzy bikes used on Bike Exchange). There's also personal training: For a virtual option, check out Future (a good review).    When someone's having a baby but not their first one: Set the parent up with a massage (maybe an at-home one through Zeel) or food delivery from Ipsa, Three Owls, or The Culinistas. Treat them to a robe, slippers, a weighted blanket from Bearaby, or a bed tray (Chairish and 1stdibs for cool vintage ones and West Elm, and Offi for new ones) Or: Get something to keep the sibling busy! Non-messy craft projects like needlepoint/sewing kits (love Unwind Studio and LittleExplorersPlay) or a subscription to The Picture Book Club. For the new baby, what about a not-hand-me-down, home-from-the-hospital look from Makie or Lewis? Or something keepsake that second (and third and fourth) kids tend to get less of like a handknit blankie or a puzzle name stool from Damhorst Toys.   What to maybe, possibly ask for when you move into a new home: A return-address stamp from Paper Source or custom house numbers from House Number Lab or Casson. Outdoor stuff can be pricier than expected, so ask for plants from Fast Growing Trees, Plant Gem, and David Austin Roses, a local-nursery gift card, or gardening tools from The Floral Society or Terrain. What about a Solo Stove or a Barebones Living Portable 30" Fire Pit? Or a grill! We like the Weber Spirit II E-210 LP and the Lodge Sportsman's Pro Cast Iron Grill. Get into composting with an indoor bin from Bamboozle. Entertaining stuff is a good call—think an Insalata Serving Bowl or platters from Conran Shop, Bitossi Home, Christian Lacroix, Farmhouse Pottery, vintage spongeware from The Six Bells, and vintage Limoges on Etsy. Ooh, and framing, c/o your local frame shop or Framebridge! Finally, stools: Artek, TipToe, Bed Bath & Beyond, Metal Lab, and ChezRai ones specifically.

Once OutKast got its 5-mic review in The Source, what else was left to do? As Jah put it, the resulting sound wasn't Organized Noize — it was disorganized, to its biggest mainstream successes yet.
