Concert Buddie | Too Many Color Variants? Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

Back in the building Buddies with another pod-exclusive presentation here on Vinyl Community Podcasts! Touching on a topic that's recently been in the news with Billie Eilish and her recent Billboard interview talking about the cash grab that persists with the overproduction of vinyl color and cover variants. Sure, there's a free market component to this topic, but she was also talking about the environmental effects that producing so many different vinyl variations is having from a sustainability perspective. Spurred in part by a recent Melinda Murphy video touching on it (link below), I give my thoughts on the topic, share some poor man's Mr. Science behind vinyl, and share some examples of albums & artists mayyyyybe not needing to make so many copies of their works (yes, Taylor Swift comes up). All that and MORE from this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Concert Buddie | I Sold On Whatnot (Now What) with Spinz Vinyl Mar 27, 2024

Show notes

The record keeps spinning, Buddies! Another brief pod-only show here on Vinyl Community Podcasts, this time joined by friend of the pod Jason (Spinz Vinyl) who recently took the plunge to selling records on the ecommerce platform Whatnot. If you are unfamiliar, Whatnot is an application/website that is hosted by individual sellers (sometimes including brick & mortar shop owners) selling their wares through the medium. It extends beyond vinyl records and includes sports cards, video games, clothing, shoes (and a ton more). Jason recently tried his hand at selling records in conjunction with his partnership with MION Records, and held two auctions right out of the gate. Here he shares he thoughts on the platform, why he is selling records there, how he chooses titles to sell there, and (most importantly) would he do it again (SPOILER: he is on March 30th at 12pm PST/3pm EST). Learn all about it here on this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Concert Buddie | Subscribe Me, Please? Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

Aloha Buddies! With the recent announcement that subscription-based vinyl service BANDBOX was closing up shop amidst bankruptcy proceedings, it led me to consider what the vinyl subscription + service space looks like past, present, and future. Vinyl Me, Please is the lion in the vinyl-curation/subscription business, but there are several smaller businesses that are putting exclusive and distinct records in the hands of their customers through this business model, and adding their own unique "spin" (#dadjoke) to how they go about it. This pod will walk through that and also identify other potential threats to this distinct business model out in the greater vinyl landscape. Join me for this latest mini 'sode here only on VINYL COMMUNITY PODCASTS!
