Concert Buddie | The Future of Vinyl Collecting? Learning About Vintage Media Grading (VMG) Nov 22, 2023

Show notes

Something different for you with this one, Buddies. For this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts, I'm joined by Chad and Drew from Vintage Media Grading (VMG). The guys were kind enough to inform and share what their business is about: namely, introducing a new way to collect vinyl into the marketplace. Taking cues from other collectible spaces like sports cards, comic books, etc., VMG offers third party grading services on vinyl records, including "slabbing", which is commonplace in those aforementioned hobbies. As VMG has been gaining awareness in the hobby, there's some natural questions that come from this new way to collect vinyl records. Listen ahead to learn more about this alternative to traditional vinyl collecting, additional services VMG offers (the "V" doesn't mean "vinyl" for a reason), and also the origins of this new company (hint: we have some fellow record collectors in our midst). All this and more on this latest installment of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Surface Noise | FREESTYLE Edition! Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

As the saying goes - you get what you pay for (the legal team made us say that).

For this "Freestyle" from our latest episode of SURFACE NOISE, we tackled the bogus Rolling Stone top 250 guitarist list, and might have unearthed some naughty history on the father of rock n roll (seriously). For these musings and more, click ahead here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Concert Buddie | Mind of The Record Collector: Patrick (pbthal) Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

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!

Surface Noise | More Discogs Mess + Halloween Vinyl Oct 30, 2023

Show notes

Lock your doors and get the big candy bars ready, this latest edition of SURFACE NOISE talks about the continuing trials & tribulations of Discogs, why isn't there a worthy direct competitor, and is there good Halloween-specific vinyl out there? That, and maybe we discuss why Ringo Starr has never eaten pizza (FACT).

Concert Buddie | Mind of The (Audiophile) Record Collector: Steve Westman Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

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!
