Northern Revolutions | Tale of Two Record Collectors Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

In this latest installment of the Vinyl Community Podcasts, our host Rob of the YouTube channel Northern Revolutions chats with Jason Arsenault. Jason has been long time viewer and comment contributor of VC videos and has recently jumped in the pool and started making his own YouTube vinyl content. Jason and Rob have vastly different experiences in the vinyl record collecting world. While both are in their 40's, Rob has been a record collector since his teenage days in the 90's, whereas Jason is a relative newcomer catching the vinyl bug during the pandemic. As a result the have had quite different experiences with the hobby. The discussion ranges from how each got into the hobby, how buying has changed in the last 30+ years and where their collections are headed. Rob and Jason have quite different perspectives but ultimately share the same love of the format.

Putting the train back on the tracks to our regular time slot, this episode of SURFACE NOISE tackles our thoughts on the RSDBF 2023 list and a probing question of late - is a real VHS comeback upon us? Our presentation shifts course hard left when we get a correspondent in NYC by way of Seattle to report on the beginnings of the Vinyl Community WFMU Record Fair meetup. The pile on continues when Patrick (pbthal) and Harry (Harry's Music Room) and even Wyoming Dave join us during the freestyle portion of the show.

Surface Noise | Austin Record Show Recap + Full Freestyle Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

As promised, the gang is back together (most of us) to recap our experiences, thoughts, and pickups from the recent Austin Record Convention. Joined by Jason Roxas, Jose Moreno Rahn, David Bianco, and Louie Golden, we discuss our Austin experience and talk about meeting each other in "real life". Fellow Austin attendees Harry and Eddie P. drop by to add more insight into this rowdy get together. An added bonus, we're including our "freestyle" portion of this broadcast where topics go awry, such as Jose's surprising love of Domino's Pizza and our severe dislike of "flip to tip" service seemingly everywhere. Long winds, rants, and recaps ahead Buddies!

Concert Buddie | Mind of The Record Collector: The Waxed(!) Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

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!

Concert Buddie | Collecting Music Across Formats: Monie Muse Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

Set your lasers to FUN, Buddies! This latest 'sode is a conversation with a YouTube channel + creator that recently hit my radar in the past few months (silly algorithms), although she's been doing it for much longer than that. Monie Muse (Monica) has a passion for the music collects, and collects it across multiple formats besides vinyl (CD's, hello). We talk about her experience on YouTube, and what it's like to be a woman in a space often crowded by very opinionated men. From there we touch on how she sources the pieces she collects, what music fills her cup, and her focus to living intentionally with the music she does keep (ie minimalism). We bring it home with some light hearted "lightning round" questions where mischief may be in play. All this and MORE, here on the latest episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Northern Revolutions | Grace Potter: The Journey to ”Mother Road” Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Hello again everybody! For this latest installment of Vinyl Community Podcasts, host Rob of Northern Revolutions is joined by Concert Buddie (Chance) to discuss their shared affinity for the talented singer/songwriter Grace Potter. Both have been fans of her work for over a decade, and share similar paths to learning about her and following her musical journey since. Grace began her music career some time ago, most notably in the band bearing her name - Grace Potter and The Nocturnals - starting around 2005. This was the starting point for our hosts, with both discovering her music right around the same time in 2011. After several years and releases with the band, Grace forged a new direction with the release of her first solo work - "Midnight" - in 2015. A callback in several ways to artists of yesteryear, she evokes the fire of Janis Joplin, the showstopping stage chops of Tina Turner, incredible musicianship across multiple instruments, and the songwriting of some of the great rock writers of the modern era. On her latest release - "Mother Road" - we find her clearly in her own lane, with clear direction on her sound, her songs, and her music as she points her car forward into the distant horizon. What do the guys think of the new album? How do they feel about her penchant for releasing her work on vinyl? And what album/songs would they recommend to someone new to her music? Answers to these questions and more, ahead on this installment of Vinyl Community Podcasts!
