Surface Noise | Talking More Record Collecting (Again) Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

Let's climb those steps, Buddies! This 'sode is from our recent SURFACE NOISE livestream talking with regulars David (Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion), Arnaldo (Fidelios_Frequency), and some newcomers in the form of the lethal weapon - Felipe of Jazz Bums fame - the venerable Wyoming Dave, and good friend of the program Novisnick from the great state of Louisiana. We lead the show talking about the Speakers Corner snafu (are they closing...are they still open) before delving into our two central questions for the show: (1) What should every record collector know AND (2) What should every record collector now about. The answers may surprise you! Click ahead to listen, and let us know on our socials or even the actual YouTube broadcast what you think and how you might choose to answer those questions! As always, thanks for your continued support for Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Concert Buddie | The Youngest Members of The Vinyl Community (TYMOTVC) Trip #3 Announcement Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

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!

On this trip around the turntable, Souldisco (Nadine) hosts a fun and insightful conversation about Vinyl Me, Please - the U.S. subscription vinyl service and independent record label.

The Show With No Name (Yet) - These Guys Again? Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

Oh. Hey. This show has everything! Furbies, screaming babies in Mozart wigs, sunburned drifters, puppets in disguise, a Teddy Ruxpin wearing mascara, clones, freaks, sneezing, a Russian man on a prepaid cell phone...oh, who are we kidding. Host Louie Golden brings his weekly livestream back to the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts with guest Rocco (Pieces of Vinyl) fresh off a power outage during the show, and returning panelists Vance (zeppearl) and Chance (Concert Buddie) - not a WWE tag team (anymore?) - to discuss VC channels they recommend as learning instruments in vinyl collecting, another recent instance of FOMO kicking in on the recent Cars/ST Rhino audiophile reissue, plus a larger discussion of whether digital recording gets a fair rep with advances in mastering technology compared to it's analog brethren. The conversation goes up, down, side to side, and all places in between. Some call it mayhem, we call it The Show With No Name (Yet). Join us, shall you? We float down here...

Surface Noise | Listening Party (Terra Firma) Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back my friends to the show that sometimes ends. Trying something new this week for SURFACE NOISE. Fresh off the heels of listening to the new album from Nick Perri & The Underground Thieves - TERRA FIRMA - our team share some thoughts, observations, and other insights into this album, as well as plays some choice cuts from the 14 song, independent double LP release from this collective. With 3/4 of the panel new to this artist and his music, it was a fun way to get fresh perspective on this fresh release, and we hope you take time following the pod to give the album a listen on your preferred streaming platform of choice. There are even some music videos available on YouTube! As always, sincere thanks for giving our little program a listen here, and for giving TERRA FIRMA a spin (or stream) at your convenience. It's projects like this that help put the "community" into "vinyl community", and hopefully give eyes and ears to help discover this wildly talented artist to a larger audience.

Concert Buddie | Mind of The Record Collector: Jim Kaplan - Founder of Record Collector News Jun 19, 2023

Show notes

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!

Concert Buddie | Records, Music, and Terra Firma: A Conversation with Nick Perri Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Buddies! Excited, pumped, stoked...I haven't been able to find the right words to express how thrilled I am to share this conversation with you! Dropping today, June 16th, TERRA FIRMA is the new double LP album (yes, double) from Nick Perri & The Underground Thieves. This is the 2nd album for this collective, and I was fortunate to spend some time talking to Nick about the new album, his fascinating career in the music industry (imagine opening for the likes of Van Halen, Aerosmith, and Motley Crue during the beginnings of your career - fresh into your 20's!), and his twists and turns since then that have led us to this incredible album: TERRA FIRMA. What is it like to create at every possible step of a project - writing the music, organizing the production, overseeing the mastering, promoting the project, then touring on it (I'm tired just writing that!). Plus, Nick is super passionate about vinyl and it was a MUST that this album (and the preceding title SUN VIA) came out on the format. I loved talking the hobby with him and you'll see him light up as we nerd out talking records and old media. I mean, it couldn't be a Vinyl Community Podcasts show with records, could it? Stay tuned to the channel and VINYL COMMUNITY PODCASTS for news on a listening party on 6/22/23 at 8pm CST on the SURFACE NOISE livestream where we'll be talking about the songs, the album, and giving away records - for real! But for now, check out the album yourself via the links below:
