Following the latest SURFACE NOISE episode, our BONUS TRAX segment featured a question many record collectors face at some point: am I ready to move off my collection? Friend of the show MrHoffame (Brandon), one of the OG's of the Vinyl Community on YouTube is at that very crossroads. The panel digs deep into where this sentiment came from with Brandon, where he's at in his process and approach, and does that mean he's getting out - completely? Plus, Arnaldo's HOT streak continues as he finds another OG that is sure to get people talking. Settle in for a very special BONUS TRAX. You'll be glad you did.   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on guest Brandon (MrHoffame):  https://www.youtube.com/@mrhoffame https://www.soundsofyou.net   For more on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency):  https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency IG: @fidelios_frequency   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker IG: @thegrooveseeker   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

Haven't quenched your appetite for record collecting talk 😏? Good, because on BONUS TRAX following the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE, we continue to beat on the piñata that is collecting vinyl records. This menu will consist of: (1) Are there too many records store nowadays? 🍗 (2) Ticketmaster/Live Nation vs DOJ lawsuit and why the head of Live Nation feels concert tickets today are "undervalued" 🍿 (3) What is the proper anniversary gates for reissues that slap on that banner? One Year? Five Years? Twenty Years? etc, etc. 🍭 That, and more nonsense than you can shake a record brush at (like who pre-ordered the new Jessica Simpson Wal-Mart only album). 🤯 Only on BONUS TRAX! 💣💥   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on guest John (Music Talk with John + Strange Brew Reactions): https://www.youtube.com/@musictalkwithjohn https://www.youtube.com/@strangebrewreactions   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency):  https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency IG: @fidelios_frequency   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker IG: @thegrooveseeker   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

For this latest trip around the turntable, our band of dedicated record collectors discuss waiting (and waiting...and waiting) for pre-orders to ship - why the delays, why do stores and retail get their copies before direct-to-consumer and fan store buys, and is there anything we can do about it? We also discuss the recent Tone Poet release of a Frank Sinatra record ("In the Wee Small Hours") and what that could mean for the reissue wars and what is left for them to put out to market. Plus current events and questionable music takes that will make the wallpaper peel. Only on SURFACE NOISE.

How far is TOO far to go for records? No, no, we are not talking about putting sugar in your competition's gas tank. Our dais of dedicated vinylists discuss just how far they would travel to seek out new (to them) records. But first, they dive into current events in the world of record collecting including news of another UHQR release, a Bob Dylan box set announcement, a Neil Young box set announcement, a coveted Spacehog album gets a reissue, and The Beatles (we couldn't do a show without them) dropped Anthology 4 as a stand-alone release.  All that and much, much more.

Winding down the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE is this here FREESTYLE segment, where our panelists just can't get enough of the G.G. Allin talk. Following a couple deep breaths, the conversation turns to a deeper discussion on the discography of the band Suicide, and somehow, someway, the Beatles Mono box set re-enters the VCP orbit (don't ask us how). Naturally, the conversation has to include the biggest news drop of the week: the latest Taylor Swift record (the kids call it 'TS12'). Is Taylor the greatest self marketer of our time? Probably.    All this and a deep dive into Guy Ritchie and Madonna movies (wish we were making this up), only on the latest FREESTYLE, courtesy of the gents of SURFACE NOISE.

So much left to talk about, this FREESTYLE from the latest SURFACE NOISE keeps the record spinning! We check in with the returning Arnaldo for his hottest of takes on the latest UHQR announcement before discussing the underwhelming announcement of the latest Mobile Fidelity One Step release (for pre-order) of Stevie Nicks' "Bella Donna". Are certain titles becoming "doorknob" fodder: every reissue label is taking a turn? Plus, the dais discusses young people fueling the return of cds and how not all cds are created equal. Like vinyl, different country releases often are mastered differently.

Does anyone use a paper map anymore? Not the kind in your smart phone, but a legit paper map? For the latest and not so greatest episode of SURFACE NOISE, our vinyl paleontologists are here to discuss how collecting records makes one a more informed music fan; rather, how listening to one album, one song, one artist/band can spur us to dig deeper, to learn and expand the knowledge further from the various branches that entails. All in the pursuit of music enjoyment...or trying to. Plus David Bianco returns to share news from the front lines after visiting a couple emerging pressing plants in North Carolina with new technology as part of their offerings - it's some pretty awesome advancements you don't want to miss!

For the latest bonus disc of SURFACE NOISE, this FREESTYLE touches on news of the next two UHQR's from Acoustic Sounds: "Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section" and "Way Out West" from the legendary Sonny Rollins. Does our panel feel these are more great choices, or more of the same from this series? ACould there be market fatigue with some of these curation choices being repeated over and over, across reissue campaigns? nd where are the Bob Marley UHQR's? One inquiring mind not in attendance definitely wants to know! Following that discussion, we bring it home talking about the best names in music - artists or bands with names so good, they might even be better than the actual music they made.  It's the record talk you didn't know you needed, until you didn't have it - it's the latest FREESTYLE courtesy of SURFACE NOISE!   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on guest Jefferson (Tubelandia): https://www.youtube.com/@JeffersonDD   For more on guest Alex (Beer & Vinyl): https://www.youtube.com/@beerandvinyl   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker   For more on Jose Moreno Rahn: https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

The Vinyl Community livestream that you love to not love, SURFACE NOISE is back hitting all the dinged corners of the record collecting hobby. This latest show touches on the differences (if any) of a "rare" record versus a "collectible" record. When does chasing down something uncommon focus more on the artifact than the article?

Step behind the velvet ropes and welcome to the VC Social Club: an intimate gathering of vinyl record collectors discussing vinyl and music topics of the day (smoking jacket is optional). The regular panel consists of host Jason Roxas, Chris (The Grooveseeker), Dom (Seekingathread), and Joel (Static ATX Records). This particular conversation kicks off discussing personal listening habits - how/where/when we listen to the music we have on vinyl - before the immortal John Bong joins the proceedings (16:04)  Soon followed by another guest (Concert Buddie) (37:00) fresh off covering the looming Buckingham/Nicks reissue onslaught, the conversation dovetails into a deep dive into fast food chains and their old record labels. Did you know that KFC made records AND original extra crispy chicken? Or Cracker Barrel serves LP's and meatloaf and dumplings? It's true, it's true, it's cholesterol frenzy true.  The conversation moves to a brief study on Julie Andrews, and whether she was secretly a member of the Jugalos, before attempting to get back to the last topic of the show - artists that no longer matter. Some of the names and bands will shock you (or shake your fist to the sky).  Welcome to the VC Social Club. Have a seat, drinks will be served soon. 🍸🍷   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on host Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker   For more on Dom (Seekingathread): https://www.youtube.com/@seekingathread   For more on Joel (Static ATX Records) https://www.youtube.com/@staticatx https://staticatx.com   For more on Jose Moreno Rahn (aka John Bong): https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com    

Back in the building buddies! Still talking records, but this conversation adds a little flavor thanks to a Canadian neighbor 🇨🇦. On this 'sode I'm speaking to SeeJayAre (Charlie), longtime YouTuber and lifelong music fan. If you are familiar with his channel, Charlie has amassed a loyal following of video game hunters, garage sale enthusiasts, and op culture collectors alike, now approaching close to aspirational 100k subscriber mark (just a hair under 93k as of this episode). He had built one of the greatest retro game and physical media spaces through nothing more than dedication and hustle, hitting garage sales regularly over a decade. After a hiatus from YouTube following some life changes, he's back at it as he begins anew, both with his content and his game collection. The conversation gets to learn more about his own journey with music, from the early days of sharing rock music with his dad, discovering a passion for 90's hip-hop as he was growing up, to building his own vinyl record collection in the same fashion as his gaming one. Like one collector to another, we share a similar path in how we build collections of what we enjoy, both for the thrill of the find and a callback to what we've enjoyed for over a lifetime. Charlie generously shares his tips for garage sale success, and a couple of stories of the days (and early mornings) hitting the back roads and subdivision pavement in search of treasures from yesteryear.  We wrap the conversation with another fun lighting round of questions that find Charlie and Concert Buddie both trying to resurrect Tom Green's old hip-hop band (look it up, it happened).  It's the latest and greatest collecting talk known to mankind, only on Vinyl Community Podcasts! 👾   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on guest Charlie (SeeJayAre):' YT: https://www.youtube.com/@SeeJayAre IG: @seejayare   For more on Concert Buddie: YT: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie Website: https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com         . . . . .
