Surface Noise is B-A-C-K!! Our panel of dedicated vinyl enthusiasts present another spin around the turntable, where in this week's podcast proper we'll discuss the hardest records to collect, find, or track down - does it vary by label, by artist, or genre? How much of a pursuit is TOO much of a pursuit (limits, people, limits). Everybody's got a price, but somebody's gotta pay (shoutout to the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase) ๐ต
Then we discuss what is the the best "closing" song to see in concert from a band or artist. Not just the "play the hits" crowd, but THE hit - the one that sends the crowd happy, the biggest hit, the song synonymous with the artist/band. THAT is a song to close a show with! ๐คฉ
All that and so much MORE, only on SURFACE NOISE! ๐ฃ๏ธ

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water, we bring you another FREESTYLE courtesy of the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE: A-Side! ๐ฆ
Our record collecting coalition shares "the one that got away" - a record that was attainable at one time, either when it first came out, or later at an affordable price - but (for whatever reason) will not be joining our collections any time soon (if ever) ๐ฉธ
From there, we discuss a topic on the internet of late regarding the recently concluded Record Store Day: should participating stores hold back product for themselves, including a tale of a store owner in some hot water for doing just that.
Sink or swim, this is the latest FREESTYLE! ๐คฟ

Surface Noise (A-Side) | What Do We Talk About When Record Store Day is Over?
Thursday Apr 17, 2025
Thursday Apr 17, 2025
The title says it all. ๐
(Don't worry, we have plenty to talk about).
After a busted attempt at a BRIEF RSD25 recap from our perches across the vinyl galaxy, we launch into our favorite best buys/scores from our record collecting careers. Were they records we found well, well, well under market rate? Maybe records we bought new when they first hit stores and now they are going for monopoly money? ๐ฐ๐ธ
The show that is regularly out of ideas continues to wring the mop 'til the last drop, only on SURFACE NOISE! ย ๐ซต๐ป

Happy Record Store Day Week Buddies! ๐๐พ It's a great list this year, and one of those coveted selections is sure to be the 90's rock album "Puzzle" from dada. For this 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts we speak with Joie Calio from dada to celebrate this long overdue vinyl arrival! (1:11)
The chat begins with learning about the origins of the band and how the boys crafted their sound in the early days before connecting with famed producer Ken Scott (The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, Lou Reed) to record their debut for I.R.S. records - 1992's debut "Puzzle". (2:04)
From there Joie reflects on last year's "Return to Dizz Knee Land" tour (including some clutch assistance from a certain Concert Buddie at one fateful gig) (16:17) before we learn how "Puzzle" got the long overdue vinyl pressing she deserves (26:53).
A lot of miles to cover (literally) on this latest spin on the turntable, but with Record Store Day in sight, this vinyl "puzzle" is fixing to be solved. Hear all about it only on Vinyl Community Podcasts! ๐งฉ

Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle (B-Side Edition)
Monday Mar 31, 2025
Monday Mar 31, 2025
When the extras aren't just extra, we serve another FREESTYLE of the latest Surface Noise: B-Side. ๐ฆ
Our vinylists put a bow on talk of the vinyl bubble, then share their latest pickups including a QC replacement you should be aware of.
We wrap it up with another installment of SMASH OR PASS where the guys discuss which musicians would (or wouldn't) be allowed at a children's birthday party. Would Frank Zappa be great at balloon animals? Maybe Snoop Dogg running the petting zoo? Cher serving refreshments and telling stories? It's quite a list, and we discuss aloud NEXT on the latest FREESTYLE! ๐ธ
