Surface Noise | Who Are True Living Legends?

Thursday Jun 26, 2025

Legend. Icon. G.O.A.T. 👑

These terms are brandied about very freely in today's culture, but does everyone deserve it when this accolade comes their way? What exactly warrants "Legend" status? What makes an "Icon"? Not everyone can be the "G.O.A.T", can they?

On the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE, our panel opens up the lid on this topic, first explaining what they feel constitutes such hefty titles. After setting the table, they open up the bag to share their own picks for these lofty labels of immortality.

Will your musical inspirations make the cut? Who do you need to make sure to see before they exit the stage for the final time? We've got all that covered for this spin of SURFACE NOISE!

Sam St. John | An Interview with the Legendary Tommy James

Wednesday Jun 18, 2025

For this latest trip around the turntable, Sam St. John (aka Americana Sam) had the great fortune of sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and PLATINUM selling artist Tommy James.

In this chat, they discuss his long historic career with Tommy James and the Shondells and iconic hits like "Mony, Mony", "Crimson and Clover", and "I Think We're Alone Now"; songs that have been covered from other legendary artists ranging from Billy Idol, Prince, Dolly Parton, and even Tiffany.

Besides regular touring, Tommy has hosted the radio show "Gettin' Together with Tommy James" on SiriusXM 60s Gold (channel 73) for eight years and counting, where he shares stories about songs and artists from the 60s and beyond including his own experiences as a hitmaker, touring, new projects and so much more. The conversation even touches on the mafia-ran Roulette Records, featured in his book "Me, The Mob, and The Music".

Go to www.tommyjames.com for a full list of tour dates, merch and upcoming info!

Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle

Monday Jun 16, 2025

Roll over Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky that SURFACE NOISE has a FREESTYLE to share with the masses! For this separate stanza, our crew of dedicated sound merchants is still joined by Adam Tiro from The Freight to discuss "Vinyl Myths" - notions (preconceived or other) we have held about record collecting and the hobby in general that have yet to bear the fruit we expected. 🍒

The immortal John Bong arrives just in time to share his love of the Boston Red Sox and sex toys at Spencer’s Gifts before the panel laments about the ghosts of vinyl past at Newbury Comics. 💦

We close the show with a talk about the passing of a Vinyl Community friend, Billy Jones. The late owner of Billy's Record Salon in Brooklyn was a friend to all, a terrific grate digger, and most importantly, an excellent human. 💔
Please read more about Billy in the pieces in show notes below.

Thursday Jun 12, 2025

Join us for the latest in vinyl vernacular courtesy of SURFACE NOISE with something different. For this trip around the turntable we are joined by Adam Tiro of The Freight discussing the release of their new album "Tales of Maybe" - out now (links below). 🔗

An avid record collector himself, Adam shares his music journey, formation of this band (a two-time nominee for Rock Act of The Year for the New England Music Awards), the writing and recording of the album, and the decision-making they undertook to bring this work to life. ⚡️

From choosing the specific mastering engineer (Ryan Smith), down to the pressing plant used to make the actual vinyl records (Fidelity Record Pressing aka MoFi's plant), and why it was ESSENTIAL the album was recorded and mastered for vinyl. "Tales of Maybe" is out NOW on Bandcamp, streaming services, or the band's website. All information below! 🔻
