Please join us for the latest foray into the wild world of vinyl record collecting: the one, the only SURFACE NOISE: A-Side! š„
First things first, we tackle šØBREAKING NEWS šØ - the Record Store Day 2025 list leaked, then dropped (officially). So what are our first impressions of the list? šø
Then, does the celebrity record collector do more harm than good? ie - do they project a level to collecting that is Unattainable? Unreasonable? or inspirational? Ex. Questlove, Elton John, Henry Rollins, etc. š¶ļø
And more, and more, and MORE! . . . . only on Surface Noise: A-Side! š§

Nestled into the latest FREESTYLE following the SURFACE NOISE B-Side, our vinyl adventures discussed color vinyl variants. Specifically, does the music sound better on anything other than black wax? With more choices than ever before of vinyl color treatments, splatters, or even liquid-filled records, is it better to just stay with tried & true black wax, or have manufacturers perfected the sound to match the high level of inspired color variants on today's latest records? Get these takes and MORE, here on the latest FREESTYLE!
