Aloha Buddies! Back at the control deck here on Vinyl Community Podcasts to talk about a topic on my mind lately: why is there gatekeeping in this Vinyl Community of ours? For this convo I'm joined by Friend of the Show (FOS) Matt from the YouTube channel Vinyl Reckoning as we explore the whats and whys as to how record collecting is a hobby often prone to tactics, commentaries, and attitudes that can not be as inviting or inclusive as we'd hope it can be. Is this a generational thing? Does every hobby seem to have so-called "gatekeeping" to new entries young and old? Or is it just a bi-product of our internet culture run amok? We also extend the conversation to whether or not this attitude by the few affects the many in the form of gaslighting people who are simply wanting to share their vinyl journey with others online; be it on YouTube, forum boards, or social media platforms. Personally I've seen it push people out of the community (a real shame), and been on the receiving end of it from a small handful of people myself. A piece too hot for the local news, sit back and give your ears a taste of the latest 'sode here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

For his first contribution to Vinyl Community Podcasts, Sam St. John presents an interview he conducted with Chris "Gringo Starr" Sprague, drummer of Los Straitjackets, the long time touring band of artist Nick Lowe. We discuss Chris' own background in music, playing with Nick and the Straitjackets respectively, as well as the road to the new album "Indoor Safari," the first Nick Lowe album in over a decade - out September 13 on YepRoc records. Now in year 30(!) of the band, hear all about that and how the Straitjackets set a record for most band appearances on Conan O'Brien back in the day. That and MORE here on the latest episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

After the big lights dim, the Surface Noise crew goes right into the patented FREESTYLE portion of the proceedings. The guys welcome newcomer Dawson to the dais and touch on Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, why Jose has a strong distaste for anything Foo Fighters, a small recap of the "King of Royalty: Dethroned?" convo from earlier in the podcast, what constitutes an "80's band", and finally Jason Roxas has enough and drops off from disgust (maybe). All that and MORE here on the latest SURFACE NOISE: FREESTYLE!

For his latest pour on Vinyl Community Podcasts, Alex (Beer & Vinyl) is back with an interview with musician Frank Secich.
Here's quick bio:
Frank Secich (born June 14, 1951) is an American rock musician, songwriter, author and record producer. He was the bass player and founding member of the group Blue Ash from 1969 to 1979 and guitarist and bassist for the Stiv Bators band from 1979 until 1981. He played in the Cleveland-based group Club Wow with Jimmy Zero of the Dead Boys from 1982 to 1985 and produced the Ohio band the Infidels from 1985 to 1990. He is currently the rhythm guitarist for the Deadbeat Poets who were formed in 2006 in Youngstown, Ohio. Frank Secich's autobiography "Circumstantial Evidence" was published by High Voltage Publishing of Australia in 2015. His second book "Not That Way Anymore" was published in November 2023 by High Voltage Publishing. His current band, The Deadbeat Poets are on Pop Detective Records, which is owned by Mark Hershberger.
In 1973, Youngstown, OH Band Blue Ash released their debut record "No More, No Less" to critical acclaim. (Alex note: not only do I critically acclaim it, I put it up there with one of the best Power Pop records of the 70s and all time!). We hope you enjoy this fun conversation here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Welcome back, Buddies! Hitting the ground running here with a mini 'sode talking about my own walk in the premium reissue market - namely UHQR - and how that series and the aims of other labels under the "audiophile" banner are pushing our vinyl appetites (and wallets) into places that require some real examination about the long term viability of those efforts. Based on some smaller direct conversations I've had with others in the community at large, I'm not alone in wondering what some of these labels are thinking, and I share some thoughts here only on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Buddies! I had the great fortune to befriend the latest guest on "Mind of The Record Collector' during my latest visit to the Austin Record Convention in May. Ari Crane has been collecting records for several decades, traversing the country in search of the obscure, the unusual, and the rare pieces of wax many of us only hear about. A fixture on the record show circuit, the stories Ari shares here are GOLD (just like the ones he shared in Austin with me during our first meeting). He's been a record store owner, served as Consignment Director of Vinyl Records and Music Memorabilia for Heritage Auctions, and now leads his latest endeavor - Vinyl4Vets.com - putting vinyl and means to listen to it into the hands of the heroes who serve this country. It's a wide-ranging talk, including why Ari believes encapsulation (ie "slabbing") will move a section of the hobby forward in a way similar to sports cards, comics, etc., and he may even pull out some mega rare records in his own collection that he's decided to archive in this fashion. All this and MORE, here on Vinyl Community Podcasts and "Mind of The Record Collector"!
