Flip that record over and listen to the latest 'sode of SURFACE NOISE where our dais of audiophiliacs discuss the latest news in the wild world of vinyl record collecting - Taylor Swift, Miles Davis, and Danzig reissues - who knew?!? 🤯

Then we learn where David Bianco has been the past few weeks, including his visit to the In-Groove in Phoenix, dropping by to interview Kevin Gray on his home turf, and concluding his trek with a sit-down with the legendary Bernie Grundman (part 1 of the interview available on his YouTube channel - link below).

Plus, BONG IS BACK! Listen as John Bong returns to form and we hear about "The Day of the Beaver".

Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: Is The End Near?

Oct 6, 2025

56 min

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 the latest installment of SURFACE NOISE our cunning vinylists discuss if the time to walk away from building the record collection of your dreams is closer than you think, plus first impressions (good and the not so good) on the drop of the 2025 Record Store Day Black Friday list.

Three words: Creed Live Album.

It only goes one way, and that way leads to SURFACE NOISE. 💣💥

Surface Noise | Bonus Trax

Sep 29, 2025

57 min

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! 💣💥

Surface Noise | Waiting is the Hardest Part

Sep 25, 2025

57 min

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.

Get some.

Surface Noise | Bonus Trax

Sep 22, 2025

51 min

🚨 Re-brand alert! 🚨

Formerly known as the FREESTYLE following SURFACE NOISE, we've made a few tweaks to the presentation so this segment will feature free banter and some structured topics on occasion.

This time, we hit on several notes including: the Monterrey meetup of John Bong and Jason Roxas, will Discogs ever get a direct competitor (ReverbLP RIP), and the shoes the Heaven's Gate cult wore and why they are wicked expensive (yes, we went there)....

The price is nice. 💰

Roll up it twice. 2️⃣

These are BONUS TRAX courtesy of the show of record talkin' records, SURFACE NOISE. Get some. 📗
