Settle those seats back, tray tables deployed, and join host David Bianco for another Audio Excursion! David has been buying audio equipment of varying degrees since 1971, and this broadcast shares valuable information on building a great sounding system - for less! Don't think building a great audio system has to be super expensive. Don't rely just on reviews or other people promoting a product, especially if they have a stake in the sale of the product "To thine own self be true" - Know what you like in terms of sound. Know what your environment is like to provide a reasonable soundstage. Take time to compare. Talk to friends, listen to their systems. Then decide... And KNOW what your preferences are in sound and be sure to confirm the puzzle pieces of your system paint the audio picture you desire. Tell us what you think after this latest Audio Excursion!

Concert Buddie | Can There Be UNITY in the Vinyl CommUNITY?
Wednesday Sep 06, 2023
Wednesday Sep 06, 2023
Digging deeper on this one, Buddies. I'm joined by a fellow content creator on YouTube in the Vinyl Community, Steve (Vinyl Chef Steve). On his channel he recently dropped a video called "Keeping The UNITY in The Vinyl CommUNITY" (yes, I totally ripped off his use of capitalization for effect). Several of the thoughts and sentiments he expressed in that video were ones I've shared and thought long about, so when I heard him speak many of those shared thoughts and opinions aloud, I had to reach out and expand the conversation. We hit on many pieces within his video - why are people so critical to strangers, why people should be able to make whatever they choose on their channel without scorn or ridicule, and even share how Steve and I started out on the wrong foot over a difference of opinion only to eventually find common ground and do so with civility and kindness. It can be done, folks! Kindess is still free (I checked). Curious what other places this conversation took us? Ch-ch-ch-check it out now!

B-b-b-back with another jam packed 'sode of SURFACE NOISE! Joined for this presentation by David (Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion), Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency) and Jason Roxas, we are touching on the topic of moving - specifically the hustle and bustle required to move our records. Can it be done efficiently? What kind of boxes do you use? Does the process of moving large collections make us think about selling off our collections and joining a cult? This and MORE, only on SURFACE NOISE!

You wanted the best, you got us (again) Buddies! I'm back in the pilot's seat learning about the biggest band in the world, flanked by some of the deepest fans with the best information about the band in our Vinyl Community. Once again Dylan (The Record Spinner) and Felipe (Jazz Bum Felipe) return, joined also by co-host of the KISS FAQ Podcast, Mark Anthony K (Projekt Gemineye) as we toss around the question: which era of KISS was best - the masked or unmasked eras? No blood or fire was spit in this discussion, but some serious KISS-torians educated me in the vast differences in these parts of the band's KISS-tory. Prepare to have your face (or ears) melted - you've been warned! Click ahead for this latest conversation on Vinyl Community Podcasts....

Concert Buddie | Podcasts Unite! A Chat with ”Two Guys Talking About Records”
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Ready for a good time, Buddies? After much debating, negotiating, and conversating, I'm joined by the great guys over at the podcast "Two Guys Talking About Records" - Jim Gleason and Steve Carlson - to talk about their collecting backgrounds, how they met, and (more importantly) what on earth possessed them to start a podcast (looks in mirror). Kidding aside, Jim (owner of Radio Wasteland Records in Midland, MI) and Steve Carlson ("The Mayor" of The Vinyl Community) have one of the best vinyl-related podcasts going, and it was fun to hear all about it! We even feature a cameo by one of the youngest record collectors in the history of the Vinyl Community (who might be related to one of our guests) to put a fun bow on a fun conversation. You can hear "Two Guys Talking About Records" on iHeart Radio, Spotify, YouTube and (soon) Apple Podcasts. Let's goooooooo!
