Concert Buddie | Kiss Roundtable #3: End of the Road?
Thursday Dec 28, 2023
Thursday Dec 28, 2023
When we began this journey Buddies, I was but a newb in most things Kiss, and hadn't even seen the band perform live. As we conclude this first "Roundtable" series, that has all changed. After the band wrapped it's "final" End of the Road tour, I had to reconvene some of the biggest and most knowledgeable Kiss fans I know in this Vinyl Community to discuss what I saw, learned, and their own lasting impressions of the biggest band in the world. Joined on this farewell we have Dylan (The Record Spinner), Mark Anthony K (Projekt Gemineye + KissFAQ Podcast), and Felipe (Jazz Bums). Grab the Kiss branded kleenex and get ready to reminisce on this latest episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle!
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
So many takes, so little time. That's why we have the FREESTYLE portion of each SURFACE NOISE production. This go-round we tackle some top-tier flute players (really), did Vinyl Me Please flub up the latest rock release for their members (sold out?), more QC messes in the hobby, and maybe even some talk of being mezmerized by Herbie Mann's luscious chest sweater. It's what your mama warned you about, the latest SURFACE NOISE + FREESTYLE!

Northern Revolutions | OG’s vs Reissues, Old vs New Vinyl - A Discussion
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
In this installment of the Vinyl Community Podcasts, host Rob from "Northern Revolutions" is joined by fellow YouTube vinylists Jason Arsenault and Alex from "Beer and Vinyl" to have discussion about our collecting preferences of old vs new vinyl. New vinyl is coming out at an unprecedented pace with so many tempting new titles, remasters, reissues, expanded editions, deluxe boxsets and so on. There is a lot to tempt record collectors to shell out their hard earned money on what is increasingly becoming quite expensive new records. Or is the thrill of the hunt for original pressings and vintage discs more alluring? You also have to consider the sound quality of old and new records. It's a great time to be a record collector, but there are a lot of things to consider. Jason, Alex and Rob wrestle with these questions and share their reflections on years of collecting and how they approach the hobby today. Click ahead and start the show, already!

Concert Buddie | Opening a Record Store: Billy Hurst of RiverBend Records
Monday Dec 18, 2023
Monday Dec 18, 2023
Have you ever thought about opening a record store? Our guest on this latest 'sode of Vinyl Community Podcasts thought about it - and did it! Joined by Billy Hurst, owner of RiverBend Records in Godfrey, Illinois, we pick his brain on just how he turned the dream most record collectors have into a bona fide reality. Before we get there, we learn about Billy's experience as part of the "Vinyl Community" on YouTube, his background in record collecting, and then what led him to the fateful decision to start a record store in the middle of a pandemic (really). RiverBend Records has been opened for just over three years, and there have been many learnings and challenges that Billy will share with us. Since opening, his shop has endeared itself not just to the local community (and St. Louis metro area), but has gained a following selling records through the Facebook platform on Monday nights. We'll learn more about that (including the last sale of 2023 the day this airs - Monday, December 18th, 6pm Central), and what future state + goals the shop has for the future. Been looking forward to doing this sitdown for sometime, and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Be sure to check out the final RiverBend Records online live sale on Monday, December 18th starting at 6pm Central at their Facebook page (link above). 10% of tomorrow night’s sale will benefit their local 5A’s Animal Shelter.
