Concert Buddie | Mind of the Record Collector: The Record Spinner
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Buddies! Thanks for coming by again! This video is a continuation of my series on Vinyl Community Podcasts called "Mind of the Record Collector". This episode features The Record Spinner (Dylan) and an awesome conversation we shared touching on a lot of things: his experience(s) on YouTube, as a member of the YMOTVC (more on that later), collecting records during the current "vinyl resurgence", and working in a local record store (how cool is that??). Dylan is a fountain of music knowledge and passion, and you'll find that shine brightly here during this chat. As always, these conversations can also be found on Vinyl Community Podcasts allowing you to take the content to listen to when you want, how you want, and where you want. It's a good one! #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #podcast

Thursday Mar 09, 2023
Thursday Mar 09, 2023
Hey there Buddies! For this 'sode drop we share a livestream talking about Vinyl "Regrets" (or "Ragrets"....if you know, you know) from our respective collecting journeys: records we should have bought, trends we should have avoided, and more! We had the great fortune to be joined for this conversation by Rob at Northern Revolutions, Steve aka Harmless Rebel, and the International Sex Symbol of the Vinyl Community, the incomparable Vinyl Richie, to discuss this particular topic and a little dose of shenanigans. We trust you will be able to relate to some of these regrets we share in our record collecting journeys, and hope you enjoy checking out this conversation!

Second verse...same as the first! Back by popular demand on Vinyl Community Podcasts, Souldisco (aka Nadine) returns to share her follow up conversation with Andreas Kohl, a longtime music industry professional (for background on Andreas, please feel free to revisit the previous conversation from the link below).
For this episode, a handful of crowd-sourced topics were discussed, including:
- Do picture discs really sound worse than standard vinyl, and why?
- How to define what an "audiophile" means from his vantage point in the industry.
- Do record-flattening machines help or hurt the grooves of our vinyl?
- A deep explanation of promotional records: from hole punches, corner cuts, foil stamping, etc.
- His thoughts + insights on true mono vs. stereo records.
- Are there ways for manufacturers to adjust the way they sleeve records from the production floor to avoid the rash of seam splits on new vinyl?
AND MORE!
It's a great opportunity to conduct and share these chats with folks like Andreas, and we hope you enjoy these long form conversations here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Here we go again, Buddies! My latest conversation on the Vinyl Community Podcasts feed is a great chat with Arnaldo over at the Fidelios_Frequency YouTube Channel. If you didn't know, Arnaldo works in the music industry, and we cover that and how that aligns with his record collecting journey. More so, we talk about working with passion - working in an industry, a specific job, or a specific cause you are passionate about - a topic we can both relate to. We wrap things up with the coveted #lightninground of rapid fire questions for the contemporary record collector. Let me know what you think of the conversation in the comments below! #vinylcommunity #podcast #vinylcollection

Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion | YouTube: First Year Reflections
Monday Feb 27, 2023
Monday Feb 27, 2023
Hope we didn't keep you waiting! Welcome again to the Safe and Sound Texas Audio Excursion! On this episode, David Bianco reflects back on a life spent listening to and collecting vinyl, and on the past year - his first on YouTube as a member of the greater Vinyl Community. What a time to have started his channel! From MoFi-Gate, to unwelcomed quality control matters, to continued explosive growth in the hobby, there's never been a better time to collect the vinyl format and to engage with others doing the same; be it on YouTube, social media, or even (gasp) the Hoffman Forums (well, most places). Nearing close to 2,000 subscribers, David is both appreciative for the support, and excited to share what's in store for this next year. Our sincere thanks to you for listening to this show, and our other programming here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion | G.I. Sanders: Owner + Operator of NTX Vinyl
Wednesday Feb 22, 2023
Wednesday Feb 22, 2023
Welcome again to the Safe and Sound Texas Audio Excursion here on Vinyl Community Podcasts! This episode is a memorable conversation host David Bianco shared with G.I. Sanders - owner and operator of NTX Vinyl. G.I. has developed a unique and distinct business model of selling vinyl across multiple locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex (Texas) area. A dedicated collector himself, G.I. has worked tirelessly not only operating his vinyl locations, but in branding NTX Vinyl by leveraging social media and YouTube to grow his reach and business to a continued small business success. Combining his passion for the hobby and music, G.I. understands many of the basic concerns of collectors today, and carefully integrates that into his business model. In lieu of the traditional brick and mortar overhead, G.I. digs deep into selling online just as much as his physical imprints, including a burgeoning presence on the selling platform Whatnot. We trust you'll find this conversation as enjoyable as we had making it!
