Concert Buddie | Record Store 2023 List: First, First Impressions! (Not a typo)

Waddup, Buddies! The Record Store Day list is here! What you are about to listen to is a lighthearted, fun conversation I had with some folks in the Vinyl Community sharing our thoughts on the recently dropped Record Store Day (RSD) list of offerings for 2023. The annual holiday for record lovers and indie stores alike is coming soon on Saturday, April 2023, and there are some tasty, tasty treats waiting at the local shops this year. In this 'sode you'll hear from our friends over at Vinyl Reckoning (Matt & Stacey), The Record Spinner (Dylan), and the self-anointed "RSD Hater" Jason Roxas. A spirited and fun discussion was had, ripe with records we are looking forward to picking up this RSD, and also a little love for Taylor Swift in the process. Swifties, assemble!

Concert Buddie | Internet Trolls: What Gives? | A Conversation with Robert Fithen

Hey Buddies! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Robert Fithen, a fellow member of the Vinyl Community, first to discuss his livelong passion for music, but then we dive into our experiences with internet trolls; namely, since we started doing YouTube videos in the VC. Robert also has some firsthand research from his broadcast + radio background into what makes a troll, well, troll. Robert is one of the best in the VC, and I hope this conversation is relatable to any content creator or anyone with a social media presence. Spoiler alert: trolls are gonna troll, and it has next to nothing to do with you. This conversation will also be featured on Vinyl Community Podcasts (info below). Thanks for your continued support, Buddies!

The Waxed | Interview with Enigmatic Jazz Artist Garrett Saracho and his Lost Jazz Album ‘En Medio’

This special presentation to Vinyl Community Podcasts is thanks to The Waxed (VC) and his terrific conversation with musician Garrett Saracho. What started with a comment on The Waxed's instagram page from Saracho's manager ultimately led to a direct meeting and chat with the artist himself. Fresh off the universally lauded reception to the RSD reissue of his lost jazz album "En Medio", this conversation details the artist talking about his career, this particular recording, and even another release that recently came out on vinyl: Jazz is Dead #15. These recordings are available at streaming services near you, and the vinyl can still be found (as of this writing) at indie record stores across the country (and the link below). We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did!

Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excusion | Susan Rogers: Early Prince Producer Turned Brain Scientist (Part Two)

Welcome aboard for Part 2 of the Safe and Sound Texas Audio Excursion conversation with Susan Rogers: record producer + engineer turned brain scientist who pursued learning the role of an audio technician by reading and working on equipment early in her career. Her big break to work for Prince in 1983 gave this self-starter the education of a lifetime with the megastar whose own penchant for learning, experiencing, teaching, and recording are well documented. From there, her studio experiences expanded into independent engineering, producing and mixing in the 1990's. At that time Susan achieved further success producing the Barenaked Ladies 4x platinum breakout smash "Stunt". She eventually phased out of in-studio work to attend college and earned a degree and Ph.D. in the areas of Music Cognition, Perception and Psychoacoustics. In September of 2022, her long anticipated book debuted: “This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You". In this book, the legendary record producer–turned–brain scientist explains why you fall in love with music and how you do it. The book can be found at all fine book retailers. Buckle up and join us for Part 2 of this latest Audio Excursion!
