Concert Buddie | New School vs Old School: Record Collecting Across Generations

Welcome in, Buddies! This 'sode of Vinyl Community Podcasts is a fun conversation I shared recently with Matt Dunn from the YouTube Channel Prime Analog Records and his daughter Bennett to discuss record collecting + music consumption in a "new school vs. old school" kind of way. Like most dads, Matt instilled his love of music early in Bennett's formative years, and we talk about why he felt it was important to share a diverse offering of musical styles + artists with her. Whereas Matt and myself were conditioned (#olds) to consume our music through physical media, Bennett is part of newer generations of listeners who employ their device(s) of choice to stream music: for discovery, ease, and convenience alike. Without the dominant influence of traditional terrestrial radio, how do we discover new bands + new music without having to spend inordinate amounts of time doing so? From there, Bennett takes us on a walk of her own music journey, including touching on admiration of present day artists like Taylor Swift, country music, and how she finds new music through streaming services while still building a record collection uniquely her own. We close with some light, fun, and curiosity-driven questions in the lightning round. Thanks for tuning in and your continued support of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Concert Buddie | Mind of The Record Collector: Scott Wilson (The Pressing Matters)

Thanks for dropping in again, Buddies! Concert Buddie here with another terrific 'sode of Vinyl Community Podcasts! I'm joined for this conversation with a fellow record collector in the Vinyl Community: Scott Wilson, host of the YouTube Channel "The Pressing Matters". Scott has done a great job of creating videos on a myriad of topics, most centered around his pursuit of great sounding records (simple enough, right?). This conversation will walk through Scott's origins with YouTube, and provide background into where his vinyl collecting journey has taken him over the years. With topics on a variety of genres, Scott's channel hones in on great sounding reissue releases, specifically of the audiophile variety. Why does Scott prefer these versions compared to originals? Does Scott consider himself an Audiophile (and what does that even mean these days)? Has he recovered from MoFi-Gate? Answers to these questions (and more), and a nice "rapid fire" round to wrap up this fun chat, are just a click away. Welcome in...to another 'sode of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Surface Noise | Interim Host + Musician Talk

Ever wake up hungover, Buddies? This episode of Surface Noise is kind of like that. Guest host Louie Golden is joined by regulars Arnaldo (Fidelios_Frequency), Jose Moreno Rahn, and Jason Roxas to answer a simple question: do record collectors feel any guilt by not listen to their growing collections on a regular basis? The answers may surprise you. Later, with 75% of the dais comprised of musicians, the topic of musician shaming (tastes, other musicians skill levels, etc) is brought up. Special thanks to Louie for pinch-hitting on this show, and for citing Jose for numerous red flags for showing too many records in one sitting.

Vinyl Community Guncles | Listening Methods

The Vinyl Community Guncles (Robert, Richard, Craig, and Mike) have returned to the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts! This episode finds them sharing their preferred listening methods of listening to music (and why). Are some albums ones listened to once, only to sit on a shelf? Multiple listens in the same session? Dedicated listening rooms to only focus on listening to the music? What about people that buy records and don't open them purely to collect them? Or the patented collectors who buy one to listen to and another to keep sealed? The guys touch on all these distinct approaches to collecting + listening today in the hobby and more! Now sit back and have some fun courtesy of our friends the Vinyl Community Guncles!

Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion | Diary of a Beatlemaniac

Welcome aboard! Host David Bianco from Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion brings a splendid conversation to the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts speaking with Patricia Gallo-Stenman, author of the award-winning book "Diary of a Beatlemaniac".

Pattie was a teenager when The Beatles swept in the British Invasion into America in 1964. Her immersion into all things Beatles and her desire to capture it all in her personal diary has now been opened for our reading (and listening) pleasure.

We'll delve into the beginnings of her own relationship with the Fab Four, including sharing insights into her own record collection. What's it like to attend a "Beatlefest"? More importantly, who exactly are "The Beatle Babes"? Answers to these questions and more as we skip down memory lane to (briefly) return to a time hard to imagine unless you lived it yourself. Let's ride!
