Surface Noise | Waiting is the Hardest Part

Thursday Sep 25, 2025

For this latest trip around the turntable, our band of dedicated record collectors discuss waiting (and waiting...and waiting) for pre-orders to ship - why the delays, why do stores and retail get their copies before direct-to-consumer and fan store buys, and is there anything we can do about it?

We also discuss the recent Tone Poet release of a Frank Sinatra record ("In the Wee Small Hours") and what that could mean for the reissue wars and what is left for them to put out to market.

Plus current events and questionable music takes that will make the wallpaper peel.

Only on SURFACE NOISE.

Get some.

Surface Noise | Bonus Trax

Monday Sep 22, 2025

🚨 Re-brand alert! 🚨

Formerly known as the FREESTYLE following SURFACE NOISE, we've made a few tweaks to the presentation so this segment will feature free banter and some structured topics on occasion.

This time, we hit on several notes including: the Monterrey meetup of John Bong and Jason Roxas, will Discogs ever get a direct competitor (ReverbLP RIP), and the shoes the Heaven's Gate cult wore and why they are wicked expensive (yes, we went there)....

The price is nice. 💰

Roll up it twice. 2️⃣

These are BONUS TRAX courtesy of the show of record talkin' records, SURFACE NOISE. Get some. 📗

Surface Noise | How Far Would You Go For Vinyl Records?

Thursday Sep 18, 2025

How far is TOO far to go for records? No, no, we are not talking about putting sugar in your competition's gas tank. Our dais of dedicated vinylists discuss just how far they would travel to seek out new (to them) records. But first, they dive into current events in the world of record collecting including news of another UHQR release, a Bob Dylan box set announcement, a Neil Young box set announcement, a coveted Spacehog album gets a reissue, and The Beatles (we couldn't do a show without them) dropped Anthology 4 as a stand-alone release.

All that and much, much more.

Often imitated, never duplicated. This....is Surface Noise.

Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle

Monday Sep 15, 2025

Working off the rust, our vinyl enthusiasts have much, much more to work out during the FREESTYLE following the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE.

Interscope jumps into the One-Step game with a reissue of Dr. Dre's classic album "The Chronic". Will a Chris Bellman mastering job finally unlock the audiophilia of this masterpiece? Or is this the latest cash grab in this competitive vinyl space?

The panel also discusses bands/artists that have never had an authorized live album. A shorter list than you would think, and the list is full of surprises. Unwrap the answers, only on the latest FREESTYLE!

Did you miss us? Maybe. Likely. Not everyone.

Jump back IN to the latest in vinyl talk that isn't for the faint of heart. This episode of SURFACE NOISE asks our rogue gallery of record collectors why we collect, what we collect. Plus we share our experiences seeing the reunited Oasis as they hit North America on the "Live '25" tour.

Concert Buddie | Mind of the Record Collector: Cosmic Brian

Wednesday Aug 27, 2025

Our latest episode comes to you from the Cosmic Realm: an alternate dimension from a different time and place. There are no Klingons, no Kree, no Skrulls, no Chitauri here. Instead, we have a great guest from this other worldly sphere - Cosmic Brian - on this latest episode of "Mind of the Record Collector".

Ever since making his first Vinyl Community-inspired YouTube video back in 2019, Brian has been a force for good vibes and good music in the Vinyl Community. When he's not cratedigging for more tunes, he'll be talking on his Cosmic Vinyl channel about his collection ranging from psych, to fuzz rock, to just about every genre there is. Like other collectors, the Cosmic One has other interests and things he collects including his other passion, comic books.

Elsewhere in the 'sode Brian shares his own record collecting journey from the start to present day, why he's a big fan of the local St. Louis record scene, and what band he would reunite for one gig only.

Set your phaser on FUN and listen in on the latest "Mind of the Record Collector" here on Vinyl Community Podcasts! 👽
