Buddies, Record Collectors, lend me your ears! For this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts we resume my series "Mind of The Record Collector" which asks what we collect, why we collect it, and how we find it. Our guest today aims to touch all three tenets, and that is Josh Norrid - CEO/Owner of Hi-Fidelity Records in Tulsa, OK. Josh has a story familiar to many in the Vinyl Community: how a passion for this format and the music that comes from it lead him to work at record stores, for record companies, and eventually to open and operate his own business selling the best of the best Audiophile and high-end records available in the market today. Josh cut his teeth as a buyer at Josey Records, then learned directly from the pulpit (literally) of Chad Kassem's Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions operations in Salina, KS, before finally taking the leap in founding his own online business. Josh shares his personal journey as a collector along that road and shares his thoughts on the hobby today, how he sources his inventory, and even shares how he's added 21st century social marketing techniques to put the best pieces in the hands of the best collectors anywhere. Josh has a burgeoning presence on social media, including his own YouTube channel sharing information, tips, and details he's honed in his 20 years plus in the business. We know you'll enjoy this latest "Mind of The Record Collector" as much as we did!

All that and a couple other friendly faces jump into the mix in this latest SURFACE NOISE FREESTYLE!

The part of SURFACE NOISE that never fails to go off the rails, we present the latest FREESTYLE for your listening pleasure (or discomfort). Our panelists share some recent #fails in their collecting journeys, with tales of woe like replacement copies of the recent Rhino High Fidelity Black Sabbath release, and then the group engages in the old "great album, bad cover art" discussion as newcomers Dawson (Rampage Video) and Wyoming Dave step into the pit. You've been warned...

Dive into the world of Acoustic Sounds' UHQR with us in this episode of SURFACE NOISE! We explore the quality of UHQR pressings, featuring the most current releases from the smooth jazz of Bill Evans to the polished rock of Steely Dan. Did some titles easily achieve "A"-list status? Did others not make the grade at that price point? What titles would our panelists wish AS would tackle next? These questions (and more) answered with this episode of SURFACE NOISE: B-Side!

Aloha Buddies! Back at the control deck here on Vinyl Community Podcasts to talk about a topic on my mind lately: why is there gatekeeping in this Vinyl Community of ours? For this convo I'm joined by Friend of the Show (FOS) Matt from the YouTube channel Vinyl Reckoning as we explore the whats and whys as to how record collecting is a hobby often prone to tactics, commentaries, and attitudes that can not be as inviting or inclusive as we'd hope it can be. Is this a generational thing? Does every hobby seem to have so-called "gatekeeping" to new entries young and old? Or is it just a bi-product of our internet culture run amok? We also extend the conversation to whether or not this attitude by the few affects the many in the form of gaslighting people who are simply wanting to share their vinyl journey with others online; be it on YouTube, forum boards, or social media platforms. Personally I've seen it push people out of the community (a real shame), and been on the receiving end of it from a small handful of people myself. A piece too hot for the local news, sit back and give your ears a taste of the latest 'sode here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

For his first contribution to Vinyl Community Podcasts, Sam St. John presents an interview he conducted with Chris "Gringo Starr" Sprague, drummer of Los Straitjackets, the long time touring band of artist Nick Lowe. We discuss Chris' own background in music, playing with Nick and the Straitjackets respectively, as well as the road to the new album "Indoor Safari," the first Nick Lowe album in over a decade - out September 13 on YepRoc records. Now in year 30(!) of the band, hear all about that and how the Straitjackets set a record for most band appearances on Conan O'Brien back in the day. That and MORE here on the latest episode of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

After the big lights dim, the Surface Noise crew goes right into the patented FREESTYLE portion of the proceedings. The guys welcome newcomer Dawson to the dais and touch on Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, why Jose has a strong distaste for anything Foo Fighters, a small recap of the "King of Royalty: Dethroned?" convo from earlier in the podcast, what constitutes an "80's band", and finally Jason Roxas has enough and drops off from disgust (maybe). All that and MORE here on the latest SURFACE NOISE: FREESTYLE!
