Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle

Monday May 12, 2025

Where bad jokes, bad takes, and bad records go to die, the FREESTYLE of the latest 'sode of SURFACE NOISE follows in that esteemed tradition; a tradition like no other.

The panel attempts a new segment on new releases called "Grip or Flip" where they discuss whether a title is worth the grip (keeping), or buying to level up on something else (flip). Be forewarned, the landing is rocky.

Then our brand of vinyl connosseurs show recent pickups, including some treasures picked from the bins of the Austin Record Convention.

It's what you know as the FREESTYLE, and it's coming in HOT, now!

Beer & Vinyl | What's the Matter, M Ross? Ohio, Music, and More with M Ross Perkins

Wednesday May 07, 2025

Back on the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts, Alex (Beer & Vinyl) shares a recent interview with musician/songwriter M Ross Perkins. M Ross Perkins is currently a featured artist on the Colemine Records label, and has a new album that dropped on May 2nd (interview recorded prior) entitled "What's The Matter, M Ross?"

Composed, performed, and recorded completely by Perkins in his Dayton, OH studio, What’s the Matter… is both the most stripped down and expansive within his tryptic of albums ("Wrong, Wrong, Wrong", "E Pluribus M Ross", and Now "What's The Matter...").

The headphone symphonies move with a deliberate, composed sophistication while the lyrics explore fresh territory, turning the camera away from the “butterscotch revue” and pointing it into a mirror. "The touchstones of psych pop remain: flourishes of Nilsson are still here, but so are Gram Parsons and Jonathan Richman. If you want to assign geography to What’s the Matter, M Ross?, the album is equal parts Laurel Canyon and Big Pink, more Woodstock the town than the festival. Perkins is a self-contained (late-period) Teenage Fanclub with George Harrison’s spiritual sense of inner wanderlust.

Want a free copy? Available to anyone in lower 48 states head over to the Beer & Vinyl YouTube channel (specific video link below) and comment with some kind of musical connection to the state of Ohio. Deadline to enter is May 16th, 2025. And don't forget to check out thew new album "What's the Matter, M Ross" at your local independent record store or direct from Colemine Records (link also below). Bottoms up! 🍻🍻

Monday May 05, 2025

Back at it, Buddies! Here for a quick 'sode to share what happened when I went to the spring Austin Record Convention over the weekend.

Many records were acquired, many meats and eats were consumed, and many memories were made. And no, I did not get to meet Raekwon or Jack White there (yes, that happened). BUT....I still had a good time and will share a brief recap here!

Before that, I share some quick news on SURFACE NOISE and what to expect in the short term.

Let's start the week off right, and right now, here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle

Monday Apr 28, 2025

Apologies to Britney, but ooops we did it again....we found another way to chime in with even MORE Record Store Day talk. 😬

On the latest FREESTYLE following SURFACE NOISE, we are discussing some of the fresh SoundScan data behind the sales to learn which titles/releases were the biggest of the RSD25 bunch.

Following the first segment moving through spreadsheet purgatory, we have a hearty conversation/game for the biggest record collector pet peeves - RANKED. Are corner dings "annoying AF"? Is dirty brand new vinyl simply the worst? Hear where our band ranks some of these more tiresome aspects of this hobby we enjoy, ONLY on the latest FREESTYLE from SURFACE NOISE!

Surface Noise | What are the Hardest Records to Collect?

Thursday Apr 24, 2025

Surface Noise is B-A-C-K!! Our panel of dedicated vinyl enthusiasts present another spin around the turntable, where in this week's podcast proper we'll discuss the hardest records to collect, find, or track down - does it vary by label, by artist, or genre? How much of a pursuit is TOO much of a pursuit (limits, people, limits). Everybody's got a price, but somebody's gotta pay (shoutout to the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase) 💵

Then we discuss what is the the best "closing" song to see in concert from a band or artist. Not just the "play the hits" crowd, but THE hit - the one that sends the crowd happy, the biggest hit, the song synonymous with the artist/band. THAT is a song to close a show with! 🤩

All that and so much MORE, only on SURFACE NOISE! 🗣️
