Welcome back to Seam Split City! Taste is relative, but cold is cold. And nothing is more cold than Stone Cold (right Jim Ross?). Our panel of devoted vinylists will share what they feel are essential characteristics of a "Stone Cold Classic", plus share some examples from their collections. From there we take a cue from the "Wolf of Wall Street Himself", Jordan Belfort, with a segment called "Sell Me This Record". Would you buy these after these impassioned pitches? Maybe not. All this and MORE on SURFACE NOISE. There's only one.     ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on Arnaldo (Fidelios_Frequency): https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker   For more on Jose Moreno Rahn: https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

So much left to talk about, this FREESTYLE from the latest SURFACE NOISE keeps the record spinning! We check in with the returning Arnaldo for his hottest of takes on the latest UHQR announcement before discussing the underwhelming announcement of the latest Mobile Fidelity One Step release (for pre-order) of Stevie Nicks' "Bella Donna". Are certain titles becoming "doorknob" fodder: every reissue label is taking a turn? Plus, the dais discusses young people fueling the return of cds and how not all cds are created equal. Like vinyl, different country releases often are mastered differently. Special guest Depeche Commode (Chris) fills us in, and talks Depeche Mode's "Violator" - here, only on the latest FREESTYLE courtesy of SURFACE NOISE!

Does anyone use a paper map anymore? Not the kind in your smart phone, but a legit paper map? For the latest and not so greatest episode of SURFACE NOISE, our vinyl paleontologists are here to discuss how collecting records makes one a more informed music fan; rather, how listening to one album, one song, one artist/band can spur us to dig deeper, to learn and expand the knowledge further from the various branches that entails. All in the pursuit of music enjoyment...or trying to. Plus David Bianco returns to share news from the front lines after visiting a couple emerging pressing plants in North Carolina with new technology as part of their offerings - it's some pretty awesome advancements you don't want to miss! All this with the help of friend of the show, and owner of the best name in the VC proper, Depeche Commode (Chris) making his debut appearance on the dais, we have a show for the ages on deck.    This, is SURFACE NOISE.   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on 1st Timer Chris (Depeche Commode): https://www.youtube.com/@Depeche_Commode   For more on David Bianco (Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion): https://www.youtube.com/@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion   For more on Arnaldo (Fidelios_Frequency): https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

For the latest bonus disc of SURFACE NOISE, this FREESTYLE touches on news of the next two UHQR's from Acoustic Sounds: "Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section" and "Way Out West" from the legendary Sonny Rollins. Does our panel feel these are more great choices, or more of the same from this series? ACould there be market fatigue with some of these curation choices being repeated over and over, across reissue campaigns? nd where are the Bob Marley UHQR's? One inquiring mind not in attendance definitely wants to know! Following that discussion, we bring it home talking about the best names in music - artists or bands with names so good, they might even be better than the actual music they made.  It's the record talk you didn't know you needed, until you didn't have it - it's the latest FREESTYLE courtesy of SURFACE NOISE!   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on guest Jefferson (Tubelandia): https://www.youtube.com/@JeffersonDD   For more on guest Alex (Beer & Vinyl): https://www.youtube.com/@beerandvinyl   For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker   For more on Jose Moreno Rahn: https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com   . . . . .

The Vinyl Community livestream that you love to not love, SURFACE NOISE is back hitting all the dinged corners of the record collecting hobby. This latest show touches on the differences (if any) of a "rare" record versus a "collectible" record. When does chasing down something uncommon focus more on the artifact than the article? We also take a swing at the CRAZY prices of records that not too long ago were affordable with a segment titled "That Record is HOW MUCH now?"

Step behind the velvet ropes and welcome to the VC Social Club: an intimate gathering of vinyl record collectors discussing vinyl and music topics of the day (smoking jacket is optional). The regular panel consists of host Jason Roxas, Chris (The Grooveseeker), Dom (Seekingathread), and Joel (Static ATX Records). This particular conversation kicks off discussing personal listening habits - how/where/when we listen to the music we have on vinyl - before the immortal John Bong joins the proceedings (16:04)  Soon followed by another guest (Concert Buddie) (37:00) fresh off covering the looming Buckingham/Nicks reissue onslaught, the conversation dovetails into a deep dive into fast food chains and their old record labels. Did you know that KFC made records AND original extra crispy chicken? Or Cracker Barrel serves LP's and meatloaf and dumplings? It's true, it's true, it's cholesterol frenzy true.  The conversation moves to a brief study on Julie Andrews, and whether she was secretly a member of the Jugalos, before attempting to get back to the last topic of the show - artists that no longer matter. Some of the names and bands will shock you (or shake your fist to the sky).  Welcome to the VC Social Club. Have a seat, drinks will be served soon. 🍸🍷   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on host Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.instagram.com/thegrooveseeker   For more on Dom (Seekingathread): https://www.youtube.com/@seekingathread   For more on Joel (Static ATX Records) https://www.youtube.com/@staticatx https://staticatx.com   For more on Jose Moreno Rahn (aka John Bong): https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more on Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com    

Back in the building buddies! Still talking records, but this conversation adds a little flavor thanks to a Canadian neighbor 🇨🇦. On this 'sode I'm speaking to SeeJayAre (Charlie), longtime YouTuber and lifelong music fan. If you are familiar with his channel, Charlie has amassed a loyal following of video game hunters, garage sale enthusiasts, and op culture collectors alike, now approaching close to aspirational 100k subscriber mark (just a hair under 93k as of this episode). He had built one of the greatest retro game and physical media spaces through nothing more than dedication and hustle, hitting garage sales regularly over a decade. After a hiatus from YouTube following some life changes, he's back at it as he begins anew, both with his content and his game collection. The conversation gets to learn more about his own journey with music, from the early days of sharing rock music with his dad, discovering a passion for 90's hip-hop as he was growing up, to building his own vinyl record collection in the same fashion as his gaming one. Like one collector to another, we share a similar path in how we build collections of what we enjoy, both for the thrill of the find and a callback to what we've enjoyed for over a lifetime. Charlie generously shares his tips for garage sale success, and a couple of stories of the days (and early mornings) hitting the back roads and subdivision pavement in search of treasures from yesteryear.  We wrap the conversation with another fun lighting round of questions that find Charlie and Concert Buddie both trying to resurrect Tom Green's old hip-hop band (look it up, it happened).  It's the latest and greatest collecting talk known to mankind, only on Vinyl Community Podcasts! 👾   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on guest Charlie (SeeJayAre):' YT: https://www.youtube.com/@SeeJayAre IG: @seejayare   For more on Concert Buddie: YT: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie Website: https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com         . . . . .

The name is in the title: FREESTYLE. In other words, you get what you pay for 🤑 For this particular extra stanza following the latest SURFACE NOISE, we workshop a new segment called "It Came...From the Hoffman Forums" where our dais comments on questions posed from one of the longest running message boards in the Vinyl Community. Then a fight almost breaks about between the peanut gallery and John Bong as Top Gun (yes, that one) is under seige as a standard of modern film. Who knew it could be just as dividing as it is uniting? We close sharing some of our recent finds, including our guest Jeff (Vinyl Record Info) flexing on a couple of wild psych grails he picked up online, including a trade on Instagram (trades are real, people).

Legend. Icon. G.O.A.T. 👑 These terms are brandied about very freely in today's culture, but does everyone deserve it when this accolade comes their way? What exactly warrants "Legend" status? What makes an "Icon"? Not everyone can be the "G.O.A.T", can they? On the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE, our panel opens up the lid on this topic, first explaining what they feel constitutes such hefty titles. After setting the table, they open up the bag to share their own picks for these lofty labels of immortality. Will your musical inspirations make the cut? Who do you need to make sure to see before they exit the stage for the final time?

For this latest trip around the turntable, Sam St. John (aka Americana Sam) had the great fortune of sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and PLATINUM selling artist Tommy James.  In this chat, they discuss his long historic career with Tommy James and the Shondells and iconic hits like "Mony, Mony", "Crimson and Clover", and "I Think We're Alone Now"; songs that have been covered from other legendary artists ranging from Billy Idol, Prince, Dolly Parton, and even Tiffany.

Roll over Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky that SURFACE NOISE has a FREESTYLE to share with the masses! For this separate stanza, our crew of dedicated sound merchants is still joined by Adam Tiro from The Freight to discuss "Vinyl Myths" - notions (preconceived or other) we have held about record collecting and the hobby in general that have yet to bear the fruit we expected. 🍒The immortal John Bong arrives just in time to share his love of the Boston Red Sox and sex toys at Spencer’s Gifts before the panel laments about the ghosts of vinyl past at Newbury Comics. 💦 We close the show with a talk about the passing of a Vinyl Community friend, Billy Jones.
