  Surface Noise | Battle Lines Drawn: A.I. Versus Vinyl Records

  Aug 20, 20261h 4m

  This week on Surface Noise — the show of record, talking records - we dig into where vinyl has been, where it’s headed, and whether artificial intelligence could become the next unlikely chapter in record collecting. We kick things off with Current Events from the Vinyl Community, including the reported end of Columbia House — RIP to the legendary mail-order music club…or maybe not? We look at what’s actually happening with the iconic name and why Columbia House still carries so much nostalgia for generations of music fans. Plus, Vinylphyle announces new audiophile vinyl releases from The Allman Brothers Band, Frank Sinatra, and GZA, and VinylCon heads to Los Angeles this weekend. Then we tackle a topic that could become increasingly important for collectors: AI TO VINYL. With platforms like Suno making it possible for almost anyone to generate original music using artificial intelligence, what happens when that music makes the jump from a digital file to a physical vinyl record? Inspired by Louie V of Vinyl Latte's recent opinion piece, we discuss what AI-generated music could mean for musicians, collectors, record labels, pressing plants, and the very idea of what makes a record worth owning. Does putting AI music on vinyl somehow legitimize it? Does it matter who — or what — actually created the music? Could AI-generated records eventually become collectible? And in a hobby built around authenticity, history, artists, and the human connection to music, does AI change what a vinyl record means? It's another collector-driven conversation about vinyl records, record collecting, audiophilia and MORE! This. Is.

  Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: The Most Stubborn Record(s) to Find

  Aug 17, 202644 min

  Surface Noise had a lot of flavor this week, but these Bonus Trax are sure to put the last spicy touch on the vinyl meatball of this messy, messy episode on Vinyl Community Podcasts! Next up: The Most Stubborn Record to Find. Every collector has one. Maybe you've never seen it in the wild. Maybe you can find the album, but never the right pressing. Perhaps every copy is trashed, the price is ridiculous, or that one specific variant continues to escape you. We reveal the records that have stubbornly remained on our wantlists despite years of digging. Plus, we reminisce once again about a ghost of our record collecting journeys' past and whether they would still be in existence with all the labels going direct to consumer (Vinylphyle, Rhino Hi-Fidelity, Capitol Music Club, Interscope Vinyl Collective, etc). Cherry on top? We walk through some vinyl-inspired tchotchkes that may or may not be in our stockings come this holiday season (might want to go to the YouTube version to see these "creative" pieces of merch).

  Surface Noise | Wax, Tracks, and Big Record Stacks

  Aug 13, 20261h 16m

  This week on Surface Noise, we’re digging into vinyl collecting news, the records collectors are supposedly required to own, and a bonafide Beatles bomb goes off! We kick things off with Current Events and some of the latest stories affecting the music and vinyl community. What could the Veeps layoffs mean for outlets like Goldmine, BrooklynVegan, and other music journalists? Plus, with National Vinyl Record Day upon us, who actually came up with it—and how did August 12 become a day devoted to celebrating vinyl records? And a 25th anniversary reissue that nobody was opening asking for (dare we say "swamp juice"). Then we're challenging one of the unwritten rules of record collecting: Records We're Supposed to Own...But Don't. Every hobby has albums, pressings, audiophile releases, box sets, grails, and even entire artists that seemingly everyone is expected to chase. But what happens when you simply don't care? From famous pressings and audiophile staples to universally praised albums we have absolutely zero interest in owning, we're admitting the records missing from our collections—and why they're probably staying that way. Unpredictably the conversation segues into a deeper discussion involving the Beatles, Nirvana, and a music debate not to be missed. (Or should it be?) You decide! This. Is.

  Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: Rescued Travel Vinyl + New Websites & Apps to Locate Records

  Aug 10, 20261 hour

  As SURFACE NOISE moved into the BONUS TRAX segment, we return back from the border to hear about recent travels and record store exploration in new places from a couple members of the dais, and the records they rescued along the way. From there the discussion turns to a couple new areas that may be helpful in tracking down the black wax gold we need to scratch that record collecting itch. Are these websites + apps valuable resources in tracking down hard to find records, or just the latest attempts to claw a little bit of the throne from Discogs?

  Surface Noise | The Hunt for Great Vinyl Records Never Ends!

  Aug 6, 20261 hour

  Get ready for another episode of Surface Noise: The Show of Record, Talking Records as we dive into the latest happenings in the world of vinyl collecting, record releases, and industry news! For the latest current events, the panel talks about a Rhino Reserve recall situation, the latest Vinylphyle release news underwhelming us, and a QUICK discussion on the Beatles/Rubber Soul box set announcement. Next we head north of the border for an in-depth conversation about what it's really like buying and selling vinyl in Canada from new friend of the show Nick, owner of the record store Resurrected Records, in Saskatchewan. Nick shares his origin story in starting a record store and all the things he's learned doing it close to two years strong (and at 25 years old, to boot!). We also touch on some irritable topics for our fellow vinylists up north including shipping costs and import fees to availability, local record stores, online marketplaces, and the unique challenges Canadian collectors face, as we compare experiences across borders and discuss how geography can shape the collecting journey. If you're passionate about vinyl records, record collecting, Discogs, rare LPs, vinyl community discussions, record stores, audiophile releases, music collecting, and the ever-changing vinyl marketplace, you've found your vinyl resting place.
