The BONUS TRAX are here to start your week off on some kind of foot. Following the latest 'sode of SURFACE NOISE, our panel of physical media maestros discussed if they've ever found a reissue definitively better than an original, what is the best Nick Drake album (cue that beautiful poll footage), and Grooveseeker is helping us wind down the show with his latest dance with VMP and owed compensation sprinkled in with other tidbits of vinyl goodness. 

Hear that? No, it's not a "seasoned audiophile" knocking at your door. It's your turntable missing you. When you aren't listening to these BONUS TRAX, might be a good time to play another record.

A super-sized portion of the show of record, talking records: SURFACE NOISE! Listen as our panel of dilligent do-gooders discuss the latest current events in the world of vinyl record collecting, debate adding an "in memoriam segment" as more musicians we love leave this celestial plane (🚨spoiler alert: another one bit the dust), our New Yorkers are fired up talking Metro Transit (aka “Metro Minute”) ahead of the upcoming WFMU record show, and finally the big tuna: which record stores have the best grail walls aka walls of wow in the country (USA). What stores are in YOUR list! 🫵🏻

All that and the worst jokes in the VeeCee. Call yo mama! 📞

This...is SURFACE NOISE.

David Bianco from the Safe & Sound Texas Audio Excursion YouTube channel returns to conclude his recent interview with the legendary mastering engineer Bernie Grundman. 

This portion of the sit-down delves on topics like problematic mastering sources (and how to work with them), the value of music diversity, the colliding worlds of digital and analog, and wraps up with some final thoughts from Bernie himself.

We want to thank you for the kind words and feedback on part one of this interview, and for taking this latest Audio Excursion. Stay tuned for more from David in the form of additional interviews as part of his "Vinyl Legends" series!

Putting the 'X' in eXtra, this latest BONUS TRAX following the pod-proper edition of SURFACE NOISE is one for the books! The dais discusses some disagreement in the Vinyl Community over the recent Because Sound Matters edition of Prince's classic "Purple Rain", and how important it can be to disagree with kindness. And we learn a new term for our vinyl thesaurus: "seasoned audiophile". 

The guys put some attention on some deals and steals and ask the question: is it officially markdown season?

The show closes with some cd buy-up strategy talk and a pointed discussion on whether regular sellers at record shows should be charging the same prices as brick and mortar record stores. 

Is Discogs the villain in all this? Possibly. Find out only after listening to this latest drop of BONUS TRAX!

Grab a bag of popcorn and your beverage of choice, because the latest episode of SURFACE NOISE discusses vinyl records in film - movies that featured vinyl, focused on vinyl, or where records were a significant element of the presentation. Fiction, documentary, the real star of the show is the music coming off that sweet, sweet wax, and we are talking about it!

First we touch on current events in the record collecting world and music, including breaking news on the loss of KISS founding member and rock guitar legend Ace Frehley. Rest in Power, Space Ace. ☄️🎸

This is the show of record, talking records. This...is SURFACE NOISE

Fresh off another Audio Excusion out west, David Bianco is back to share some of his new interviews as part of his "Vinyl Legends Series"! From David:

"One of my dreams has been to travel to where the music is made and the magic happens. My recent trip to the Los Angeles area provided me the opportunity to meet some of the greats in the music and record producing industry. And none was bigger than the venerable Bernie Grundman who graciously spent an afternoon with me to discuss his history and show me a true full-fledged mastering operation".

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation with Bernie. More interviews are on the way with the "Vinyl Legends Series". Stay tuned to Vinyl Community Podcasts for more!

The hits and misses keep coming on SURFACE NOISE: BONUS TRAX where the panel discusses where they find the "vinyl inspiration" to discover new music through collecting records. This can be a simple as collecting any release connected to a beloved artist or band to round out a complete discography, to deep diving producers, musicians, or other connective tissue from a favorite release, or simply discovering new genres, artists, or works from a song, a story, or a video that keeps the road to discovery fun and fruitful with new knowledge exploration to explore.

Along those lines, The Grooveseeker shares a new band - the only two deejays in Italy, apparently - called Mind Enterprises, followed by Concert Buddie sharing a recent guilty pleasure along those lines (Dabeull). Sprinkle in some trusty VMP detective work and a tribute to the somewhat legendary Jennifer Love Hewitt and this program calls it a night.

Got records? We do. And these BONUS TRAX keep them spinning!

Following the latest SURFACE NOISE episode, our BONUS TRAX segment featured a question many record collectors face at some point: am I ready to move off my collection? Friend of the show MrHoffame (Brandon), one of the OG's of the Vinyl Community on YouTube is at that very crossroads. The panel digs deep into where this sentiment came from with Brandon, where he's at in his process and approach, and does that mean he's getting out - completely?

Plus, Arnaldo's HOT streak continues as he finds another OG that is sure to get people talking.

Settle in for a very special BONUS TRAX. You'll be glad you did.
