Love it or leave it, the series Mind of The Record (er, Music) Collector is back on the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts! This spin around the turntable features our guest Steve Herold, a lifelong collector of music in the physical form. His pursuit of music extends beyond our beloved vinyl - of late he's been feverishly pursuing compact discs for many of the same reasons we got back into vinyl 10-15 years ago. You'll hear about how his collection(s) started in earnest back in the day, the origins of his YouTube channel, touch on where are some of the best places to find cd's and vinyl present themselves during his work travels, and a few references to some Van Halen collectibles (of which he has a few).

While the Vinyl Community is all abuzz about the thrill, adventures, and treasures of the recent Record Store Day 2024 event, your host Rob from Northern Revolutions is joined by Joe from Racer Records to talk about used vinyl.  Rob and Joe chat about the "other side", the "less pretty" side of the record hobby and that being used vinyl.  The resurgence of the last 15 years has seen a massive deluge of new vinyl but the side benefit is that used vinyl is coming out of the woodwork.  Everyone has rare and expensive records (or so they think).  There are collections aplenty making their way into the used market.  Ebay and Discogs has made it so that there are no rare records anymore, only expensive ones.  Rob and Joe tackle these topics and more here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more on your host Rob (Northern Revolutions): https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernRevolutions   For more on guest "Racer Joe": https://www.youtube.com/@RacerRecords   For more on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com

Can you feel it? A seismic shift under our feet, Buddies! For the latest edition of Mind of The Record Collector, I'm joined by the Vinyl Geek himself - Eric Callero - from the popular YouTube channel Vinyl Rewind. Eric is no stranger to YouTube nor our obsession collecting our favorite music on vinyl (and other formats). Vinyl Rewind is a channel that touches on many fun and interesting points of not just our vinyl collection obsession, but deep dives into bands and albums we all love, interviews with artists and creators alike, and does it all with a great presentation style that keeps us coming back for more! Recently crossing the 253k subscriber plateau, and closing in on 500 videos to boot, Eric's channel influences many in the Vinyl Community across our various collecting journeys, and often shares information new to fans old and young alike. In this 'sode we cover what started Eric's journey on YouTube + making videos, trace his fondness for music on the physical format back many moons ago, and why all these years later how finding great music on vinyl is STILL tough to beat. It's a chat you don't want to miss, and can only find here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!    For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com   For more information on Eric Callero (Vinyl Rewind): https://www.youtube.com/@VinylRewind https://vinylrewind.tv   For more information on Vinyl Community Podasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com     . . . .

Fresh from the seat at the end of the bar, we'd like to welcome Alex (Beer & Vinyl) joining the airwaves of Vinyl Community Podcasts fresh off his recent sit down with the owner of of Plaid Room Records and Coleman Records of Loveland, Ohio - Terry Cole. Colemine is a label home to some of the best indie + soul music out today, featuring artists like Durand Jones, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio (DLO3), The Jive Turkeys, and Kendra Morris (to name a few), and home to others on sub-labels Karma Chief Records, Remined Records, etc. The conversation touches many points in the history of both the Colemine label and the Plaid Room Records shop itself.

Back in the building Buddies with another pod-exclusive presentation here on Vinyl Community Podcasts! Touching on a topic that's recently been in the news with Billie Eilish and her recent Billboard interview talking about the cash grab that persists with the overproduction of vinyl color and cover variants. Sure, there's a free market component to this topic, but she was also talking about the environmental effects that producing so many different vinyl variations is having from a sustainability perspective. Spurred in part by a recent Melinda Murphy video touching on it (link below), I give my thoughts on the topic, share some poor man's Mr. Science behind vinyl, and share some examples of albums & artists mayyyyybe not needing to make so many copies of their works (yes, Taylor Swift comes up).

The record keeps spinning, Buddies! Another brief pod-only show here on Vinyl Community Podcasts, this time joined by friend of the pod Jason (Spinz Vinyl) who recently took the plunge to selling records on the ecommerce platform Whatnot. If you are unfamiliar, Whatnot is an application/website that is hosted by individual sellers (sometimes including brick & mortar shop owners) selling their wares through the medium. It extends beyond vinyl records and includes sports cards, video games, clothing, shoes (and a ton more). Jason recently tried his hand at selling records in conjunction with his partnership with MION Records, and held two auctions right out of the gate. Here he shares he thoughts on the platform, why he is selling records there, how he chooses titles to sell there, and (most importantly) would he do it again (SPOILER: he is on March 30th at 12pm PST/3pm EST). Learn all about it here on this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts!   For more information on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie   For more information on Jason (Spinz Vinyl): https://www.youtube.com/@spinzvinyl?sub_confirmation=1   Direct link to his next auction on Whatnot (including a $15 credit for new buyers on the platform): https://whatnot.com/invite/spinz_vinyl   For more information on MION Records: https://mion.tokyo   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com

Aloha Buddies! With the recent announcement that subscription-based vinyl service BANDBOX was closing up shop amidst bankruptcy proceedings, it led me to consider what the vinyl subscription + service space looks like past, present, and future. Vinyl Me, Please is the lion in the vinyl-curation/subscription business, but there are several smaller businesses that are putting exclusive and distinct records in the hands of their customers through this business model, and adding their own unique "spin" (#dadjoke) to how they go about it. This pod will walk through that and also identify other potential threats to this distinct business model out in the greater vinyl landscape.
