Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: Did I Really Buy That, Power Outages, and The Bong Takeover

This BONUS TRAX episode sets the hobby back decades (not really). We kick off the extra session with a little collector honesty in “Did I Really Buy That?”—a segment where we confess to the vinyl purchases we probably didn’t need… but bought anyway. Impulse buys, questionable upgrades, strange finds, and those records that somehow made it into the collection. No regrets… well, maybe a few. A brief detour to some talk about liquid-filled vinyl and should they be slabbed serves as an ominous interlude before an unexpected power outage drives the dais into rapid fire music talk mode by showing as many records as they can while the power resumes at the Concert Buddie compound. Sprinkle some music-inspired literary and cinematic takes, and we land this BONUS TRAX plane right before it implodes.  If you’re passionate about vinyl records, record collecting, Discogs, crate digging, and the culture surrounding physical media, this episode of SURFACE NOISE delivers the lively discussion and collector perspectives the Vinyl Community loves.   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency):  https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency IG: @fidelios_frequency   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.youtube.com/@Groove_Seeker IG: @thegrooveseeker   For more on the immortal Jose Moreno Rahn (aka John Bong): https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more on returning guest Jeff Paris (Vinyl Record Info): https://www.youtube.com/@vinylrecordinfo   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com . . . . .   Don't forget to visit FOTS (friends of the show) Vinyl Storage Solutions for the BEST sleeves to protect your best records (and your worst).
