Episode description

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. The late owner of Billy's Record Salon in Brooklyn was a friend to all, a terrific grate digger, and most importantly, an excellent human. 💔 Please read more about Billy in the pieces in show notes below.
