Surface Noise | Bonus Trax: Merch Madness - Music’s Greatest Merch Machines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This round of BONUS TRAX starts with a bang as a couple of hot takes from the end of Surface Noise threaten to unravel the panel at the seams. Then we build the Band/Artist Merch Mount Rushmore. From endless reissues, remasters and deluxe box sets to T-shirts, toys, collectibles, coffee, liquor, sneakers, action figures, cruises—and just about anything else you can slap a logo on—which artists have turned their music, image and intellectual property into full-blown merchandising machines? But th
Surface Noise | The Seven Deadly Sins of Record Collecting...Plus, What is the New Goodwill Record Store Really Like? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Record collecting has its temptations—and this week on Surface Noise, we’re confessing ours. We kick things off with the latest vinyl news and Current Events, including a hard look at the latest Maggot Brain reissue. Do collectors really need another copy, or is this exactly the kind of release that leads us directly into our main topic?

The panel looks at skyrocketing

Read excerpt
Is there such a thing as a Record Collector Mid Life Crisis? This week on Surface Noise our special guest Amanda Schutzman helps us discuss whether longtime vinyl collectors eventually reach a point where the hobby fundamentally changes—from chasing more records to becoming far more selective about what deserves a place on the shelf. Other things such a "crisis" may make us ponder: When do you realize you might have too many records? Are you buying less vinyl than you were five years ago? We deb
Chasing Better Sound | HiFi Isolation: Does It Really Make a Difference? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are vibrations quietly sabotaging your turntable’s performance? On this episode of Chasing Better Sound, David and Louie dig into the science—and sometimes questionable audiophile mythology—behind turntable isolation, vibration control, and resonance. From footfalls and suspended floors to speakers, subwoofers, furniture, and the turntable itself, they explore how unwanted mechanical energy can make its way to the stylus and potentially affect what you hear. The conversation looks at the differe
