What Happened to Bands? Sound Matters 2026-09-03 | In this video, we explore what happened to bands in mainstream music — from festival lineups once dominated by guitar groups and alternative acts, to today’s world of solo artists, collaborations, streaming, social media and changing industry economics. Rather than simply dismissing modern music, we look at why bands appear to have moved away from the centre of popular culture, how the digital disruption of the late ’90s and early 2000s changed the industry, and whether we’ve lost something important in the process.CLIP SOURCE: Billy Corgan The Magnificent Others: youtu.be/laaofgUMsBs?si=YfVcYHAKJDNZAVbT&t=3715CLIP SOURCE 2: Rick Beato:youtu.be/h_DjmtR0Xls?si=kHlJMhbM4eDketUsSOURCE 3: Noel Gallagher on Absolute Radio via High Flying Prints: youtu.be/R_IQa0k1tiw?si=toRYDqnENn0q0ev4Industry studies:skoove.com/blog/decline-of-bands-ukbridgeratings.com/blog/2025/2/8/are-bands-becoming-obsolete-in-the-era-of-spotify-and-individual-stardomhttps://www.datawrapper.de/blog/bands-solo-artists-music-charts____________________________________________Join Patreon: (Paid members automatically enter into my quarterly record draw with vinyl.com)patreon.com/soundmatters____________________________________________Partner/Sponsor Discounts:_________________________________________________________________GrooveWasher (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)groovewasher.comTwelve Inch (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)twelve-inch.comVinyl Storage Solutions (VSS) sleeves: (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):vinylstoragesolutions.ca/soundmattersvinyl.com (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS10) - Over 60,000 records! vinyl.com/?aff=94Fosi Audio Gear (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS15 for 15% OFF):fosiaudioshop.com/soundmattersSoundeck Dampening Products (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):soundeck.bigcartel.comVinyl Pursuit - Ultrasonic Cleaned Vintage Vinyl: (Use Code VPSOUND12 for $12 OFF AND Grab a FREE Album from their extensive bargain bin selection for Orders $75+ CAD):vinylpursuit.com#VinylCommunity #VinylRecord #recordcollector #audiophile #music #vinylrevival #HiFi #music #vinylrevival

CDs Were Weirder Than You Remember... Sound Matters 2026-08-13 | CDs often get talked about as the convenient, practical physical format — cheaper than vinyl, easy to play, easy to store, and simple to skip around.But CDs also had their own strange little quirks.In this video, I’m looking at some of the things I still love about CDs: hidden tracks at the end of albums, secret pregap audio or “Track 0”, CD-ROM multimedia extras, bonus discs, CD singles, import editions, hidden booklets, and the little collector details that made the format more interesting than people sometimes remember.____________________________________________Join Patreon: (Paid members automatically enter into my quarterly record draw with vinyl.com)patreon.com/soundmatters____________________________________________Partner/Sponsor Discounts:_________________________________________________________________GrooveWasher (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)groovewasher.comTwelve Inch (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)twelve-inch.comVinyl Storage Solutions (VSS) sleeves: (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):vinylstoragesolutions.ca/soundmattersvinyl.com (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS10) - Over 60,000 records! vinyl.com/?aff=94Fosi Audio Gear (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS15 for 15% OFF):fosiaudioshop.com/soundmattersSoundeck Dampening Products (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):soundeck.bigcartel.comVinyl Pursuit - Ultrasonic Cleaned Vintage Vinyl: (Use Code VPSOUND12 for $12 OFF AND Grab a FREE Album from their extensive bargain bin selection for Orders $75+ CAD):vinylpursuit.com#VinylCommunity #VinylRecord #recordcollector #audiophile #music #vinylrevival #HiFi #music #vinylrevival
Can I Fix This Damaged Beatles Record Sleeve? Sound Matters 2026-08-06 | Double sided tape: amzn.to/4qjQiJPSeamzeazy Record Strips: amzn.to/4weubps(Affiliate Links)I recently picked up an original mono copy of Revolver by The Beatles. The record itself was in great condition, but the sleeve had some water damage in one corner — so I wondered: could I improve it?In this video, I try a slightly unusual experiment using the M2 vinyl flattener to see whether gentle heat and pressure can help flatten a damaged record sleeve.It’s not a miracle fix. But it did lead me into a wider look at record jacket restoration, including what you can realistically do about warped sleeves, water damage, old price stickers, sticky residue, seam splits, and general sleeve preservation.Partner/Sponsor Discounts:_________________________________________________________________GrooveWasher (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)groovewasher.comTwelve Inch (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)twelve-inch.comVinyl Storage Solutions (VSS) sleeves: (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):vinylstoragesolutions.ca/soundmattersvinyl.com (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS10) - Over 60,000 records! vinyl.com/?aff=94Fosi Audio Gear (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS15 for 15% OFF):fosiaudioshop.com/soundmattersSoundeck Dampening Products (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):soundeck.bigcartel.comVinyl Pursuit - Ultrasonic Cleaned Vintage Vinyl: (Use Code VPSOUND12 for $12 OFF AND Grab a FREE Album from their extensive bargain bin selection for Orders $75+ CAD):vinylpursuit.com#VinylCommunity #VinylRecord #recordcollector #audiophile #music #vinylrevival #HiFi #music #vinylrevival

Why Some Vinyl Records NEVER Stop Playing Sound Matters 2026-07-16 | Records that go on forever? Standard records have a locked groove at the end of each side, usually in the form of a silent loop that keeps the stylus from drifting onto the label. It is possible to incorporate sound into this extra space, and many artists and engineers have used the technique over the years to create infinite loops. Locked grooves are a perfect example of how the vinyl format is more than just a medium for storing music; making records is an art form in its own right—a white canvas for creative expression.____________________________________________Locked Groove Examples from YouTube:Sgt Peppers: youtu.be/R3ucTtaRoXQ?si=biNywNToIpIHMTD2More Sgt Peppers: youtu.be/K-z18SN_sw8?si=hB8fOiso1qAWIsi1Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother: youtu.be/_69j8kbuKbg?si=1NFZpPZ5nyL3TYtqThe Mars Volta: youtu.be/uiYR35fuQDM?si=UAiYOoFGoYFC5bqyRush Fly By Night: youtu.be/KpMRjz6bUc4?si=y6zlrtt_P5_MH8NDPartner/Sponsor Discounts:_________________________________________________________________GrooveWasher (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)groovewasher.comTwelve Inch (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)twelve-inch.comVinyl Storage Solutions (VSS) sleeves: (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):vinylstoragesolutions.ca/soundmattersvinyl.com (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS10) - Over 60,000 records! vinyl.com/?aff=94Fosi Audio Gear (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS15 for 15% OFF):fosiaudioshop.com/soundmattersSoundeck Dampening Products (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):soundeck.bigcartel.comVinyl Pursuit - Ultrasonic Cleaned Vintage Vinyl: (Use Code VPSOUND12 for $12 OFF AND Grab a FREE Album from their extensive bargain bin selection for Orders $75+ CAD):vinylpursuit.com#VinylCommunity #VinylRecord #recordcollector #audiophile #music #vinylrevival #HiFi #music #vinylrevival
Standard vs Premium Vinyl: Can You Really Hear the Difference? Sound Matters 2026-07-09 | Two copies of exactly the same album. One is the regular retail release. The other is a more premium audiophile pressing that costs a little more. And having compared these two versions of Buckingham Nicks, I can tell you straight away that the more expensive Rhino High Fidelity edition does sound better. But that raises a much more important question. Why does it sound better?

I’ve reviewed the previous iFi Zen model a couple of years ago, so it’s going to be interesting to see how the latest version compares.In fact, the iFi Zen Phono was my living room phono stage of choice for some time, as I found it to be one of the quietest and best-sounding phono stages at this price point.With this in mind, let’s take a look at its replacement and see how it measures up. We'll also compare it to some other popular affordable phono preamps: the Schiit Mani 2 and the Fosi Box X5.____________________________________________Join Patreon: (Paid members automatically enter into my quarterly record draw with vinyl.com)____________________________________________patreon.com/soundmatters Partner/Sponsor Discounts:_________________________________________________________________GrooveWasher (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)groovewasher.comTwelve Inch (Use code: SOUNDMATTERS10 for 10% Off)twelve-inch.comVinyl Storage Solutions (VSS) sleeves: (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):vinylstoragesolutions.ca/soundmattersvinyl.com (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS10) - Over 60,000 records! vinyl.com/?aff=94Fosi Audio Gear (Use Code SOUNDMATTERS15 for 15% OFF):fosiaudioshop.com/soundmattersSoundeck Dampening Products (Use code SOUNDMATTERS10):soundeck.bigcartel.comVinyl Pursuit - Ultrasonic Cleaned Vintage Vinyl: (Use Code VPSOUND12 for $12 OFF AND Grab a FREE Album from their extensive bargain bin selection for Orders $75+ CAD):vinylpursuit.com#VinylCommunity #VinylRecord #recordcollector #audiophile #music #vinylrevival #HiFi #music #vinylrevival
