No, I just found dereckvon on YouTube randomly, been enjoying his videos since

There are several closed and/or secret vinyl and music communities on FB. Dereck is a popular contributor to at least 3 that I visit daily.

I'll highlight a few of these groups below.

The YouTube Vinyl Community is a group showing off their latest hauls and now playing LPs, CDs, cassettes, and digital music. The members each have their own YouTube channel showcasing their favorite titles. Here's another one of the group's favorite dudes...



Present Listening is a newer but fantastically thriving group with a great moderator. His rules are simple: post your present listening. Photos must clearly display the subject matter and you should always include an artist and title at the top of your post. It's a great place to discover great music old and new and the members have wonderful taste in tunes. Expect a lot of shoegaze, noise pop, and 4AD classics, lots of jazz favorites, weekly postings of Earth 2 (Special Low Frequency Version), some Morton Subotnick, and occasional krautrock. And recently there's been a trend of modern classical including Tim Hecker, Ólafur Arnalds, Dustin O'Halloran, and Max Richter.

Stop by!
