I think a vote is counter productive. I think we have staff whose job it is to decide the forums direction and make these decisions. I’ll just throw in my opinion whether I’m asked for it or not haha!

But what about the electoral college? [that’s a US political joke]

I miss when this forum could just agree on things. Like that Doves are pretty great.

DOVES DOVES DOVES DOVES.

In most of the threads on here the atmosphere is great, much better than it was in our previous abode for me. There is some great fun in our own N & G AOTM threads, in particular.

It’s about as useful as first past the post (UK political joke )

Do they offer you a free record each time you cancel?

You need to be on 3 months at least to get a free record (and sign back up for 3 months)

Can someone make another VMP thread exclusively for arguing about how many VMP threads there are?

There is one somewhere...

Sometimes things blow up, it’ll soon blow over and we’ll be back to bitching about delayed, damaged records

I'm guilty of not frequenting those threads. Honestly 90% of the time I get here by clicking email links. I don't browse around as much as I'd like.

even if you can’t get into the threads have a look at the first post on the master thread. There have been some great and diverse picks so far!

Is it weird that I am considerably more excited at the prospect of a AAA Brubeck album in classics than I am for QOTSA?

I'm with you, probably going to swap out of QOTSA as that album does nothing for me.

I'm excited for both but that Brubeck will get more spins. That's true of pretty much all the Essentials. I'll spin them a couple times but I'm going back to Classics and RHH a lot more.

 

[AudioAce]

This QOTSA record is honestly the best thing VMP will put out in terms of my taste.

I will maybe comeback if they start doing Doves exclusives or records that have been chosen as N&G AOTM Im just kidding.

No I am too. AAA Brubeck will sound glorious.

Agreed, and I am glad it's one of his harder to find albums. I was really excited for the recent release of Time In. Now they just need to do a good AP pressing of Time Further Out. I have now bought that album three times in various crates and used bins, yet to find one without a few unfortunate and intrusive scratches throughout.

Is it weird that I am considerably more excited at the prospect of [insert any Classics release] than I am for [insert any Essentials release]?

P

Perhaps it's because I don't have as much time to surf around this forum as the old one but I definitely feel less FOMO personally. I made a decision to stick to tracks only unless I really want the exclusive (mainly due to pricing and constant delays). But honestly I don't get to read through every post anymore so I could be off in my observation.

True, I think there's less too, to be fair, as you don't have staff members constantly counting down how low the stock is in a very transparent attempt to up-sell.

Head above the Parapet. I’m sure Brubeck will be great and one of the more worthy classics but am I the only person who is wondering why there has been so little so soul and no real blues at all this year? It’s less the classics and more the jazz...
