So wait it’s a whole thread of this?
This existed in the old place? And was considered really helpful? I...have to confess I don’t get it. How did I miss that this was a thing?

Speaking of Jason Schwartzman....one of the Coconut Records albums would be great to have.
Also... remember Rooney? They were lead by Jason's brother which could be what y'all are thinking about

Is this a joke? If so LOL. If not, I am curious how you cope with disagreements in real life? This whole community is less than a month old we’re still working out the kinks. None of this shit really matters and this will likely be resolved through vigorous debate within these threads shortly. This is the most chill and good hearted community on the inter web I’ve ever been apart of. I’d recommend taking a beat, go smoke some weed (or do whatever non-weed smokers do to relax). You’re a good guy (from what I’ve seen on here) and the community is better with you as a member.

This Phoenix album is fantastic. Not enough to replace the copy I already have though. I'm already upgrading my Outkast this month since the full tracklist upgrade is something that I do really need
I don't think this has anything to do with a lack of community. More of a want to establish ourselves as an independent entity outside of VMP as we move forward. Obviously, most of us are/were members of VMP and we can't shy away from that fact. Hence this thread exists in the first place, but we don't need to a be a carbon copy of the old forum. Streamlining and trimming the fat are all part of that process, especially in these early days.

HA! I wanted to add that to my original post but couldn’t figure out how to work “Rooney” in. I actually saw them during the last “Touring” Lalapalooza [sic] it was Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus, and Jane’s Addiction as headliners it was... okay.

Honestly, I think the Swaptions thread emerged because those excited about a given ROTM pick tired of others complaining about the pick within the same ROTM thread. In other words, it was a constructive way to take your grumbling elsewhere, and in the process, to gather opinions on past VMP exclusives. I’m keeping my wallet away from VMP so I could care less about the approach here, but I can reaffirm that the thread received significant use each month and seemed to provide value for many.

Yeah, I don’t personally know why a whole thread is needed for it when people can just solicit suggestions from others in any of the active threads but there are lots of really “specific” threads on here so it really doesn’t matter to me either way.

People keep saying the Phoenix album is gonna stick around for awhile......I wouldn’t be so sure about that. They headline major festivals for a reason.
I am keeping the record. I love it. It’s an essential record and it’s a staple of 00’s indie rock. They’ve never been my favorite band but I want it in my collection and I’m still happy to pay a little more for a nicer version/package.

Thats how I felt about “Boxer”. The copy I already owned was good enough.

Nothing was deleted. The threads got merged and posts got moved here.

So, based strictly on my completely unscientific assessment by the number of comments posted by excited Redditors, I would say the order of these selling out would be Oukast then down the road a bit Phoenix, and then even further still Sister Rosetta. the Phoenix ROTM comps nicely with The National but with a bit less obsessive fanbase which to me reads like it will stick around for at least a few months.

I saw Rooney at the first Coachella I went to ... I still love their debut album

Ohhhh, I *do* remember now that you mention the desire for people to take the complaining to other threads. I guess the part I don’t get is getting other people’s opinions on what to swap for: I take it that it’s less about the music and more about the strategy of picking wisely vis-a-vis value & inventory?

Sooo, when did VMP create waitlists for non members to purchase AOTMs once members orders are fulfilled? What's the ducking point of membership anymore, seriously, so glad I got over the FOMO. That's basically the only reason to have a membership anymore.

Reddit not psyched for Rosetta? Quelle surprise.

Thomas Hedlund is the drummer with Phoenix who also recently did shows with The Hives as their drummer was out due to a surgery. A Hives ROTM would be nice but their newer stuff is not good.

You would think, though some have seemingly used it to solicit input on the music...even when the album under discussion was merely a stream away. I’m guessing it was driven by a lack of available time, coupled with a perceived sense of urgency to lock in a swaption before it disappeared into the ether...
