Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Cool an Ab-InBev cross promotion, fuck that!
Hahahahaha! Word.

I remember going to my local craft beer store years ago (maybe a decade even?) when living in Boston, the store was literally called "Craft". The owners were pretty intense, and I asked about Goose Island beers, because I had recently been to Chicago and enjoyed them. I got a stare. It was uncomfortable for a few seconds. The woman told me they no longer – and will never – carry Goose Island anymore, because they had literally been bought out by Ab-InBev that week, and this was a craft beer supporting store, not a conglomerate supporting store. Our conversation was very pleasant after that moment; she was obviously pissed off Goose Island had gone that route, and my question struck a raw chord. Her other recs for my beer preferences were spot-on.

Now I live in Philly and my brother in NYC lives 5 blocks from Other Half brewery, so my beer life is absurdly charmed, as I pick up their stuff when I visit. If you are an IPA/DIPA fan, and have had Other Half, you'll know what I'm talking about. Some of the best IPAs/DIPAs in the world.
 
Angle Olson and Young Thug? Sharon Von Etten and Rico Nasty? TF is this compilation
Mixtapes on vinyl never really made sense to me, unless it’s a soundtrack. The experience is all about listening to a cohesive unit, whether it be an album or a soundtrack (that resonates with the film). If I wanted to listen to a Spotify playlist, I’d open up Spotify. Just my personal preference.

I will say that the VMP 303 mixtapes were decent. Sounded more cohesive even with the different genres. Like a community festival with all local acts.
 
What is this you speak of? I don't remember these.

As for the Fader thingy. But guys - you get a magazine too!! A MAGAZINE!!!!
 
I kinda like the idea of compilations on vinyl tbh though I know I'm probably in the minority on that one. I just like to see at least some kind of link between them. I have the Moshi Moshi anniversary 3LP and I think it's pretty great despite a hella eclectic tracklist: Various - 20 Years of Moshi Moshi
I know Vinyl Moon is also mildly successful but I feel that sub is more about music discovery of unknown artists (and great packaging) than anything else.
