    Does Nonesuch typically have any Black Friday deals? I know they had their 50% off sale earlier this year, but wasn't sure about BF.

    I think I got a hoodie from them on BF last year for like $20. (edit, that might have been the 50% off sale, actually)
    Really need to have both Aretha and B.B. this month, but had a 1 month sub I would pop in & out with. As much as I hate it, I guess I'm going to sign up for 3 months and grab these two and I guess something else. If I take the chance of grabbing 1 this month and 1 next. Which one is most likely to still be available next month? I want Aretha more, but feel like it's most likely to still be there as a swap next month.

    Could always add a track and swap it this month. I hate to advocate for giving VMP more money, but at $23 those add-on swaps can be bargains!

    EDIT: I was confused - looks like these are both being released in Dec. but the sentiment is the same. Classics tend to be more "limited," but if I knew I wanted both I'd probably just add the track for Dec.
    Pusha T's verse on the new Kanye album has put me in a huge Pusha T binge all week long. Listening to all of his solo and Clipse albums on repeat. Added New God Flow, which has some of my favorite verses of his, and then ended up listening to that song on repeat over and over and over again on several occasions this week. Had me so pumped for work this morning haha So damn good!
    I was just informed that the 1-month sub is now completely gone with the switch to the new store. No more grandfathering in those of us who had it in the past. I only ever pop in every once in a while to grab something I really love, so a 3-month sub will never make sense to me. I guess I'm out for good. I don't understand their logic here, but I guess they're making money so they don't care. Side note, if anyone...

    @frodo-pkt good point, but this came straight from a chat I had with CS. I hope they were misinformed, but I doubt that will be the case as they've wanted to get rid of it completely and this is their avenue to do so.

    @frodo-pkt that messaging also wasn't there earlier (assuming you're talking about the popup)...I'm hoping it all works itself out, but I'm not super optimistic it will. I was mostly just staying active until I was able to grab Fiona, anyway, though

    Oh for sure, it will all come crashing down very soon regardless. Just wanted to clarify if there was an official communication regarding the whole being grandfathered part as I hadn't heard that. I would consider going with 3 months if there is a skip month feature but I don't see that happening as it kind of just creates the same problem that having monthly subs causes.
    I created a funky mix for Mixtape Madness, come check it out!

    I confirmed I either don't have audiophile ears or my setup just isn't good enough to notice a difference (it's not bad so I'm thinking it's my ears haha). I bought the 200g Acoustic Sounds QRP Norah Jones - Come Away With Me and compared it to my 2012 Rainbo pressing and couldn't tell the difference at all. I can definitely tell when something sounds terrible: distortion, sibilance or noisy, but can't tell the...
    Am I going crazy or did Spotify remove the ability to add an entire album to a playlist and make you do it song by song now (on android)? That's the only way I use Spotify, what the hell.

    I've always searched for and selected an album and then from that page clicked on the 3 dots icon to open options and select add album to playlist, but now that's gone. Is that how you guys do it? I'm on a family plan but I'm assuming that wouldn't affect the version of the app that's downloaded or anything weird like that.

    Yeah. It's still there for me. Three dots, then "add to playlist" ...

    You're right. It's gone for me too on android...
    Been spending a lot of time catching up on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel with the wife, and I swear there's a Blossom Dearie song in every episode (which I love) haha I always pause it to see what the song is and my wife is so used to it now, she just says, yes, I'm sure it's Blossom 🤣

    Also, @TheMythOfSisyphus I'm a cradle Catholic, and I nearly died at the line, "Ingrid, dear, too Catholic" when the brother's wife was atoning in temple.

    @nolalady Funny enough, I've been to Catholic services a handful of times and, the whole messiah schism notwithstanding, I feel very at home at the services. I feel like Jews & Catholics are both really tuned into guilt and solemn despair in their liturgical offerings. Unless we're talking Reform Jews...they're more like ecumenical Protestants.

    *Charismatic Evangelical pops head into room and waves* Hi y’all!😆
    Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends is one of my favorite albums and is being remastered for vinyl and pressed on a "color that didn’t exist before – iridescent color-morphing green and black. It will change appearance when held up to the light." Well, I guess I'm buying it haha curious how that color will turn out.

    @Chucktshoes yeah, I struggle with that too haha I have gotten better about it and sold off a lot of records I had just for collection purposes. I'll probably end up comparing this to one of the pressings I already have and deciding it's the same and selling it; if history repeats itself it'll probably be to you...:LOL::LOL:

    @Chucktshoes Out of curiosity, which pressing do you have that sounds great?

    It’s just the bog standard black one. Is it the best sounding record I have, no. It’s not the best sounding cd I have either. I don’t expect it to be either. It was recorded cheaply by kids just trying to get their music out there. The rawness and urgency are what sound great.
