But does that not just involve them including records they class as rock or country from the store in swaps? It’s not new to the sub. It’s old shit they can’t sell that is tenuously linked to the genre. At this point VMP has become the record retail equivalent of Apollo Creed telling Rocky not...

I'm all about this thread this year. Kept meaning to post last year but felt like an intruder dropping in mid year. Can't wait to inflict my shaky taste in lit on you all. Started the year with this beauty. I've picked up a few from the Fitzcarraldo Editions and I'm yet to find one that I...

Solidarity brother! Bit annoyed to be honest. Aside from the Black Keys, which I think would be nice to have, the other four in the set are albums I’m actually excited to have so it kinda sucks sitting around wondering if I ever will… like a year after ordering them. From this point on...

Been pondering cancelling my nonesuch orders. The issue is there is only $71.60 cash in there. The other $156 is in VMPbux and by the time I add whatever crazy arsed shipping cost they put on there for internationals and, at that value, customs I’m erring towards waiting it out till April…. or...

A/B Machines has been a staple in every single gym/ work out playlist I’ve made since that album came out. Sleigh Bells, Broadcast… good picks. Horrible prices but solid picks.

‘Donating just $60 today on records you’ll never receive will mean work shy grifter Cam has a roof over his head for the rest of the winter and won’t have to sleep in a bush with a randy raccoon until at least the late spring’

I suppose having $40 to spend on absolutely any record you fancy in that price bracket because your previous record club subscription service has gone bust can definitely be classed as an experience that’s flexible, personal and full of discovery

I honestly think the bloke has no idea on how he should talk to people online. I’m not going to go over old ground but I don’t like his writing style and I’m not a fan of his interaction style on forums. I do, however, very much like his podcasts and I think there’s a solid chance that’s more a...

I think if I were to do that then there’d have to be some sort of surreal environmental happening that gave me the need of a personal mission. Off the top of my head something like a worldwide major health event that meant nobody could leave their house for months so had time to burn (cds). But...

I played some today on my commute. Strong shades of White Album era Beatles going on with the Blowfish for sure

Wasn’t Hootie where it was at for a brief mid 90s moment? Not sure it ever made it over here but I’m sure they were a staple when I used to stay up till 2am to watch the American charts. Also seasonaires in French alps karaoke bars love Wagon Wheel. Proper scenes

Just waiting quietly for VMPs phoenix from the flames esq revival and then this place will have more aubergine emojis than one small server can possibly handle

A few years ago (20 years ago) and mate and I were at Glasto. Jet were supposed to be playing but they'd pulled out for some reason. There was a rumour going round that Supergrass were supposed to be filling the slot so me and mate headed across to see them. On the way my mate put away pretty...

It’s brilliant from VMP when you think about it though. Actively encourage people not to play the records, customers will never realise the shitty pressing quality, no replacement copies needed. Matt’s a bonafide evil genius

I’ll stand by what I said at the time. It’s a good set. A lot of it gets spun pretty regularly. But, while I’ve zero regrets about buying it, in hindsight it not go that route again. I’d DIY a set.

I think the issue at the time was that Europe 72 was a bit difficult to track down and Without a Net hadn’t been issued at the time (assuming Warfield RSD was the sub for Reckoning). But yeah. It seems pointless now given everything is on general release. And the first press was plagued with QC...

I’d have resubbed but as m an international they actually binned me off. And apparently did me a massive favour in the process

Is it too much of a rose tinted view to think that even at its most chaotic that the old VMP (old forum era) was much more coordinated than the current shower?

Which might just cover my shipping costs for a dinked Lapsey as I’m international non grata

Just had a look and my actual cash outlay on the 5 Nonesuch I’ve on pre-order is $75 and the rest was swaps for credit. So it’s trying to work out if leaving the order live is equivalent to putting the money on a random horse…. or if it’s more like sticking it a paper bag, pissing on it and...
