    My bestie lives in Oak Harbor and got a few through some local hookup, so I'll be there.

    Steelbooks

    These unboxing videos have a car crash appeal to them. I don't understand why they are a thing that exists, and somehow I finished this whole damn thing. That small dent is going to haunt this poor guy.

    Steelbooks

    I didn't even realize these were a thing, and it turns out I owned 2 of them (Mad Max and Ex Machina). I just thought they were special edition covers. I really like all the Mondo x Steelbook cover art. Looks like Amazon sells some titles as well.

    Steelbooks

    I love some of the artwork on these, although it's strange that some of them look completely original (The Incredibles) and others are just carbon copies of the existing covers. Do these come supplemental materials like Criterion?

    If I missed out because I jumped the gun on the their 7 day waiting period, you better at least invite me to your at-home whiskey bar. Also, there is nothing creepy about a man giving another man an over-priced knife as a gift. Just sayin.

    Oh no, they won't go out of their way to inform you of this. You have to ask. And when you ask they will cackle with joy as your dreams of starting your own at-home whiskey bar are crushed.

    It was bullsh*t how they weaseled their way out of paying those referrals. I just sent them a very diplomatic and gentlemanly worded email telling them to cancel my membership and keep their over-priced knife. I also told them that I'd have my 17 VERY CLOSE FRIENDS who I got to join, cancel...

    Vinyl Me Please Essentials

    I would love it if they chose some Jorge Ben. I'd take those picks 10 times out of 10 over ones like Phoenix. So why do we think it's Africa Brasil? If they choose a Ben album, I'd prefer Samba Esquima Novo, but AB would be still be some choice shit.

    A Poll on VMP Thread Consolidation

    Everybody out of the pool, I felt multiple warm spots! I voted and took a break from this thread, and I’m amazed at the emotional response it’s attracted. That’s a good thing, assuming we can keep this discussion civil and respect everybody’s opinion as just that… an opinion. As a newer member...

    Seattle / Tacoma / Washington

    All those are great choices. Georgetown also has a small used record store that's attached to Fantagraphics Bookstore, which is a fun place to burn some money.

    Seattle / Tacoma / Washington

    Salumi never gets old, but here are a few others worth the travels: Junebaby - Southern Food in Ravenna. This is a given, as the place is run by James Beard award winner, Eduardo Jordan, and it does not disappoint. Show up early unless you want to wait in line for a bit. Smoked carrots and...

    Criterion Club

    Love the idea and the pick. Wilder has such a massive filmography to pick from, and Ace in the Hole is one is his lesser known masterpieces (that and Lost Weekend are my personal favorites).

    I just posted a link on here, and if I'm reading this right, it appears that 17 people have signed up through my link. I read through the R&R's and didn't see any limitations on how many times your link can be used. I think if you cleared 100 you basically do work for them now.

    A Poll on VMP Thread Consolidation

    I voted for 5. I completely understand the ire and vitriol towards VMP, as I’ve also canceled my membership and am going to **try** to not let them lure me back. That said, this is a place for vinyl lovers, and like ‘em or not, that club is the largest vinyl subscription service that I know of...

    Albums That Need to Be Pressed / Repressed on Vinyl

    Sade - Lover's Rock. I really don't want to pay $100 for a used copy off discogs, but I've been teetering of late...

    Criterion Club

    Personally, from those options I'd go with Wild Strawberries. Might be my favorite Bergman. And Victor Sjostrom's performance is an all-timer.

    The Denzel Curry album is pretty solid. Picking the 4th was tough for me too (as I already have Van Zandt) and I ended up settling on Queen Latifah. Looks pretty!

    That Bespoke deal is great! I picked my 4 records and total with shipping and the discount was just over $31. Compared to a 1 month sub at VMP that's unbeatable. Does Bespoke do this deal monthly, or is this something they throw out every 6 months or so when VMP reaches out with extra stock?
