VMP can't even get labels right let alone something of this Russian nesting doll complexity. If they try to do this, you just know VMP is going to end up putting the wrong records in the wrong numbered smaller inside mailers.

The key takeaway I had from the survey is: I don't trust VMP. They promised the moon with the first box and gave us something that looked like it came out of a junk pile. They can promise whatever they want, but actually living up to these promises is a whole other thing.

Now I'm picturing Harry Caraay listening to Blue Note records and responding to emails.

When I was in my late teen's, I was a guitarist in a jazz band. I've got a lot of respect for jazz and a really strong palette for what I like and don't like. (Bop for instance isn't something I'm down for. Post-bop, though, can be amazing. Akinmusire was my favorite of these six.) I've been a...

In retrospect, I find it really annoying that they referred to their fuckups as "Anthology apologies". That was supposed to be tongue in cheek and cute, but it came off as "we got your money, we're done, fuck you".

This would have been a more fitting image to send with the finale email for Anthology instead of the ridiculousness that they just sent out. Despite everything, I'm kind of interested in seeing what's in the next Anthology...

No. Not unpopular. There's a reason Black Keys became as famous as they did. This is a solid record.

Sam Cooke "Live at the Harlem Club" (MOV) and Herbie's "Maiden Voyage". These are both 10/10s for me. They dropped on Amazon over the weekend and snagged both for under $35.

Ordered Eno early. Haven't received a message. Many of these things are bs but timing is critical.

Ordered! I desperately need to make amends for my lack of Joy Division. All I've got is the Western Works bootleg, which while amazing is not as good as Ian in full swing.

This times 100. I almost grabbed a few of them today.

People don't say it enough, but Love and Theft was the best album in terms of lyricism that Dylan had written since the 70's. If you like Dylan, this is the sale in which to grab that album.

One Trick Pony - Paul Simon (this is a major album for me even though it got passed over by a lot of people, a clean copy at this price was a can't beat deal) In The Blue Light - Paul Simon (this has been on my amazon list since it came out, he did some neat things with songs I love) Planet...

I got 17 albums from the Deep Discount sale. It's good to be king.

Here's to Polyvinyl for its recent and amazing sale. I dig that they loaded the box up with random swag. Also, picked up Flying Lotus's Flamagra this weekend for $14 in an Amazon deal.

I'm not a White Stripes or Jack White fan. (ducks for cover from bullets) I think it's either that I hung out with a lot of indie bands in the early 2000's that despised the White Stripes or that the lyrics/hooks often feel like they're not up to par with the stuff I tend to like. I have...

I got the Taj yesterday too. Been spinning that this weekend in addition to the Springsteen volume 2 box. It might have been the medical marijuana, but it never occurred to me how unrealistic the birds on the cover look. I ended up going through the seller's listings last night and ordered...

This is 100% correct. Cincinnati is neat, but Columbus is definitely the indie hub of Ohio. I've been there maybe 7 or 8 times and it's never failed to impress me.

Said the guy who is trying to sell a city that two hours from NYC. :p

Pittsburgh is charming for many of the same reasons. The charm, however, is frequently elusive.
