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

I say again this has become about me and not what I am saying

If it seems like this has become about you and not what you're saying, it's because for some reason you have conflated people criticizing the company or the things they've said to you with criticism of you personally. It's confounding that the difference is not more obvious.

the only reason someone like woob came here was because he checks literally EVERY thread here and it was blurted out on the profile posts page...

And this has been the best popcorn material I've seen in a long time.

I have so many opinions and it's hard to keep them all in on this one.

is this bait?

insert something about consumer identities and the problems of capitalism

look half of this is basically capitalism bad and we need to destroy it like ASAP

No, at this point the staff, moderators, et al are essentially being trolled. There really never was a discussion going on.... this has always been about something other than posting about VMP appropriately.

 

[LG&M]

We told you we weren't going to micromanage these VMP conversations. That's the way it's going to continue. As far as I am aware nobody has resorted to name calling and so there was no need for us to step in. It's been a bit heated and little confrontational, but that's been from both sides.

Serious question -- do you consider statements about the "kind of person" that is still a VMP customer to be fair game? Because there are a bunch of those (spoiler: they aren't positive).

 

[AnthonyI]

Is "unsafe" or "fear" the standard here? Then no. But I sure as hell am not going to voice a positive opinion about VMP on this message board, those perspectives are still clearly not welcome in this community. I took a few weeks off hoping that some of the raw nerves would have started to heal but that is clearly not the case.

@LG&M, please contact me and we can talk about it. Thanks.

This new rising artist, Huntly is doing nothing for me so far.

Also, if it matters, I've never felt afraid to post anything here, pro-VMP, anti-VMP, or otherwise.

it isn't worth the effort but I could stack up quotes that say otherwise, and yes this includes myself not responding well and doing the same thing

Sorry to re-rail this thread but there's a new Rising in the store.

Huntly 'Low Grade Buzz' | Vinyl Me, Please

"Doof you can cry to” — that’s how Australian group Huntly defines themselves. But know that the motto is more than appropriate: their first full-length album, 'Low Grade Buzz,' combines dance-party electronic vibes with yearning, heartfelt vocals. Emotionally reaching, but ready-made for...

app.vinylmeplease.com

Sounds good. Terrible album cover though.

Quick update for people with the Stars pressing (I'm looking at you @Enoch @duke86fan @tonythegamer and whoever else). Got this response from Jason since my 2nd pressing also had popping:

Thanks for reaching out! I am really sorry about that, we have seen several issues with this pressing so I've gone ahead and issued a refund back to the original method of payment. Please allow 2-4 business days for the refund to process.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need anything else.

So while it sucks that I won't get a non-popping version of this, I'm happy to have gotten a refund and not some store credit. I suggest you all do the same if your 2nd copy has the same issue like mine did!

It was posted in here but was easily lost in everything I have kept going, probably a good idea for it to be brought back up

When did you send your email about the second copy? I sent mine Tuesday evening and haven't heard back yet....

 

[Bohnjaggs]

Maybe @NathanRicaud can explain it

I liked the first couple of tracks, then it fell short for me, might have to listen to it a few times. The cover doesn't bother me........but that's me.

capitalism bad

ok communist

I sent an email earlier today after checking mine. I did not send a NEW email, I responded to the email chain from the last Stars issue, so maybe that has something to do with it?

oh that's actually really good. I've yet to receive mine, will let y'all know how it is!

That's what I did. I'm going to send another one mentioning that I've heard through social media that there is a widespread issue with the pressing and that they've offered refunds to people who have had issues with the album. Seems like they didn't get back with me for some reason.
