there might be some Hell Raising in the international pif thread soon
Classic pizza place. You order Americana and get Fiorentina. Thank your lucky stars it wasn’t Hawaiian.

I was looking at some comments on Discogs. Do they pay people to leave comments?
I don’t think they need to. There always been an undercurrent of overly effusive praise and shutting down criticism in their community. It was pretty oppressive at times in the old forum from a couple of members in particular.

I feel like I might have been a culprit once upon a time.

also, it was mostly spurred by a weird exchange on the Coleman record. Where the folks talking were talking about how great it was and apologizing for possible slights that may have been perceived and being overly cordial towards each other.
I always remember you being fine. And I’m not really talking about curation so much. That’s taste driven and we won’t always agree and will always have a back and forth and I’m not going to feel that’s in anyway wrong or oppressive.
It’s more at the time when there was a trend of warps and crackles and one or two would constantly be questioning systems or cleaning regimes or whatever month after month and you just got sick of repeating the same old shit the the same one or two people in particular.

Ah yeah. I was more of the “give them a chance guys” guy

I definitely bought what they were selling community wise for a bit.
And believe it or not so was I, I liked being a member for a good while. But there was a definite period where classics were different degrees of warped every month.
Plus I remember one former forumer in particular absolutely refusing to believe the beach house one had crackle because his didn’t. Even after they repressed it…

My first copy of Beach House was complete crap.
Yeah I mean once you got away from the super collectors and uncritical fan boys it was a really nice community that was cultivated there.
It just took us all a while to realise that it was incidental to the company, it was the people who had come together and not the company that had set it up or their product.

Hard pass. I was there, late 90s pop should stay in the late 90s.
Same, but I can't imagine this not selling out pretty fast if it's 1000 copies or so. Even 2000 will be gone by time it hits non-member sales I think.
For those that DO care it looks like it'll be this one.

Doesn't look limited. Late March street date.
$47 USD so my guess is VMP will come in at either $49 or $52.

Just heard back from VMP that Meters will be sent out. Still have not got a shipping notice but am not worried. I knew CS would fix their mistake. Stay tuned for a little hell raising in the International PIF thread once I am fully rejuvenated.
