Terrible swaptions this month. Might just have to drop a track...

At least they dropped the Electronic in January thing they had going. But man why the mediocrity this month? Especially considering the beating they've taken this year

Oh yeah it has been. As a fellow Tennessean, I’m well aware. It was a good ride while it lasted, but Uncle Sugar is gonna get his cut sooner or later.

Someone on Reddit didn't get their record...

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but their LLC filings are here. Fielder has posted two offerings. The one in 2019 worth less than the one in 2018. In 2018 they had 14 investors, in 2019 they had 3. Translation, they’re done. I say this sincerely, and because I care, if you haven’t already... distance yourself from this company or you will ge caught holding their bag.

I usually lurk in the shadows since moving over from the old forum, but I logged in to comment on this post. The reference to three investors vs 14 investors in the prior filing is not necessarily bad. Each investor put in more money this time, so they may have been more sophisticated investors, which may be good. It was a smaller raise, but maybe they didn’t need as much money this year (and instead opted to use short term loans via the kickthecan website to support cash flow needs in order to avoid giving away more of the company via equity). I’m not saying that’s the case, I’m just saying whether it’s a good or bad sign of their financial condition depends on facts we don’t know, so the “translation” offered in the post was pure speculation.
Since I have already logged in and don’t plan to do so again for a while, I want to say (1) I still love you guys, (2) I concede that VMP mishandles a lot of stuff, including this latest site transition fiasco (I am in the 5%), which hurts their standing in the market and in the eyes of their subscribers, BUT the whining (aggregate, not pointed at anyone in particular) and pervasive negativity in VMP threads on this forum has reached epic proportions to where every action/inaction is interpreted in the worst possible way ad nauseam page after page; and (3) as a result, the utility of this community for non-whining purposes is decreasing (as it relates to VMP threads). It helps for all of us to stay informed about developments, but I’d love to read about music and vinyl again someday.
That’s all. I’ll get off my soapbox and soak in the irony that I whined about negativity instead of posting about music.

Im pretty sure I heard clipse had some pretty low numbers. Little simz I’m pretty sure is safe still.

There's some Bitte Orca info up on the VMP site now... And I got an email too. The site still only shows the tracklist for the first LP but the email does mention the b-sides and live tracks.

I prefer Clipse but a lotta folks really enjoy Simz. The Neptune’s production is at the top of their game and I love me some good coke rap.

I love both albums, but I think @tonythegamer is right and Clipse most likely has lower numbers. Used to have a copy but gifted mine to someone who really wanted one.
Love me some Push.

Picks are weak, swaptions are weak, service is weak and the company is sinking faster than the Titanic. For all those reasons I'm out! ✌

Requested a swap to Cornelius instead of Mr. Hands and got a response in an hour confirming the swap.
Did you email or use the form on the website?

Form on the website and I picked the Swaps subcategory under the General Questions category

If there's something you'd want to swap for that isn't a swaption, might be worth requesting...they seem accomodating.

I will take that over a state income tax any day of the week. Look...some people will say “but your sales tax is almost 10%”. But if you look at states with high income tax (CA, IL, NY), look at their sales tax. It’s also high
Decided to go with Ray Charles (shouts out Matt for the accommodation) and Celia Y Johnny. Pleased with what I made out with this month. Might have to snag that Cornelius next month though if it’s still available for swaps

100%. We stormed the state capital building last time they tried to enact one, and I’ll be there if they try it again.

Did you email directly or use the ? form on the web site?... I kind of wonder if the fact that there was a specific Swaps category for that helped prioritize.
