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

tbh I think it's 100% for me. Charlotte Day Wilson may be was the only exception because of the song she did with BADBADNOTGOOD.

Perhaps not coincidentally hers is the only Rising release I own.

that charlotte day wilson release was the true aotm for me that month (over mitski and whatever else was out that month). and, like you, it’s the only rising release i’ve bothered with.
 
New Rising store drop. Never heard of her.


Hard to care about their Rising picks when they no longer cultivate a community, or post about why we should care about the pick. They do have an article up on the VMP Magazine (VMP Rising: Sharky), but it's an interview with Amileah, rather than an actual crafted profile, which is just lazy journalism. I would have much preferred an actual profile and/or an explanation from A-B on why this was picked as a Rising.

I did like some of their Rising picks (Gang of Youths, Tolouse, Moses Sumney), but that was back in the day when VMP hosted an actual forum.
 
I think Becky and The Birds, The Shacks, and Gang of Youths have been the only Rising artists that have stuck with me at all.
I think The Shacks is the only Rising I've ever bought. Haven't really listened to it but once or twice since getting it either... Maybe need to add it to the growing stack of stuff I'm gonna sell... (spoiler alert: I may be posting a bunch of stuff for sale within the next week or two)

The Shacks LP is perfect summer music, you should give it another spin on a warm sunny day then sell it in the Fall.
 
I’m still waiting for my Los Amigos Invisibles. I emailed CS a couple days ago, and haven’t has a response. Do they normally take this long?
Update: got a reply, apparently when you order multiple records at the same time, they wait until all items are in stock to ship. This must be new, I’ve never had this happen with VMP before. Anyways, they said they’d be happy to ship the missing record now! I really thought I had missed out, so I’m thrilled!
 
Heads up, don’t expect it to be great, looks stunning though!

You have this pressing? I am leaning towards keeping it over VMP's since I like the color better. Maybe I should wait to listen to the VMP pressing. Not sure if they were pressed in different places, but likely not.

Yeah I have it and honestly it’s crackly but it’s a dead oceans press, they really need to sort their shit out with their pressings.
