Yeah, I signed up for it and got all the records (12 for a flat fee of $250, shipping included). While I was taking a chance, both on the quality of each record and possibly not being able to get any of them on the secondary market, I sorta had a feeling that at least a few would end up getting...

Not that I'd trust VMP to be wholly accurate, but I received an email from a record shop claiming they were going to have their copies the week of the 27th and VMP says "Estimated warehouse arrival in late February", so us getting them in March seems about right

Downvoted because it showed complete ignorance? Yeah, I think that's fair. I don't have an account on Reddit but I would have done the same. Yes, a well-known and active producer (multiple releases on Hyperdub) is launching a new project, the first not under her own name. I, for one, am...

I concur - I think it sounds great on my system, even if the vox are a bit high in the mix for my tastes. The historical nature of the performance, with a smaller band, June's mini-set, days before his career blew into the stratosphere, in a short-lived venue primarily set up for the burgeoning...

Apollo 18 for me, but JH would be good, too

*raises hand* It isn't like VMP is going far afield here I've liked the last 2 Jenny Hval albums, and while she's on the experimental/avant garde side and I have to be in the right frame of mind, she makes truly interesting music. While I knew she'd been well-received, still a little surprised...

I got a shipping notice from Popmarket on Wednesday; should show up sometime next week

Agreed it won't be with VMP, but the vinyl reissue campaign has 12 days left and is already funded (Edit: just saw that you figured that out!). I actually help the label, Latent Print Records, out with promotions, stocking at local shops, and selling merch at shows. I completely agree with you...

New album that didn't sound much like the band vs their 3rd album which is arguably one of their best. Though I agree that not repeating an Essential is the reason it won't happen, it does bring up an interesting thought for VMP - how much are they willing to stick with that if the selection...

Yeah, the Discogs prices for all the Modest Mouse releases are crazy right now, so I guess sellers are betting Isaac doesn't want to do another round of reissues himself. The only other PNW indie trio that fits for 1997 is Sleater-Kinney's Dig Me Out, but those reissues are still inexpensive.

This will be the first time in years I haven't gone to at least a day of ECCC. It really depends on what you're into - I was mostly there to chat with comic book writers and artists, maybe take in the occasional panel. Depending on the guest (comic book or celebrity), lines can be long. They've...

I swung by my local ~12:30p and they were normal busy and had plenty of RSDBF titles in stock (e.g., bunch of Aquatic, Wrens, U2, Motorhead, even 4 or 5 of the Charlie Parker box). I got 5 I wanted - All Them Witches, Broken Social Scene, Rob Dickinson, Dusty Springfield, Wrens The only one I...

Exactly

new Eels album, Extreme Witchcraft I only see his store with ordering options for now - Yellow 1x LP, Pink 2x LP 45 rpm box set (and a few different t-shirt bundles) First single

This is years ago, but for close to 2 months the album with the most weekly plays at my college radio station was Smithsonian Folkways Sounds of North American Frogs. It can be very meditative :)

From my perspective, that's still too much, even if unsurprising & probably should be expected. The track is pretty brand new and there's almost a century of legit country/folk/bluegrass/americana from which he could choose. Though it was an "easy" selection in terms of popularity, one of the...

Agreed, pure nostalgia, but I wouldn't mind some Pezcore!

They really need to hire some people who are older or younger, but no matter what get some different voices in there and provide more group input into curation. I wonder how that promise of better company diversity is coming along.... *sees the possibility that they're pressing 50K of Grizzly...

The first thing I did when I got the Newbury email was head to the label site & Bandcamp for their own repress :) Good to know it'll happen soon enough

This does bring back "fond" memories, though, of the last REM vinyl shitshow - the 2014 RSD Unplugged box set. Everyone knew it would be tough to acquire (only 2,500 pressed), and then the day comes & people start to find that there are maybe only 3 to 4 found in each city which still felt...
