Been a huge fan of edIT for a long time since his days on Planet Mu - not so much into his group Glitch mob but I always dig his original stuff.
Limited to 750 preorder here for those who are interested!

180g doesn't really matter though. It doesn't make the record sound any better. Where it's pressed and who cut it is more important. I have only seen that the VMP is pressed at Furnace but no idea where the others are pressed.

I’ve been seeing 180g marketed lately as “audiophile” and while I agree it’s a gimmick for sound initially, it would/should technically last longer if you play the hell out of it vs. a 120g record.
 
St. Vincent 8 track..... nah that's just straight up unnecessary

Limited to 500. This is the kind of thing that will probably end up going for like $1000 in the future

Explain this logic.

The grooves would wear out either way, it's not the thickness that creates the sound.

I have a lot of real floppy light-weight records from the 70s/80s and a lot of them sound incredible and have lasted this long! As @djdavedk said, the grooves wear, not the thickness of the record.

Incorrect. That is straight up awesome. 8 Track is probably the next defunct format that will make a comeback. A little surprised she didn't do a reel to reel version.

If 8 track makes any sort of resurgence, I swear I'm building myself a time ⏲️ machine 😄
 
Might buy the 8-track of Daddy's Home just for shits and giggles. As for the vinyl... So many decisions. Do I want the photo book from the deluxe black vinyl version? One of the many colors? In terms of alt. cover art, I'm digging the indie exclusive.

Never have I been this anxious about selecting a variant. Hahah.

Heavier vinyl provides a more stable platform for both stylus and cantilever suspension providing extra protection from unwanted vibration that can cause sound degradation at the micro-level over time.

Not saying it's any reason to promote 180g, but surely there are some benefits to be had if you're a power user.

I remember buying the reel-to-reel version of The Shins' Port of Morrow because I was just so excited for a new Shins album at the time after doing nothing since their 2007 album that I bought the most expensive bundle with it. It was pointless for me. just sat on a shelf for 5 years. The one sale on discogs is me. Think it was $100 retail, sold for $75. It was not a flipping situation. I just realized that I don't need it and it was pointless to buy. Lots of people will end up buying this 8track just because.

I'm actually shocked in all my obsessive tendencies to own ways to listen to music, that I have yet to buy a reel to reel player. I would love to try it out but I'd imagine the stuff I'd really want to listen to would be way too expensive to try to collect on reel to reel.
