Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Ethos99]

I think it's easier to ignore a thread or group of threads if your not interested instead of saying other people can't have threads they enjoy.

Love or hate VMP, that's where we all came from and that's what brought us together. Let there be threads and if they die over time so be it.

And if we all find another source we like better than VMP let those threads expand.

Ummm not sure where to post this ... but when did they get rid of the one month memberships?

Have put myself on wait list for Phoenix & OutKast but unlikely either of these will get through the ROTM list and beyond...

I just need to understand why if you want to swap the Essentials pick it can't be discussed in the Essentials thread, and so on for the other 2 tracks? Not a statement, an honest question.

@AngryVal , this is not meant as a snarky answer I swear, but honestly, if anyone has a question about stuff like this shouldn't it be directed to info@vinylmeplease.com??

The six people that have replied the last time I checked seemed pretty stoked.

I'm stoked, it's a great album, even if funky, guitar-slingin' gospel sung by a strong, soulful woman isn't your glass of bourbon.

Joey currently, I think Thomas was overseas.

Edit: Boomas.

That is very interesting.

When I think of Phoenix, I don't think of the drums at all.

Super cool and the coincidence of it all is hilarious as well.

I think that is a fair question to ask here, asking a technical question maybe should be handled by VMP, I won't be doing trouble shooting for them anymore, but asking a when did this happen or when did they do that

@Enoch I understand that, and I'm not pretending that as a community we can't help each other out with this type of information, but on the other hand, shouldn't VMP subscribers contact them so that VMP knows they're not happy with that change? Granted, I know that sort of stuff falls on deaf ears over there, but I still think the effort should be made.

Oh man, he is just a machine live and a big part of the reason why I love Phoenix so much live. If you get a chance check out his drumming on Lasso or Armistice

I think it was during the De La Soul month--March?

@AnthonyI All cool - I don't want customer support, I just wanted to see when this happened as I picked up De La Soul a couple of months back. Won't be renewing membership so no point asking them - they are still on my shitlist.

@BjorgenFjorgen Thank you

@BjorgenFjorgen Thank you ☺

Again, it wasn't meant as snark, but in the grand scheme of things I can't help but feel we've giving VMP exactly what they wanted. Somewhere else for everyone to complain so they don't need to deal with it. Not my vision of what we wanted out of this forum.

 

[LG&M]

It’s more about the Vinyl Clubs forum being dominated by VMP. I get that people disagree but right now we do have a lot of folks wishing all the VMP threads were combined into one, similar to the other clubs where all related club talk is in one thread. We are still discussing the possibility but we may decide to make a poll about this.

Or... those who don’t want to discuss VMP can just stay out of those threads?

 

[Sodajerk]

Any thoughts on swapping Phoenix for Byrd's 'Stepping Into Tomorrow'?

I think that's a great idea but stepping into tomorrow wasnt a adaption when I swapped earlier.

I am very much a supporter of skimming past threads I don’t want to read.

we were all going to go somewhere. I’m glad we’re here together.

Agreed, but I'm sure you get my point.

 

[radiodead]

My swap list is getting shorter. Down to Miles Davis, LARB, Booker, and Moses Sumney. But it’s hard to get those because a lot of the time I’ll swap for an exclusive that isn’t gonna hang around (ie. UGK Ridin Dirty for $23 uh yes please). Swapped out Rosetta Tharpe, which I just don’t like more than UGK tbh.

 

[mcherry]

Agreed, but I'm sure you get my point.

I do. And it’s for sure what they wanted. People have a right to complain, though. Some people were nowhere close to jumping the VMP ship when this happened so it’s all the more jarring for them compared to those who had a more circumspect view of them as a business. I agree with those who think gradually people will reduce the vmp talk as time goes on.

Thanks for the feedback on this. I was hoping to swap it but will look for something else. I wanted Bratmobile instead, but it wasn't there.

As I said I think participation in the threads will decrease and it won't be that hard, we are still a very VMP centric group but no longer being on a VMP forum and receiving less info about things to says less posts, others clubs/labels have a few things going on but we are able to keep up in their threads. It will take time but I really do think it will happen.

But, I still don't see the benefit in ever combining it. They're essentially different clubs just owned by one company.
