Vinyl Me Please Essentials

I'm honestly not wanting to rain on people's parade here but genuinely curious.
Why are y'all so excited about Buena Vista Social Club? It's been available cut by Bernie Grundman, pressed at RTI or Pallas for a solid 5 years for decent pricing. It's an amazing album but it's not like it's hard to find in audiophile quality. I think I got mine for $30 CDN.

This is my rationale, I had the Album on CD back in the day and would like it on wax but usually there is something I want more and thus I never end up buying this. I would probably prefer the Audiophile copy more but it being the ROTM will force the issue. Either I will finally pull the trigger on the audiophile pressing or I will just get the VMP version which would likely be pretty good too.

Is it because you hallucinate moreso on Acid? And I’m guessing it’s more of like a self-discovery kind of drug - like you feel emotions you’ve never felt before? Whereas with mushrooms it’s the same but it’s just not as potent?

I only did mushrooms a handful of times and it just wasn’t the same as acid. Of those times, I only got off twice and those times were because I ate them. The other times they were boiled into some kind of tea and I just never got off. The times that I did get off, the peaks came in waves and I much preferred the long build up and top of the mountain feeling with acid. First time I ever listened to N.W.A.’s N4Life, I was tripping hard and could not stop laughing.

I am biting my nails to the cuticles in hopes for Lazer Guided Melodies to be a related exclusive.

i wasn't really big on lazer guided melodies... it seemed a bit too relaxed and floaty, not as ambitious or heavy as ladies and gentlemen, or as classically psych as their later albums
 
Well, gotta say that BVSC and Spiritualized are gonna pull me back in. Fiancé likes John Mayer, but continuum isn’t a must add.

Since I haven’t been a member for awhile, would it just make sense for me to sign back up next month instead of swapping/getting credit this month? Also, since it’s already been announced, when abouts should I sign up in July?

It’s shoegazy-drone. Lots of repetition. Not everyone’s cup of tea. I prefer LAGWFIS more but LGM is a good one too. If you want something that is like an ever bigger version of LAGWFIS check out their Follow Up Let It Come Down, I would also recommend Songs in A&E and And Nothing Hurt both are reall great too.
 
tbh i only heard the title track of ladies and gentlemen and stopped right before come together, mostly because the title track is such a near perfect piece of music that feels heartbreaking and heart lifting at the same time that i already knew the album was perfect, though the album is aparently much different than the first song and i might not even like it

mmmmm sounds like I’d definitely prefer taking Acid then! I’m going to ask my workmate where to get it from and will look into quality and dosage and everything! The top of the mountain feeling must feel amazing!

What do you mean by this exactly? Like when your acid trip finishes, it’s hard to go to sleep because you will likely have nightmares?

Also, that’s a very interesting comparison between mushrooms and acid, that with mushrooms you feel more attached to the world, whereas with acid you feel unattached to the world! It’s just so fascinating!
 
Ok, no more drug talk from me! Let’s all talk about how excited we are for the August and September Essentials ROTM’s! 🙏🦑🌟

The pressing details for both the Buena Vista Social Club and Spiritualized both sound excellent! I am stoked that both ROTM’s will be 180g too! 💎

You can still see with your eyes closed. You might get little "Tetrises"
