Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Viking Dan]

they're from atlanta

Yeah, I know.
But that was why I said...my mind instantly went here.

It was also kind of a veiled dig at VMP and their classification system, which has been debated at length on this thread.

Just another reminder that I should be more explicit when being snarky...but, God Dammit, explaining it just sucks all the fun out of it.

Another fun fact... I AM SNOW.

You are lucky I am too lazy to create a Snow sockpuppet account to taunt you

I mean really what's the point, everyone will just assume it's actually him. What else is he up to...

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I swear he is working at Timmies out on highway 115

He randomly showed up to one of my cousin's comedy shows about six months back...after that he may or may not have gone to a bar. Who knows?

He has to keep a low profile now, since he is an informer

But seriously, if they did the cale mix of the stooges is it possible to get the RL cut of zep ii?

 

[Viking Dan]

Yeah, honestly just grab whatever Daft Punk you can and you've got a winner. I'd be pretty happy to add any of their releases to my collection, though Homework is still the fave (and even if Discovery seems the likelier pick). Either way, still secretly hoping it's Bricolage, 'cause I just love that album.

And as far as the Classic Rock pick goes, honestly having trouble coming up with something worthy that hasn't already gotten a decent repressing in recent years, so very curious to see what VMP does there.

Maybe The Doors: LA Woman.

It's the only Doors Album to date without at 50th Anniversary Deluxe Reissue, has 2 classic Doors songs (LA Woman and Riders on the Storm) and this is also coming in June....

'The Collected Works of Jim Morrison': Massive New Collection of Doors Singer's Writings

'The Collected Works of Jim Morrison,' a massive new volume of the late Doors singer's writings, will see release in June.

I think this might be the last thing Snow has and will ever do.

I do not even want to know.

What do you mean?
Are you saying you blanked out your participation in this?
You are Snow...aren't you?

 

[gaporter]

Don't think they'd touch Die Antwoord with a ten foot pole, there's some sexual assault allegations as well as them using homophobic slurs back in the day. I know VMP likes to pick and choose when they care about those things but I don't think Die Antwoord are a big enough act for them to bother.

 

[jbcalc]

You watch it. I'll licky this whole damn place.
I'LL LICKY IT ALL DOWN

Just the boom booms please

That was NIGHTSnow, I'm DaySnow. I have no idea what that boom boom licking jackass gets up to.

It's been mentioned already, but M.I.A.'s Kala is a very on brand pick for Essentials. It's also a pretty decent one, though I was expecting something bigger for number 100. Either way, beyond excited they are finally doing another electronic release in May. Daft Punk seems the obvious pick, but hoping they'll look a little beyond and release something from Squarepusher (maybe Ultravisitor) or Amon Tobin (Bricolage could really use a fresh pressing).

I have been hoping for this for years (trying to link any clue to it ). Hopefully one day!

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

I'd like a Welcome to Jamrock reissue, but I don't think that'd fall under essentials. MIA for sure. Which is good cause I already have Kala and Arular.

 

[The Voidoid]

Might be worth noting that MF Doom is actually British by birth, and could easily slot into "world hip hop" by the rules of some good ole fashioned dodgy VMP genre labeling. No idea what album would work, but really just take a pick, right?

 

[mdmost]

Venomous Villain never got a repress.

 

[Mennert]

My first (and only) thought when i saw "world rap" was MC Solaar.

Oui, oui. But probably not. Would be insane, though. Qui Seme Le Vent, Prose Combat or Paradisiaque.
But the problems between Solaar and his label probably aren’t resolved, yet. Still not on spotify and such.
