I guess this is a hot take now...I enjoy Mordechai and am very happy to keep preordering any and all Khruangbin šŸ˜‚

I do too haha. It's not my favorite of theirs but I still dig it. Waiting on my vinyl to arrive still but the album has gotten a bunch of listens from me. Time (You and I) and So We Won't Forget are jams. I think the record will definitely get some spins for me.

I still dig the album as well. Itā€™s a solid album. Iā€™d rate it like a 6.3/10! And I love has itā€™s cool background music as well and is really hipster and laid back and surf-y and dreamy! Iā€™m very happy I got this because I know my family and friends will enjoy this when itā€™s spinning! šŸ˜Ž

I canā€™t wait for it to be summer and live life up and to have those good vibes, and later nights and going to the beach and eating more healthy! Itā€™s gonna be sweet! And I know Mordechai will definitely get some spins in summer! šŸ

haha "solid album! failing grade!" :ROFLMAO: I got ya though. I'd probably rank it around a 7 whereas their other albums are a 9 to me. I know a lot of people didn't like Hasta El Cielo either but that one gets a lot of listens for me too. Since working from home, I use my turntable a lot more since I have one in my office and that's a great album to have on as background music.
 
Omg guys, Iā€™m so freaking excited for Summer because thereā€™s so many albums that are going to be so fun to spin on the turntable then! Margo Guryan, Steve & Teresa, Khruangbin, Jonathan Richman, Donny BenĆ©t, Jake Sollo are all VMP exclusives that are yet to come to me, that I know will be awesome to play in the Summertime! šŸ›¶šŸŒ»šŸŒŠā˜€ļøšŸ

I canā€™t wait to play vinyl in Summer!!! šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜

Actually Iā€™d give Mordechai a 6.0 and Con Todo El Mundo a 7.3/10. Both are nice albums! Con Todo El Mundo is a pretty great album but itā€™s not an amazing that stood out in 2018 in my opinion! ā™£ļø

That reminds me, OMFG, imagine how good Against All Logicā€™s 2012-2017 will sound in Summer!!! šŸ‘Œ

So, what does everyone do with the warped records they are told to keep from various online retailers? I started making clocks out of mine, and am thinking about selling them. I have way too many ā€œbadā€ records stored in totes downstairs.

Honestly, nothing yet. I still have the disc of the "bad" pressing of Stars - Set Yourself on Fire that VMP did.

IMO Khruangbin makes a very specific type of music and they make it well. I now own three of their LPs and they all are pretty similar stylistically. Their music has a high floor but a low ceiling. There albums are all very listenable but I donā€™t think I need anymore Khruangbin in my collection going forward. I am good.

This ^. Plus seeing them live raises all expectations, bc live they are next level! Plus Laura Lee in person is even hotter!!!!!
 
Just got that Khruangbin in the mail. Mineā€™s just pink and itā€™s pretty disappointing compared to the mock-up, but itā€™s also still pretty enough that Iā€™m not gonna raise a big fuss about it. Gonna spin it tomorrow and see how it sounds. I, for one, love this new record. The only song I donā€™t really like is the second one. Not sure what itā€™s called, but it sounds a little repetitive and ā€œpoppyā€.
 
Well, I decided to listen to the Khruangbin album today. Boy, what a bad press. Side A1 is warped, but not too bad. Pretty heavy click at the end of track 2. Fuzz at the end of the side. Side A2 is flat, but has surface noise throughout. It gets worse as the needle gets closer to center. Gave it a quick cleaning, but Iā€™m im gonna have to go in deeper tomorrow. I just have the normal cleaning brush with liquid, nothing fancy, maybe Iā€™ll invest in a better cleaning system.

Iā€™m just getting so tired of contacting support on vinyl. Itā€™s taking a lot of the fun out of collecting. Oh well. I guess I shouldnā€™t take it so seriously.

VMP have added a new disclaimer. So just plan on it being a crapshoot at what you get. Mockups don't matter anymore.

Out of interest, was this just added onto that listing? Just wondering as if it turns out different I wonder if theres anything that those who already bought it could show as evidence that it wasnt there when bought?

FYI im not overly bothered by the colours but it does annoy me when something arrives different to what was advertised.

I don't look at the site everyday, however this wasn't on the listings Saturday. Now it's on my membership page and individual listings.
