I'm only missing a busted box and sweet Lou. I got very close. I really wish I had a busted box though. I thought that would be the EASY part!

One day! Dream big! Someone has to have a fucked box that was replaced!

That said as an anthology concept hater I’d prefer that, you can put the albums within tha individual artists discography! It’s like pure magic!

Not sure if anyone saw on twitter (or cares) but Amileah has been been promoted to Head of Editorial and Storf is now Classics and Country Director as well as producing Anthology.

Good news for folks that don't like Storf's writing as much. Bad news for those that don't like his curation or Anthology podcasts.

Good news for folks like me who like his curation and Anthology and don't really read the mag or booklets (though I have to start with the booklets more).

Sorry to revisit but I saw the subreddit's reaction to Storf's tweets and like ... was the sub always this nasty? I know it's Storf and some folks don't like him (no comment personally) but just seems like a lot of people reading a lot into what are pretty innocent "I have a new job" tweets. I dunno. I don't keep up with the subreddit too much since I cancelled but I seem to remember it being less overtly toxic.

I mean it is Reddit. I’d be surprised if the community didn’t have some level of snark to them and there’s a couple pretentious phrasings in there. Didn’t seem that bad.

Just looked through your link and some of them are just uncalled for, nasty is a great description.

With that being said he couldn't have worded it any worse. Basically saying he invented editorial (like its a brand new concept) and that now the hard part is done he's just passing it over. For someone that prides himself on his writing, you would have thought he could write a compliment without making it about himself.

Totally agree. As a consumer I feel well within my rights to state a piece of shit is a piece of shit if I've paid for it. And, given the multitudes of proofing my own papers go through, I find it incredible that VMP constantly lets publications slip through the door that are either littered with mistakes or appear to be subject to zero challenge on content or quality.

But stating a product and the process of publication of that product is a complete goatfuck is one thing. Taking it out on the person who wrote it is another. That reddit forum was pretty personal... About a guy who basically picks records and writes about them for a living.
 
K that Reddit thread wasn’t that bad. Storf is known to a lot of the VMP community and has for better or worse laid his personality out there and he’s divisive. I don’t see anything even close to offensive.

Also congratulations to Ameliah, she always seemed like a good egg and wrote some pieces that I genuinely enjoyed back in the day. There was an article with Mitski for that AoTM that was excellent.

I guess I just learned that “snarky c*nt” is not offensive on your side of the pond...

I mean he is? I don’t think I’m the only one on here whose been on the end of that kid of behaviour from him.

Also in the grand scheme of things take out the expletive flourish and is snarky that cutting?
