Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

$40 is crazy. I think I got Arular a few years ago for $20? My copy of Arular actually sounds quite good but it’s a touch noisy. Passing for now but might pick it up later if for some reason it sits. Doubt it’ll be around for more than a day or two though. MAYA is pretty available though right?
 
Arular is such a fun album, and it was on constant repeat when it came out, I would definitely pay $40 Canadian for it, but we're not talking about Canadian money now.

Kala I tried to listen to last night when the wife asked "Why do you want this?" and after three songs I was like "You're right...WHY do I need this?"
 
I think my problem is Arular was such a fun unique album when it came out I instantly grew attached to it, and trying anything new by M.I.A. (even if it's just an old album I hadn't heard) makes me realize it's kind of grating after awhile. I'm nostalgic towards Arular but completely indifferent to Kala.

I think maybe I'm on the same wavelength. I have been wishing for VMP to release something by M.I.A for yearssss and now they are all here its kind of overwhelming. Arular is definitely my favourite album by here, its so energetic and, as you say, fun!

This is the correct take. I liked “Paper Planes” and without It we also wouldn’t have “Swagger Like Us” which is dope AF too but I was pretty Lukewarm on the album as a whole.

Tell me about it...I have my local record store's latest releases on constant refresh and I'm like clockwork on VMP at 12 every Wednesday. My vinyl shopping habits are becoming unhealthy to my back account and I'm actually proud of the restraint I've shown today. Sorting my discogs collection by "Date added" is a depressing look at a vinyl addict.
