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

I mean, that's fine and you're certainly entitled to your opinion and I respect where you're coming from.

For me, it's small things like this that give me hope that we're advancing ever so slightly as a society and becoming more inclusive in some respects (yes, I know there's a whole other subset of individuals that loathe this fact). It's at least acknowledging the fact that there are some circumstances where someone is fucking absolutely blasted with "parenthood" without consideration for past and current experiences, that I appreciate.
I respect your stance. Although we are talking past one another in some foundational ideas, then. I don't think of things like this as inclusivity, nor a function of society but rather best left for individual mitigation and tolerance. I don't, personally, loathe inclusivity and welcome it. I just don't think that every way in which we could protect people's emotions is what is meant by inclusivity. Again, my gauge is not the measure, though, is it?
 
Yeah, I feel like learning to not dwell on the bad shit is an important skill but I also feel like life will present you with enough bad shit regardless that if you are someone that gets down or triggered by things of this nature and you need the edges of life dulled a bit then what’s it hurt?
 
I’m surprised they put Frances the Mute into swaps but not octahedron… was kinda hoping that one would be there. Looks like I might just be getting bright eyes and Sigur ros. Gonna save patsy cline for a different month.

Speaking from personal experience, it's hard to not dwell on something when every day that one thing is pretty much waved in your face through interactions with others, and then there's two days out of the year dedicated to that one thing (one for him, one for her), and a couple of weeks lead up those days which every marketing ploy in the book aimed at those days.

You try and move on, but there are just times when you get roundhoused in the face by it.

Not arguing what you're saying, because it seems like you get the "what's the harm" point of it all, but just providing examples.

Yeah, I get it. We all handle things differently and if it helps some people (even a little bit) then it’s fine by me.
 
As someone who is now an ex-member, I'm morbidly curious if there's anything different or exciting in swaps this month.
I'm eyeing the Muddy Waters album but nothing out of left field or worth jumping back in depending on how long ago your sub lapsed. Like if it was around 1 or two months ago, then no point.

Don't worry , the terms mother and father will soon be replaced by something non gender specific..happy person who raised me day
 
I think too many people are missing the point. Just don't send marketing emails ever.


A $40 bright eyes album that was originally pressed at RTI and cut by KG. Is it hard to come by now?
It actually is quite hard to come by. I had been looking to buy one for about a year now and it has been pricey. Cheapest copy of the 2016 remaster on discogs in the US is $70 now. and the OG is $100+ in the US. I picked up the 2016 reissue a few weeks ago since I couldn't afford the KG one.
 
I'm going to wait until Adele's album is out, you know they will press a gazillion of these,, the market will do it's thing, and I'll buy it months after release from finding a price I'm comfortable with from r/vinyldeals.
AANDDDD.. it went from almost $40 retail to $12...
