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

[CraigVC]

This. I think they got out over their skis with the price increase, flourished through COVID when this hobby blew up and now that "inflation" has hit, people are probably pulling back on what is a complete luxury and they are trying to course correct to try and not just bleed subs.

Seems like a plausible theory. Growing pains are tough. I hope they can keep the wheels on through their factory construction and can settle on a price point for subscriptions that is sustainable, especially once they have more control over their supply chain.

You don't think the assholes that shut down the forum and are clearly beholden to venture capital are going to cut the price of a sub, do you?

 

[ranbalam]

I don't remember - can I swap between subs as a member? Or turn one off and get a record from a different one some months?

Yes you can. But it's still kinda a pain to do.

It's ok, I'll probably chicken out and not rejoin for reasons

Even on a slow day, I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
Hey, I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
(Yeah he's cooler online)
Hey, I'm cooler online
(oh, yeah he's cooler online)
yeah, I'm sitting online
Hey, I'm so much cooler online
(Yeah he's cooler, yeah)
Oh yeah

When the Paisley record came out I worked on a playlist of best songs of the year with a couple of other people. One of them snuck a couple of Paisley songs on to the list at one point, and me and the non Paisley fan just evicirated the songs. They were so SO bad.

Anyway, this is a great example of why when I read the news of who is now in charge of all of the VMP selections that I was like, "Cool, cool cool, glad I don't have an active account."

Hold up, not all country lyrics are terrible. For instance...

My dinner's on fire while she watches TV
And if you've ever wondered what it's like to be me
She takes all my money and leaves me no smokes
Yells at my buddies and insults my folks
I'm breakin' my back doin' the best that I can
She's got time for the dog and none for her man
And I'm no dope, but I can't cope
So hit the fuckin' road and piss up a rope

You can piss up a rope
And you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin'
Pack your bag, I don't need the ag
On your knees you big, booty bitch start suckin'
You ride my ass like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shits creek with a turd for a paddle
And I can't cope piss up a rope

If we're talking about country lyrics, I am a big fan of Trent Summar. He put out a great album about 15 years ago called Horseshoes and Hand Grenades that still gets some airtime in my stereo.

Lol I saw that. I’m really happy with VMP but not looking to be a defender. My policy is shoot your shot with CS and they usually say yes. Not sure why you got shot down…or why others are piling on.

 

[yukbon]

there's vmp discord? or a n&g discord?

i'm willing to talk shit about vmp anywhere

Yeah, I've squeaked my wheels on reddit, discord and to CS. So I'm done for now but I meant it when I told them my membership will be cancelled when it expires until sweet rewards pop up.
The defense is weird like VMP is a non-profit or some sort of great and magical artist changing the world. People need to learn that companies aren't your friend.

@yukbon yah link is on the reddit or twitter I think?

 

[avecigrec]

…or why others are piling on.

...this is why I gave up on Reddit

Reddit is so goddamn weird.
Like, 8/10 you criticize VMP you're going to catch shit. Then miraculously some people will agree the other 2/10.

Don't you dare tell them that you can get a cheaper version of something elsewhere if you're okay with no fancy colours though.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Reddit is the dregs of the internet as far as I am concerned and I too old to learn new shit like discord. Also why would you name a social site discord?

Unrelated why do I have the weirdest hunch this is storf

Like it seems like the exact kind of oof that storf would use as a discord name
