Speaking of TVOTR, Either of you familiar with Kyp Malone’s side project Rain Machine? I wasn’t until tonight, I was looking through my local recent arrivals used Section online and came across it. Looks like he released a single self-titled album in 2009. It’s really good, worth checking out especially if your looking for something to scratch that TVOTR itch.

It’s weird how this stuff happens. It had a cool cover and was $14 for a 2xLP album so I figured I check it out and then I see you guys talking about TVOTR here. Kismet.

How's it sound? Good pressing?

I haven’t listened to it yet. Probably tomorrow or Saturday. Looks like it’s pressed and Rainbo if the Discogs is correct so my hopes aren’t too high for it sounding spectacular. Hopefully since it was 2009 maybe they had higher standards than towards the end.

This is my favorite one on it. It's a heavier weight vinyl. Definitely no major issues, but I'd need to give it another listen to see if I hear it's up to @Mather system standards.

I got mine at the merch table when he toured for the album. It was at Neumos in that weird period where the fire Marshall really held the line with them.

And it was a mid week show, and I guess didn't sell super well. It's the only time I've seen them set up tables on the floor at Neumos. Great show.

Wow, yeah I’ve never seen that. We usually sprint up to the balcony to claim a table up there to get out of the mass of people.

Says Rainbo but also RTI plates on discogs. Lacquer cut by RJ at Sterling who is just okay in my experience. I’m debating picking up a copy since it’s cheap so lemme know if you have a chance to spin it! And thanks to you and @JonnyH for the reminder about this one!

Spinning side A now. Standard gz crackle and pops. @Mather your system will hate it!

Dynamics are real good though.

So 8 free records if you sign up for a year membership

Djxfactor511 · Feb 17, 2023

Funny timing that the day I cancelled my subscription from auto-renewing in June is the same day they do the 10 year anniversary re-subscribe bonus promotion. Not enough for me to re-up, but funny nonetheless.

Typical VMP Bullshit. They don’t ever do anything for the people that are actually subscribers.

if you have a current sub that started Jan 1 or later, you'll get the promo. if you have a year long subscription currently you can cancel, get refunded the remaining months and re-sub. if your sub expires soon and you want to resubscribe, you get the offer. if you see 8 albums you want for free from their list of 150 titles, then it may work out financially to cancel sub and get a refund and resub even at the higher price point.

Kind of enticing, especially if you could bank albums to redeem in the future. But not quite sure it'd work out that well.

apparently you have to choose all 8 at once. but more titles will be added as the year goes on (new ROTM, exclusives, etc.)

Well my country Sub renews in April or May i believe, and I’m signed up for VMP Parton. So what do I need to do to get the 8 free records for renewing a year? I assume cancel now and renew.

in april or may, if you resub for a year, you'll pick 8 free records from the selections. i don't think VMParton is included in this deal.

not entirely sure how it works, but i believe you'll get a coupon code to use for the free albums.

So this a a whole year deal and not just a limited time deal?

hayema7 · Feb 17, 2023

So I'm currently subbed with 8/1 as my renew date. I did some math and found that canceling now, getting my credits back, resubbing for 6months, then resubbing for a year maximizes the deal and gets me more for my money even at the newer price. It's worth crunching some numbers over.

they say the coupon expires 12/31/23. obviously some albums will "sell out" by then so those are the "limited time offer".
