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

Some National. Sparingly. Honestly I don't dislike Wilco, they've just never clicked with me. They just sound like a million other indie folksy guitar bands to my ears. But it's never been my favorite style so I just don't have the ear for it.

Depends on the album especially early. I wouldn’t say much of YHF, GIB, or ST fall under the catagory of indie folk. A lot of it reminds my of The Beach Boys had Brian Wilson had access protools and was less infatuated with vocal harmony.
 
For 40% off and free shipping, I would definitely pre-order their variant of the new Moor Mother; otherwise I'm happy to get whatever version shows up at my semi-local.

They do here too. It's just funny that they're pretending to honor healthcare and military workers and lump in an equal discount for students, while at the same time having zero checks to make sure anyone falls under the appropriate group for the discount code.

Not serious people.

Doesn’t SheerID check to fall that you fall into one of those groups…hah. That’s the whole point of it

I haven’t listened to them, but what makes them a hard listen? I thought about getting a copy, listening once, and then sending it around.

Just not finding it very funny. Like Richard Pryor comes on and it is electric but he’s only 5 minutes. Jim Carey’s part here is mostly sight jokes which does not work at all. Some of it is very dated in style and content. Give it a listen and see, but I’m wondering if I would get £40 for it from the second hand shop. On the other hand I also grabbed the gospel box and have really liked these albums. If I’m not going to play something I don’t need to be buying it I think.

I believe you get an individualized code after sending documentation that verifies you fall into one of those categories…that’s the point of SheerID.

They’re paying for a third-party validation service just so they can move more overpriced LPs?(Which are probably partially overpriced so they afford stuff like a third-party validation service to offer discount code?) Such a weird company… 🙃

I mean this was in reaction to their community going "YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ABUSE YOUR CODE, RIGHT?"

They seem to be doing pretty fine…considering they funded an entire record pressing plant that is only going to be pressing their own records.

They had said SheerID was always the plan prior to doing those last coupon codes for vets and first responders but it just wasn’t in place yet.

Venture capital will keep many an unprofitable company afloat for many years. It is a weird system this capitalism.

I agree the optics on this is just weird. I mean, the idea is to get more stuff sold. Just have a veteran's day sale. I'm just not sure I want to go through a back ground check for a discount. There is enough of my data out there with folks who don't really need it, you know what i am saying...
