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

[Rowan]

I think the 6 or 12 have had the best albums in them. I got a 3 and was kinda bummed with what I got but to be expected

I think it’s a bit of a crack shoot (as they say in the states). I’m not sure that 3 fully covers the VMP margin to give shit out. I already have the Fiona Apple but that’s a decent grab otherwise. Dorothy Ashby I’m psyched about and Ornette Coleman is decent. The rest are totally new to me… and will most likely head to my local unless a quick stream doesn’t convince me otherwise

But I’ll defo play this game again.

Ok. From a conventional standpoint would people file A Tribe Called Quest under A or T?

I’ve always had them under T as I’ve treated the A in A Tribe almost like, for example, the T in The Doors, The Strokes etc and dismissed it. But now I’m thinking that’s just not right!

I think it's pretty standard practice to ignore articles ("a" and "the") when alphabetizing. The "T" section would be crazy if everything that started with "The" was filed there. And then there's the issue of a band like Smashing Pumpkins--sometimes the cover has a "The" and other times it doesn't.

I actually ignore The but save A.

It’s correct.

I know it irks @TrainFan73 but I'm with @Skalap on this one. A in a band's name typically reads very different to me, and less optional than The.

As a poet you should know that they are both articles and should be ignored for alphabetization! Where the hell is @jamieanderson1968 ?!?!!

I am actually neutral on it. I know it does not follow ALA Filing Rules, but dammit break the fucking rules and Library of Congress be damned and file them under A. (this might be because it is a holiday, and I am enjoying a really nice coffee kombucha right now so I am feeling a little anti-establishment)

Do what makes you happy, but is correct.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I will probably fee differently tomorrow and rule against filing under A. I am off the clock today

I have no problem with people doing whatever makes sense to them and helps them find things, but one way is correct!

As a poet, part of my job is to fuck with language. Period. Point blank.

I feel like your answer was more “I CAN’T AGREE WITH NEWMAN!” than anything else. @Colonel_Angus will be proud of you!

Yep. Plus since The is a definite article and A is an indefinite article it actually would make more sense (in crazy town) to ignore A and use The.
