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

At first I thought it was a vomit-scented candle

You aren't by any chance a member of Coldplay are you?

Funniest troll of all time would be Chris Martin pretending to be a librarian.

They probably come pre melted.

I think the special edition VMP Candle, which smells like flopsweat and financial desperation, will be a holiday fave.

That would be the Neon Indians one right?

Nobody left to write the articles?

Melody will write them from now on!

I can confirm the Neon Indian mag exists as I received it.

So wait, today's VMP giveaway is literally a company that "professionally grades" vinyl and then encases it to "preserve its value"? ARE YOU FUUUUUCKING KIDDING ME?

I can’t believe this is a real service.

I can’t believe this is a real service.

I can believe nearly anything imaginable is a real service these days however I can't believe an ostensibly audiophile music company would partner with a service that is designed around the idea that your music is to be collected solely for its monetary value and that it should never actually be listened to in order to retain that. It's fucking gross.

Trading cards.
We're at the trading card stage of music collection.

Burn it all to the ground, we done here.

People collect for different reasons. There are Swifties out there the will never spin their albums and some of those albums go for hundreds of dollars.

People have comics slabbed that they will never be able to read and Pokemon cards that they will never be able to play.

I personally would likely never use it but let’s say you are a Beatles collector and pay like $2,000 for a perfect first state Butcher cover, chances are you aren’t going to be spinning that copy anyways. Even if you are a vinyl audiophile, what makes it collectible is the cover moreso than the actual music.

Maybe they should change the slogan from "Lost Sounds Found" to "Lost Sounds Found, Appraised and then Locked Behind Glass Awaiting the Highest Bidder".

Maybe we can get t shirts.

If I won this (which I'm not entering) I'd just send in multiple copies of "Whipped Cream and Other Delights".

Ha! I’d send in my daughter’s Peppa Pig album but just so I don’t have to hear it anymore

Encase a little strip of raw bacon in epoxy and hang it underneath.

Now I'm picturing Peppa Pig like the villans from Superman II
