I saw Andre 3000 at a festival in the summer. The whole vibe was really chill and everyone was sat down in front of the stage. Next thing I knew my mate was shaking me awake. 4 out of the 8 of us had fallen asleep listening to him play :ROFLMAO:

There are a few of these types of albums that I quite love due to how meditative they are but they definitely require being in the mood to listen to them. I could definitely see myself falling asleep to it live hah.

A few years ago (20 years ago) and mate and I were at Glasto. Jet were supposed to be playing but they'd pulled out for some reason. There was a rumour going round that Supergrass were supposed to be filling the slot so me and mate headed across to see them. On the way my mate put away pretty much a bag of mushrooms.

So Supergrass turn up, they were awesome. Totally awesome. Me and mate totally into it. When they finished I turned to my mate and said 'that was class. Shall we nip over and get something to eat before the next one?' to which he replied...... 'Not fancy staying here for a bit longer? I heard Supergrass might be playing instead of Jet and don't want to miss them'.

Yeah. I still don't have my November box. Starting to regret signing back up for 3 months even though I added a lot of titles over the Black Friday Sale for roughly $20 each. I'm starting to wonder whether I'll see any of them. But it's good to hear VMP are in fact still shipping records.

Why wouldn’t they expedite these? The company is such a joke at this point.

Remember when they said they had to put an end to international subscription because it was to expensive? They shipped me 5 different boxes in the last weeks and they haven't shipped my Rotm yet.

I think the "expensive" part was in reality, having to keep shipping replacements to internationals. I think if it wasn't such a crap shoot to get a solid copy of a VMP pressing we'd still have international subs.

Without the ability to ask for a replacement, suddenly VMP titles are much much cheaper in store than an international sub (of any length).

They’re cheaper in store in America too. Their model is fucked. I’m not sure there is any real logic behind any of their decisions.

The only benefit to being a member today is if something sells out. There are leaps of logic that have to be made to reach the conclusion that that is a benefit as well.
