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

As I said, we do have them in Niagara Falls, which is kind of our dumping ground for US chains to make the Americans feel at home when they visit "The Las Vegas absolutely nobody asked for".

And weirdly there are like 9 of them in Alberta

There's also Tipitina's Record Club. I moved to them when I left VMP the first time. Just finished up year 4. Still a decent price, normal timelines, and good NOLA music

I order two records from them (Rebirth and Donald Harrison), and those have been super solid.

Google has it owned by Restaurant Brands International, which owns Burger King, Popeyes and Firehouse. Says it's a Canadian/US company.

EDIT: Also damn all American's from holding out Firehouse from us until recently. Take your Jersey Mike's back and just give us more Firehouse.

Ah. I was on the wrong continent. Majority owner of Restaurant Brands is 3G Capital which is Brazilian.

Danielle Smith DOES want to be American super badly so this makes sense.

EDIT: Also is about as trashy as your average IHOP.

Isn't secretly society a reputable rotm club as well?

And interscope and a few others.

And both backed by record labels who don't have to pay licensing fees to press records.

There’s also this beaut hidden in the discord today as well:

This hasn’t been a problem the other seven years you have been using them?

Being one of their vendors must be a joy.

This sounds like a joke but there's a greater than zero chance it's not?

How did he write that and not punch himself in the dick enough to make him pass out before hitting send?

If your meal was $54 each and arrived 45 days to 2 years late. Yum.

I wouldn't be shocked if they were going to a "send us money, tell us what genres you like and we'll send you something we think fits your interests". "Trust us to curate your box". I think they have been testing the concept with the mystery bundles that have been successful. It's flexible (for them) and mysterious (for you). Helps them move stuff that's sitting and gets them out of some of traps they're in now.

Hey, I guessed right!

the AI customer service has just been a dry run for the AI curation of monthly boxes for people who don't understand how to swap

Herpes you can at least get for free if you try hard enough.

EDIT: I'm not sure if that came out right but fuck it...ship it!

Paully was saying in the discord the "series" of classics, hip hop etc, will continue along with the numbering. But it seems like they want to avoid supply issues like Ramones or Gus Cannon while also placating to those that just want something/anything. Idk

They probably just are not continued on a monthly Basis. So one month there might be a hip hop and country album and the next month classic and Rock. That's how I would read the bringing back of country and rock.
One thing that removed complaints fof them is they should nl longer bd able to oversell an rotm. Since you are not automatically signed for a track and actively swap for it once they are gone you'll have to get something else

As if you need ai for this.
" if swap = inactive set Variable "chosen record" to "torres" "would probably be all the code you need. Once torres is gone you just have to switch the rdcord

But.. what would you do with more time?

That and positioning the crate membership as comparisons to Costco / Amazon Prime.
