Dukefan is talking about JPEGMAFIA. One of his nicknames is “Peggy”!
Apparently we are getting a VMP exclusive JPEGMAFIA’s (AKA Peggy) “All My Heroes Are Cornballs” in January

Absolutely, living in Australia and having releases drop at 3.30am compounds the issue. Just 24 hours notice that something is going to be going on sale for members would be nice. I don't know why that's so hard.

Actually, I take what I said back! This might be the album of the year for me too actually! I understand this album completely now, after reading about her undergoing that operation and how she looked up to Mary Magdalene, and about her past relationship with Robert Pattinson! I listened closely to the lyrics too and......here is just a bit on how I feel!
You know, when I heard the song “Home With You”, I liked it for its schizophrenic quality, with her sounding poignant and twitching in the first bars of the verse, then sounding like she’s turning into an evil, bitter witch wanting revenge, then out of nowhere on the chorus, sounding mournful, angelic and affectionate. But then I listened to the album properly and that song made me cry when I really understood the tones and lyrics. And then “Sad Day” came on, and I had goosebumps. Hearing the delicate, raw, untouched, virgin-like piano ballad “Cellophane” in the context of this album was overwhelming! The amount of grief, purity, and desperation in her voice had me really pulled back! The stirring, swelling, sickening aesthetic of the song and FKA’s honest, touching lyrics had me actually crying!
Last time I’ve cried was Frank Ocean’s Blonde when I heard Self-Control and White Ferrari, but in a sense, they were tears of joy because of how happy I was. With these FKA Twigs tracks, I felt like the tears were not only because they are touching songs, but because FKA Twigs is such a strong woman and she looked to Mary Magdalene for strength and she pulled through all the pain mentally and physically and created something so special!
I cannot wait to hear MAGDALENE on vinyl now! It’s quickly becoming one of my favourite albums of the year!

The vinyl just looks black when it’s on the turntable.....That’s unacceptable
I don’t get it. Did the pressing plant - Rainbo - not see the colour of the vinyl when it was getting made? This is outrageous in terms of quality control!
The workers who choose the colouring for the vinyl obviously don’t give a shit or the manager doesn’t give a shit!
And does VMP not communicate clearly what colour they want the variant to be?!?!?
Funny that a record plant called Rainbo can't see the color issue.

The delicious irony of @NathanRicaud questioning the professionalism of other people at work!
Rainbo are shit, we’ve all known that for a while, using them is on whoever made that call rather than them at this stage. Also they’re shutting down and so all the staff are more than likely being made redundant, that doesn’t usually encourage pride in ones work.

I know, I was thinking that! I honestly wouldn’t have cared myself if my vinyl’s colour variant was that off. I was just a bit salty because I hate my current job so much (new job this week, and quit a job I didn’t like last week. Had to leave the BMW warehouse 2 weeks ago unfortunately because two full-timers came back from holidays and I was ‘the extra’), so as a result, I was being savage and harsh and mean! I just took out my hurt on Rainbo’s pressing issue
But yeah, that’s so true! If you knew you were leaving a company because of a redundancy, you probably wouldn’t care about much of your work left there

ah that’s a pity. Whats the terrible job been and what are you moving on to? I think a lot depends on the company, some places inspire pride in their workers and they want to go out in style too but Rainbo dont strike me as one of those places!

I’m working at an insulation company, that makes products for mattress’ and houses etc. my job is to put pressure/force on the fibre (insulatuon) roll that’s being created by the machine. And it takes around 45 minutes for one roll to be made and I don’t move around, and my hands are a bit sore from doing that this week. Time goes so slow Joe, like so slow! No music allowed as machinery is noisy. I think I’ll only last there another week before I quit and go onto something else. I’m more of a warehousing person, not a machinery/manufacturing person. I hate calling the agency though and telling them that the job is not for me. I always get a bit scared because I know they get disappointed
But oh well, at the same time, I’ve still done worse jobs and I’m a very lucky person to have, what I have! Plus, it’s Friday tomorrow and Lizzo just announced she’ll be doing a Melbourne intimate sideshow in January 2020
I have to admit though, it felt really good letting out my frustration and anger when I listened to FKA Twigs’ “Magdalene”! I feel good! ☺

I don’t know if this will make you feel any better but as a summer job whilst in uni I once worked in a factory that processed scrambled eggs. My job was to stand at the end of one conveyor belt and rake them thin enough to fit through the gap in flash freezing matching. Desperate stuff. At least I wasn’t the guy at the end of the flash freezing machine who had to break the sheets back down into frozen nuggets with a large rubber sledgehammer...

It does make me feel a bit better because I can’t help but think that it’s really cute and adorable that you did that when you were young!
Good thing is, even though I move around warehouses/factories so much because I don’t like them or because I get fired/asked to leave, at least I learn a lot about different companies and meet a lot of people! So it’s a bit exciting in a sense!
That job you did though sounds like a job I wouldn’t probably last long in though. Especially that guy who worked at the end of the flash freezing machine.....

I grew up in an industrial area of Britain, all my jobs when I was home from uni for the summer were in factories, that one was just the worst, by far!

When I was in university, I worked at a yarn factory. My job the first summer was to clean the waxing units. Basically, stop the machine, pull out the wax cylinder, dust everything, pull out the small carding unit, clean that, put everything back together, and reattach the yarn. Repeat about 200 times in a shift. I was so happy to graduate to the scouring unit the next year, which involved taking one whole yarn machine appart, cleaning it and putting it back together. Repetitive but less so than cleaning the wax units.

This is a fun last few messages, I love hearing about odd jobs. I will throw mine in.
When I was a teenager I worked at a timber yard, making fences and troughs for animals etc. They had this big round machine in the middle of the yard called a tanaliser. It looked like a vault with train tracks leading inside. I would have to stack timber onto a cart on the track and roll it into the tanaliser, pressure lock the door, then set it off. It would spray the timber under extreme pressure to prevent it getting moldy (think of the greenish hue that you might see when buying timber for fences). Anyway, one day we heard that an inspector was coming and it turn out that the tanaliser should have been in a secure hut, and operated by a professional (which I was not). A few of us had to spend the afternoon building a hut around the thing, then rough it up to make it look old in order to make it appear like it was an older shed.

that’s great experience for any workspace. How often in all walks of life do we just get on with our jobs, be informed of an inspection/audit, find out we’ve been doing everything completely wrong and then spend a day or two working like crazy to change procedure and make it look like we’ve been doing to right all this time...

Hahaha so true. I was also a painter and decorator around that time. I would get picked up at 5am and dropped off at one of Manchester’s many council estates (it was one big contract with the council) and spend the day stripping wallpaper. I met some funny characters on that job, including an 80year old woman who was wearing a Tupac T-shirt, had Eminem posters all over her living room, and would stand next to me to make sure I covered the whole wall. It had its low points as well, lots of the houses just weren’t looked after and the wallpaper would basically fall of in clumps because of the amount of mould.
Serious point though, I always see these jobs (as horrible as they were) as being really worthwhile as they likely made me work harder to be where I am today, at a job I like in a profession I’ve worked hard to get to.
