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

I'd classify that more as FOEMO. Fear Of Eventually Missing Out.
It's FOMO, since they are making people stay subscribed in the hope of not missing out when the record they are teasing is eventually released. It may seem like their pushing of records like When the Pawn doesnt have any present effects, but it helps keep people hooked and engaged in hope of a vague promise being eventually fulfilled.
 
Making people, huh? By retweeting someone who asked about a record that's been teased but is waiting on Fiona's people to give the okay to release it? If VMP was saying something like "Stay Tuned" or "Any day now" then I'd grant that's FOMO. No one is forcing anyone to stay subscribed.
 
Yet people have explicitly expressed here and on the old forum that they would stay subscribed until that album drops. All based on the vague hinting that VMP as been doing for years now, just like with Channel Orange.
I'm kind of counting on it being like the last few highly sought after reissues (Mariah, Idler Wheel) where it'll be widely available for a time
 
Going back for Phrenology if it's available already. Then Blazing Arrow. Not sure about track 3. Here are my interests in order:

Laura Nyro – More Than a New Disovery
David Gray – White Ladder
Labi Siffre – Remember My Song
Dirty Projectors – Swing Lo Magellan
John Moreland – LP5
Bon Iver – i,i
Lightmen Plus One – Energy Control Center
TVZ – TVZ or Our Mother the Mountain
Miles Davis – Sorcerer
