Can you imagine the ‘Why Storff Picked This’ copy

I'd rather not.

why storf picked this:

"i've never seen a shooting star before..."

But once in the 80s a man in a trenchcoat thought an bag of pears would protect him from the rain… but he only had a trumpet…

come to think of it.. in another world storf would be a pitchfork writer....

in fact.. think about it... he doesn't like tool, writes incoherent stuff, that's a lot like brent dicrescenzo already

 

[Rowan]

Also… in defence of the Paragon stuff. The Akiko Mano and Alan Toussaint albums are both absolutely brilliant picks. If they weren’t so eye wateringly expensive I’d have bagged both

I’ve always thought he fancied himself as more of a gonzo writer. He’s toned that down these days though to more of a general self congratulatory incoherence

Id be absolutely stoked with either as a ROTM. So I’m totally okay if some of the stuff makes it into the main slots as long as the mastering, etc is on par. And yeah, they’re clearly pivoting after they didn’t sell well. Which makes sense-they were overpriced a bit and folks are probably not crazy about the idea of late 2024 pre-orders from them at the moment. I’m all for them focusing a bit

Exclusive cut to VMP.

The RTI/Golden cut is really good so wonder how this one will compare. Pretty sure this one will be digitally sourced.

I have the European “Back to Black” GZ pressing and it sounds quite good.

If the price wasn’t stupid, I’d be down for a lot of it, but the price is dumb.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I should give my D’Angelo a spin. It’s white and United but I don’t remember it sucking. Also, I bought it from VMP. lol

They gave me $44 for my swap credits this month so I'm going to get one of them.... or Joe Bataan Sings Soul

I’m waiting on a coupon for Joe Bataan and Allen Toussaint

Shame that you'll probably need them to be in stock too. Although based on the earlier conversation that may not be an issue

Ha, I think you're on to something here. Storf's writing style is essentially just ChatGPT trained only on early 2000s Pitchfork (Media) reviews.

The mobile20 code worked on preorders too so maybe we’ll get another code for all items!

 

[yukbon]

I mean if it wasn’t selling, moving it to rotm doesn’t make any sense. Not selling 1000 copies is way different from running off subscribers and/or a bunch of people swapping - which they have already alluded to being concerned about. {CCD probably should have always been a country album (now I’m thinking this might be their “bluegrass” trio - I’m a have to school Storf if it is)}

I mean, it's clearly not doing numbers because they're over the top expensive. If they were the cost of a swap or an additional sub, they would do much, much better numbers.

The super long preorder window is also a reason why I didn’t order any. I’ll get Toussaint but didn’t wanna buy it now and then have to wait until January or whenever it actually comes out.

Yes. To a certain extent. However, we don’t have the interest on this we thought we did LET’S MAKE MORE!!! Makes absolutely no fucking business sense. So it’s probably what’s happening.

Or have them go out of business while waiting. Jk… sort of.
