I've cooled down on the Mondos but grabbed this one. It was exhilarating in the film.

Just got a new dancehall release (Killah Tape EP) on 12" from the German label Jahtari. Heard it recently and decided to get it. Probably the first vinyl I've gotten in a few years.

Still don't have a player, or room for one.

I also pre-ordered the Fury Road soundtrack from mondo. The moment the film ended I placed my order!

I, too, pre-ordered Mad Max on vinyl via Mondo. I had dl'd the score earlier in the day, loved it, and knew that once I got out of the movie I'd kick myself if I didn't have it ordered.

Don't know if you guys followed the whole launch of VNYL on Kickstarter. Maybe we talked about here. Don't know. But I thought it wouldn't go well. Seemed like its somewhere between a scam and the owner got in over his head.

Glad you posted that. I started an account with them on April 29th and I still have not received my 3 vinyls. I sent them an email about 10 days later asking what was up and Nick responded by saying that since it's a "hand curated" model that would take a bit to get the vinyls to me. Hell, I could have driven to the shop and picked them up myself. The VNYL shop is in Venice Beach.

I'm going to have to cancel this shit but good thing I used my Paypal card, so I may or may not get the initial $24 back.

That sucks man. Sorry to hear this, although I am kinda laughing that this far in this wanker is sticking g to the hand curated story.

The plural of vinyl is vinyl.

I bought this when it came out for the 5.1 disc. Is it actually worth something?

Never heard of it. I started to read the article and stopped at "Netflix for Vinyl". I need to know no more. What a bad idea. When I was a teen, I'd check records out of the library and they were scratchy, horrible things.

Yeah, I got an email yesterday morning from someone else asking me to add additional music links to what I like in order for them to better "curate" my selections. I guess my Discogs info isn't good enough, because they ask for a Spotify account and like half a dozen other music sites. There's no way I am joining more music sites in order for them to get a better idea of what I like. If they can't get it from Discogs - you know, cuz it's vinyl, then fuck them.

All that is is a big scam. They're taking 3 records that they find in a dollar bin, or get cheaper, slapping them in a box, writing your name on it and shipping it to you.

All of the pictures I've seen so far were records that I regularly put out on the floor at my store for $1.

This is such a huge scam.

Just pre-ordered the Hannibal television soundtrack from Mondo.

Son of a fuck, it's sold out!

I suppose anyone male would be a son of a fuck...

Ghost's "Meliora" is now available on Amazon for pre-order:

So two months later and I just a USPS confirmation from VNYL that my shipment is on its way. I also canceled the membership like a month ago. Now I gotta check my statement to make sure I didn't get charged for this.

Received my package from VNYL and it was a pretty good selection hand curated by their peeps. Apparently I get to keep the vinyls since they are not a rental business. I noticed they have increased their charges. Monthly rates are now $32 per month and $320 a year, which gets you two extra months for free, or 20 % off. Looks like they send you 3 titles now for that monthly subscription charge. I guess you keep what they send since you've essentially bought what they have sent. It also looks like you can expand your profile on there. In the beginning they just wanted you to link to external music accounts but now you can fill in boxes and be very specific as to what you like and dislike.

What did you get?

Young Empires - Wake All My Youth (10")
Little Daylight - Hello Memory
De Lux - Voyage


The first two are still sealed and the third one comes with two clear-see through records. My hashtag was #danceparty, so that's why these selections could be considered out of the ordinary for me. I wanted to get my groove on.

Wow, never heard of any of those bands, but at least you didn't get shafted with the dollar bin/thrift shop rejects that most of their subscribers got on the first go round.

Maybe they are turning around after the bad notices?

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe that's also why they've increased the prices a bit. To buy better vinyls for folks.

If they're sticking to the current model, the way I understand it, is that you basically get 3 LP's for 32$ a month.

The batch I received was worth more than $32 but I had already paid for them back in April at $24, so I made out okay all things considered. The bummer would be if I decide to rejoin them - I will lose out on the old $24 membership tier. I'm going to take a wait and see approach and keep an eye on them via social media.

I think you're better off staying out. You could just as easily pick out random stuff on your own for roughly the same amount of money, and at least you'd have control over what was picked. Plus, if you don't like what they "curated" for you, you're stuck with it, so that's essentially money wasted you could have spent on something else you rather would have gotten.

Yeah, true that.
