jack8urt0n Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I still didn't get why it's missing an "I". SEO. Search VNYL on google. It's already the third result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 why do people fall for stuff like this? people really have enough income and are too lazy to buy the music they already like?Young professionals having their "quarter life crisis" when they realize they don't have an identity, so they pay for subscription services like this one that can build one for them. Vinyl is a safe choice for a hobby, because you just have to obtain the dang things and keep them in your living room, plus most people have a passing knowledge of music so it's not hard to build a collection that passes muster with the kind of people they hang out with. Plus vinyl is still exotic to most people, but not so niche or outré that it's a turn off for potential sexual partners. Hell, it could get you laid if you have that Fitz and the Tantrums record she likes. I can't respect it, but I get it. 213041284s, HoneyFrosted, cfrancese5 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahPah Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 There are so many of these popping up now and they are all ridiculous...excdept turntable kitchen. That is kinda brilliant. I also like the idea of Feed Bands though since it presses albums for bands. Just haven't heard very many bands I like from that. All the other vinyl subscriptions need to stop!

smwalsh6 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 From the kickstarter page- "This curated approach may not be for everyone, but we think there's quite a few people with turntables yet little access to quality record stores offering vinyl at reasonable prices." Yea man, totally! I don't know why, but people waxing poetic (see what I did there) about pieces of plastic with music on them gives me the worst second hand embarrassment.

Shameful Dread Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 "It’s special, it’s analog, it’s different, real, and tangible. We believe in promoting vinyl in the best way we know how - by curating simple packages that you can vibe with." Hahahahahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Wow, ok. I should set up RCRDs, I have so many thousands of records in my basement ranging from (A)ldo Nova to Warren (Z)evon that I would absolutely love to get 12 dollars for. lol too bad all the suckers that would fall for this have already backed VNYL.... Just make it $10 bucks a month and VNYL will be BLCKBSTR real quick. Honestly though, this is just so dumb. Buy old lps at your local record store so not only are you supporting them but you can also get a record you actually want at a better price.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 go on Craigslist and buy 100 records for $200. Shipping records is going to slightly damage them everytime. After its been through the mail 8 times even a mint record will look like trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 wait.... so you get a pack of records every month and when you're done listening to them you send them back to get a new pack? It's like netflix by mail for vinyl? Do the people who came up with this idea know that most people who will buy into this probably have no idea how to handle records and will be playing them on crosleys with dull needles?

just a normal guy kevin Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 They're clearly going for people who want to throw their cash at an aesthetic. Like that little record stand Kickstarter a few months ago. It's not really about the records as much as it is buying into the feel and tone of Urban Outfitters-style living.

just a normal guy kevin Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 if VNYL is paying a public relations freelancer to approach blogs and publications about write-ups for VINYL and Nerdist gets behind it, it definitely is just a feedback loop of PR. ftfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Am I crazy or is the price actually around $2 - $3 a record. For $10 you get 1 shipment... of three records. There are plenty of reasons to not like this but it does seem as bad a deal as people are making it out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Am I crazy or is the price actually around $2 - $3 to borrow a record. For $10 you get 1 shipment... of three records. There are plenty of reasons why people aren't into this, mostly the prose used in the Kickstarter, but it doesn't actually seem like a terrible deal unless I am missing hidden costs. That's the thing. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Ah, I see. So I am crazy! I think there is still a market for this for the next 6 - 12 months, but y'all are right. $12 for the records they show is a pretty bad deal.

YouTwo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 $298 gets a U-turn Orbit Plus turntable w/ free shipping. Probably the cheapest price on the internet for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
