Some dude in a discord chat I run randomly asked if I wanted his $10 referral code, and their store had Danny Brown's XXX so I jumped in!

jact16 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I decided to spend 40 bucks a while back to try it for the Lapsley album since I believed the people who actually enjoyed it and at the very least I knew I was getting one that I wanted. After receiving it, I compared it to some of the other unboxing videos I found online and it seems like they just send out the same shit to everyone regardless of your music taste or hashtag vibe thing. It's like they get a ton of not so popular/older EPs and just send those out to everyone. Oh well. Sold one of the other ones on discogs.

I can't wait to find out what shady shit comes next. Tommy and smailtronic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to find out what shady shit comes next. Again, not much loss on my part since I sold one and one I had already wanted, but I don't think they'll go out of business soon. The problem is that a lot of the people who subscribe are for whatever reason completely satisfied - even thrilled - by the records sent to them. They don't realize they're older, sometimes obscure EPs that they could acquire a lot cheaper elsewhere if they ever actively looked for this music that they probably otherwise wouldn't give a shit about.

Sadly this does prove the rule that there's one born every minute and probably means the gullible idiot ratio has been going up. At this rate I'm going to be able to make an absolute killing on all the Perry Como, Max Bygraves, Richard Clayderman, Acker Bilk and any other mindless tat records I've been hoarding in a lockup garage in Shoreditch, Retirement on Acapulco beach here I come.

Guessing they got ~200 bucks in exchange for a relatively believable hype post. Hadn't checked out the TRNTBL website until now. I LOVE that it is nothing but a series of pictures and a preorder link with a field for name and credit card info. Not a single tech spec, including details on how it integrates with Spotify (?!?!?!?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they claim it integrates with Sonos as well, but I believe other -ahem- more established companies have had issues with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanwtaylor Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) I work at Sonos and have seen and heard it. It works. So does the Spotify integration. Pretty cool piece of kit. It's on demo now at the Goodland Hotel in Goleta working with Sonos if anyone wants to see it. Believe it or not the hotel has a #vnyl pop-up store inside.
