castaway Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It could be touted as the "Netflix of vinyl", except for the fact that Netflix doesn't send you random shitty movies. Make a vinyl subscription service at the same price, let me pick whatever I want to listen to, have a selection as big as spotify, and if someone plays their copy on a Crosley then just charge them the price of the record and make them keep it. Then I might bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 This is basically a randomly selected overpriced version of redbox for records. Dumbest idea ever holy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mertzrock Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 iBuds and a Macbook are a weird way to listen to vinyl unless they're rips I guess. If they're getting the guy from Sex and The City to promote it, it HAS to be good.... danionly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 WOW. I just read through this whole thread and that whole "service" kickstarter campaign. I'm at a loss for words and comprehension. GalacticMelt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezus Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Rolling Stone wrote an article about it, too. It's gaining popularity. Lmao. This would've been a decent idea if they'd offer new records (like LP1) for 12 bucks, but of course they wouldn't do that. I sure as hell won't throw my money away just to get hit-and-miss music suggestions on wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpazzyMcGee Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Mmmm, I wonder if they'll do what Netflix did and just ditch the physical aspect eventually. So, they'll email you a link so you can stream a dollar bin record instead of having it shipped to you.. tetsuodaironman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've come to accept that there are dummies and douchebags that like the same things that I do.

BWALL Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I cant wait to read the Comment trees or "verses" from each user who recieved the album. How many of this album kept skipping on my crosley and I dont know why. Then the myriad of I found hair all over the record and shit talking the previous owner for being a slob. Pure Gold!

Jollyronnie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Did anyone on here pledge? I would love to know what 3 records you get. I would call this stupid, but I have never made $33,000 renting out copies of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road so maybe it's so stupid that it's smart.

Tommy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Some of my favorite comments so far. Taken from the kickstarter page: Janina Perez - I have been listening to real records all my life,48 years. I love your stylized selection and what it means to you. Hell Yeah, music is a lifestyle. Christopher Lantzy - KCRW kept reminding me to sign up, glad I finally did it. Jason Claus - Great idea! It drives me crazy seeing the resurgence in vinyl and all these people using junk, toy turntables they buy at Urban Outfitters. Sterling Oliver - I only had a dollar to give, but now it's your dollar! I'm extremely excited for this. I love vinyl and such and I'm very excited to get exposed to new music Matt Burke - My wife bought me a Crosley turntable for Xmas. Erika Rasnick - It took a whole 2 minutes for my brain to register how in love I am with this thing.
