Emo Revival Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 This is inspired by the Finch jacket thread and all the creativity that came out of it. Would people be interested in starting up the collective again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I wasn't here during the first collective but I would be more than happy to help out and be a part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Honestly I think it could be done a lot better this time around. We see the mistakes that were made the first time, and can really improve on it. I think if we have multiple people in charge that we trust, rather than just one guy it could avoid a lot of the pit falls of the last one.

stl_ben Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Maybe explain what it is for newer people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnstypls Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Im down to volunteer to manage it. Sonething like this is going to require a lot of emails and logistics, which is what I do for a living as it is. Great idea! thomasj182 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Maybe explain what it is for newer people? I wasn't a part of the first one, but I believe a bunch of people chipped in $60 money and were guaranteed 4 records. Basically it was a kickstarter for a label where the community picked what was pressed. kriss and henster311 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 You gotta have a decent mix of skillsets and people. Eventually the labor of love will burn people out, so if the absence of one member breaks it, it wasn't viable to begin with. I wasn't here the first time but it seems like it ended about as poorly as it could, so I guess you guys can only go up. I'd avoid any of that subscription, lifetime, mumbo jumbo. That just ain't fundamentally sound. I don't have the time to do anything but let the other people involved down but I'd love to see it happen.

thenewflesh_ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah, everything going on in the Finch thread is awesome, designing the jacket was a lot of fun. I would love to be a part of it (I can help with graphic design/art). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Question for people who were in the original...how did everyone who was a part of it agree on which records were going to be pressed? I think it would be hard to have a big group of people all agree on what they wanted pressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 no, it was a giant clusterfuck and would be again, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. BobbyHill, swemoll, adamlikesmusic and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanchardoswald Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd be in but the guidline to choosing records and how things are going to be done need to be THOROUGHLY laid out before anything gets on the ground to avoid the same issues as last time.

Guest Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think this is the 5th time this idea has been brought up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If you want this to even remotely work, I suggest you decide what to press and how much it will cost before asking for money. Maybe even do one release at a time rather than take a ton of money and sit on it while you decide between reissuing Finch or Fall Out Boy or whatever nonsense.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 the best about this thread is that people want to do this without having any clue how much of a disaster it was. I cant wait until your collective decides to release the jealous sound as a double LP cbbrew22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think we can find a better way to do it than the old method. I do not think $60 for 4 records is good because I'm not going to pay $60 if I only like two of the records, and I feel that if voting were open to everyone this would happen. If packages were limited to two records, and voting decided not only what records, but which records were bundled together, it could ensure better results. My thoughts on record choosing // moving forward process: 1. compile list of potential records over the course of a month 2. run tiered voting - say there are 20 options. In the first round, allow to choose up to 10 of them, then limit to five, then 2, then 1 with no double Start with just one record, to make sure it works. Instead of sending $ to a person, establish some sort of LLC or business with its own bank account ( I don't know if this happened last time, I joined near its falling apart ). It's important to have multiple trusted people in charge of the money. The people who are in charge should not be paid and should be doing it for their love of VC. ( maybe they get a test press, or choice? to show our support ). I feel like many people would like to be in charge. just thoughts! taylo234 and smash2pieces 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I throw money away on stupid shit all the time. I'll be in for this and if it blows up, no big woop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
