I admit I got good stuff from Vinyl Me, Please during the pandemic (VEEDON FLEECE, SO... HOW'S YOUR GIRL?, etc). But I'm really glad I unsubscribed within a year. This article is full of "I don't want Santana Abraxis! I've just been in a terrible auto accident!" horror stories.
Good morning. For @stereogum.com, I wrote another long piece about Vinyl Me, Please, this time investigating the company's millions of dollars in unpaid debts, interviewing vendors who got screwed, and examining VMP's troubled relaunch under new ownership.

Let me write the next James Bond movie.
"Everyone knows 007 was poisoned by nanobots and killed in a missile strike. What this film presupposes is, maybe he didn't."
"Everyone knows 007 was poisoned by nanobots and killed in a missile strike. What this film presupposes is, maybe he didn't."
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Almost impossible for me to choose my favorite Isleys album. Their run from '69-'77 is practically unbeatable IMO.

Not sure how good Bluesky is for niche-y crowdsourcing. HOWEVER, if you were to make an autumnal/spooky Robyn Hitchcock mix, what songs would you include? Think “Autumn is Your Last Chance,” “The Black Crow Knows,” etc. The likes of “Furry Green Atom Bowl” need not apply.
