‘What we publish will stay with you’: inside a small but mighty literary hit factory
  • rsn rsn 1y ago 100%

    I love reading about these tiny publishers and indie labels, where the focus gets put back on the artists’s work rather than being hyper-focussed on profits. Super admirable 🙌

    I feel this. That said, parents should all aspire to be Bluey’s dad, I know I do (even though I consistently fall short, I keep trying!).

    That’s about as valid as “guns don’t kill people, people do”.

  • Getting back into it. Collection is thin from moving and converting to CDs/Digital. The question: Record of the month 'clubs'. Worth while?

    Not a subscriber to VMP, but have a couple of their releases—audio quality is always top notch, and the (additional) artwork and/or inserts and booklets do justify the high prices (as much as I hate to admit this..).

    That said, I still wouldn’t subscribe, however, as I would dislike someone ‘curating’ my purchases (the snob that I am 🤷‍♂️).

    Haha I like your disclaimer, as it was indeed very inviting to reply with a “still a swamp” :)

    Less food”? What are you talking about? Most of the land used for livestock is for exported meat. Also, meat is an incredibly unsustainable source of food.

    Interesting, I remember really liking Fathers and Sons. Is the reference to this book obvious? Or how does that get into play?

    The Elder (and Poetic) Edda. Beowulf fits this as well, probably.

    When there’s an option between regular black and _any_ color variant, what do you go for? I know the consensus is that black _usually_ has a higher fidelity (and is less imperfection-prone?), but I suppose ‘high fidelity’ doesn’t really come into play with NOFX records anyway 😅
