Title: INSOUND.COM'S RECORD CLUB, HUH?
Post by: girl power on October 14, 2009, 10:54:05 AM
HUH? ANYONE DOING THIS?

INSOUND.COM just introduced their record club, offered in 6-months or 1-ear subscriptions.

Dumb or not dumb?

I have a hard time parting with $25 for a reish of a record I really like. I can't imagine dropping that every month for random crap.

Does anyone here actually shop at insound.com to begin with? If they do, I bet they wouldnt admit it publicly.

Insound.com is affiliated with ohmyrockness.com by way of marriage. I think the husband is more involved with Insound  // the wife runs ohmyrockness.com

I mean, they're doing a service. But that lp 'deal' just sucks.

But don't forget the digital mixtape! Nothing says vinyl lover like a digital mixtape care of a digital-only music shop!

Each month's vinyl pick will be a surprise, but we promise to make our selection from the most exciting new indie releases of the "moment."

Seems like a good way to get rid of back stock and shit that isn't selling.

THERE IS A SITE CALLED OHMYROCKNESS.

oh.  my.  fucking.  rockness.  and people go to it?  if somebody told me they read something on a website called Oh My Rockness i would immediately tense up in internal shock, look at the floor, and locate nearest exit sign.

right on to that.  stuff like that is good for promotion, i just probably wouldn't ever go on there to actually read.  hell i'd put a radio ad on rush limbaugh's show if it was free.  not my market?  who cares!!  if yer doing stuff that you feel is cool stuff already, why not show it to anybody who'll look?  what are they gonna do?  realize it's good?  be persuaded that it might deserve their attention peeled away from another Animal Collective record or something?  Shit, lemme call Toyota.  See what I can do.

Not just records you won't even like, but also records that aren't even exclusive or special to the record club in any way it appears.  The lamest record club on the webz.

This is brilliant. I can't believe that retailers and music pseudo-media outlets like Insound have not been doing this shit since...forever.

It is also the stupidest, laziest thing that has befallen independent music in recent memory. Its sure to be a smash success.

vinyl club = buy 5 LPs get 15% off....buy 10 LPs get 15% off AND a free tote...??


on the bright side they will probably throw in a free t-shirt with a mixtape on it!!!

obviously one of the lamest deals ever but there's no doubt they will make tons of cash from people who read pitchfork and college kids who deny they read pitchfork.
