It's been a tough week for the vinyl subscription service Vinyl Me, Please (VMP). A week so rough, that many are questioning their longevity + survival. Our panel talks about some of these latest hiccups, as well as visits the history of the company, their evolution to becoming the premiere vinyl subscription company in the marketplace, and will these latest missteps - coupled with ongoing litigation, declining subscription rates, and yet another price increase - seal their fate? Will they join former subscription competition like Qrates and Bandbox in the vinyl graveyard?

Welcome to part two of this two part episode with Metic.Today's guest is Metic, a producer who fuses soulful guitar grooves with laid-back hip-hop beats. His playing is rooted in blues and finger-style guitar and his productions are informed by 90s boom-bap, G-funk, and trip-hop. A frequent collaborator, the Brooklyn-based, Hong Kong native continues to draw inspiration from both cities. This is showcased in his album release: Thoughts on Home and Symmetry, which documents his life and travels across his home and hometown.In Part Two of this two-part conversation, we discuss:- Quality versus quantity as it pertains to relationships.- Metic's experience releasing vinyl using crowdfunding through Qrates as well owning the process independently.- The three major categories of work as an artist and how to approach allocating your energy across each one.- Managing expectations in a way that allows you to maintain forward motion.- And, a reminder that you don't have to be good at everything in order to succeed.By the way…If you haven't already, I invite you to listen to Part 1 of this conversation for additional context as some topics re-emerge and develop.Top 3 Gems From This Convo:1. The Craft Is At The Core.Today's artist is expected to take on many responsibilities beyond the making of the art. However, it is important to find a way to be sure you are prioritizing what is at the heart of what you do: make art.2. Learning To Say No.This we know: It isn't possible to do everything. So, when an opportunity arises that is not aligned with your goals, outside of your capacity, or simply uninteresting, it's OK to say no.3. You Don't Have To Be The Best At Everything.As mentioned in Podium #5, “Success Occurs In The Privacy Of The Soul.”Assess your talents and abilities as objectively as possible. Do what you can with what you have. You're lack of knowledge or skill in one area does not necessarily prohibit success.Remember: A skill is not a static quality, but a learned and dynamic ability that changes based on the attention we invest.Listen on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Tap in with toru:Substack: Instagram: @torubeattiktok: @torubeatTap in with Metic:Instagram: @meticmusicTo jump to a specific moment in the conversation:0:00 Intro 2:22 All Terms Are Negotiable 4:30 Quality v.

Blog post: http://videogamegrooves.com/2022/03/25/b-side-erik-elsom-magic-map-studio/ Welcome to our next B-side conversation, this time with Erik Elsom from Magic Map Studio about King's Quest V: Songs of Serenia. This crowdfunding project currently on offer at Qrates ("crates") is a reimagining of Sierra Online's touchstone point-and-click adventure game. In this conversation, we talk to Erik about his history with point-and-click adventures, and with the personal relationship he has with the music of that genre and time. We discuss the tight-knit community (which has already produced a handful of similar albums based on the Space Quest franchise) and its involvement with the project, as well as how he adds his own touch to the process of reimagining such well-loved music from Mark Seibert and Ken Allen. The Qrates project ends in 1 week. Hear samples and pledge here: https://qrates.com/projects/25365-king-s-quest-v-songs-of-serenia Magic Map Studio https://magicmapstudio.com/

Show Notes: http://videogamegrooves.com/2022/01/31/episode-91-final-fantasy-viii-battletoads-smash-hits/ We're back for 2022, perhaps a little bit sleepy, but hibernation can do that to you. Jeremy, Anthony, and Caleb are kicking off the new year with a giant spiked boot and a cool Squall Leonhart necklace. (Yeah, we know.) We are ready to return to the days of slow MIDI beats to study to with Final Fantasy VIII from Square Enix, extracting a few thematic elements from the generally well-liked Uematsu score, and putting them on the turntable for all to see. Redbook audio? Who needs it?? And who in the Final Fantasy universe is the Vin Diesel analog from The Fast and the Furious? We move it along to a much earlier (and also much later) era with Battletoads: Smash Hits from iam8bit. We discuss a bit of the origins of the franchise with David Wise's not-actually-heavy-metal leanings in the 80s, and run through the weird and warty history up to Battletoads (2020). David Housden expertly weaves many metal threads together into a simultaneously self-aware but genuinely great metal album... along with some calliope music. We look at the new releases that have come out or been announced in January, and the list is not too bad and generally pretty encouraging! We also put down some predictions for 2022, including production and industry matters, the kinds of releases we expect to see, and we toss a few out-loud wishes into the podcasting ether to see what comes back to us. Outro: "Balamb Garden" - Nobuo Uematsu, Final Fantasy VIII Twitter – @vg_grooves, @jeremy_lamont, @ch3records Caleb's other prediction is that game music vinyl labels will be releasing a lot of other kinds of "merch" this year. We shall see.

It's common knowledge that vinyl sales have been steadily rising for the last decade or so, with 2021 being another record year for vinyl in Canada with 1.1 million records sold. And it isn't just boomers buying another copy of Abbey Road. Current artists of all genres are learning that vinyl is a reliable revenue stream and that there is high demand for it among young superfans. But does it makes financial sense for independent, emerging artists to sell their new music on vinyl? And, if so, what are the upfront costs, production timelines, personal time commitment, profit margins, and so on associated with it? Those are the questions Mike digs into this week across a pair of interviews. First, Mike chat about selling vinyl with artist manager Liam Killeen (5:25), who represents major indie artists like Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (USS) and The Tea Party. Next, Mike chats with Taishi Fukuyama (37:10), the co-founder of Qrates, a vinyl crowdfunding platform and end-to-end solution for artists and labels that need short run and on-demand vinyl. If you're an indie artist, or work with indie artists, and have thought about selling vinyl, this is the show for you.

Show notes: http://videogamegrooves.com/2021/12/05/b-side-7inchstravaganza-ii/ It's back, and smaller than ever! Or, maybe it's just as small as ever! The freshly-perennial 7inchstravaganza returns with our second entry in this Burning Man style fanfest for some of the smallest music we've got on record. Jeremy is joined by a power-duo of your favorite regular guest hosts, Aaron from Ship to Shore Media and Jeff from Marshall Art, to go through a full listen to a gaggle of the greats. This is undoubtedly the most convenient, enjoyable, and informative way to hear these, so get on board and make some room as we take a walk on the teensy side!

Here at Video Game Grooves we are not above admitting our mistakes, and we do our best to rectify them. This episode we rectify the error of omission as Rozen comes back to the show after a "mea culpa" amount of time way back on Episode 21 when we were just a baby podcast. Well now as a bratty teenage podcast we slouch and kick a rock, and finally get him back on for you. To make up for lost time we are covering not one but two of his awesome vinyl releases. First up, Anthony returns us to that old Nier well with Nier: Glory to Mankind. Of course we talk about the music of Keiichi Okabe but also the dovetail with the "gravitas" of the Rozen+Reven adaptation, as well as the vocals on every single track, and what it takes to deliver on what Nier musically promises. Jeremy ends up humblebragging about the re-release variant he snagged. We continue with the more recent release of The Keyblade War, Rozen and vocalist Reven's adaptation of the inscrutably-storied Kingdom Hearts franchise, and whether it was easier or harder to match up with the iconic music of Yoko Shimomura. Everything has meaning in this release, and we get just a taste of that in our listening party today. We continue with the new releases and make a few harsh judgments over here and a few drooling hype statements over there... but ultimately we let you decide where to spend your money (links below as always) and we finally discuss the weird time-delayed climate of video game music on vinyl record, including some production insights from Rozen who also does some design work at Materia Collective, and he even pulls out the crystal ball for one or two predictions about what fans can expect in the future from the "hurry up and wait" situation we've been experiencing over the past year. Trust the power of feelings and friendship and enjoy this one!

Jakub is back on the pod from the Czech Republic to promote the Qrates campaign for his bootleg LP "Muddy Straws." It's a nine-song compilation of somewhat under-appreciated tracks off a few of the 2019 live albums, Polygondwanaland, and Demos. Thanks for listening and subscribing!

Starting with Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco & the Time Rippers at the beginning of this year, blogger and YouTuber Troels Pleimart, aka the Space Quest Historian, began reorchestrating the scores to the classic Sierra sci-fi comedy games. Three successful Qrates crowdfunding campaigns later, he's on to his biggest project yet -- a double vinyl release for Space Quest V: Roger Wilco – The Next Mutation. We spoke to him about how this all came to be.Fund the Qrates campaign for Roger Wilco V.

Vinyl Emergency may not have existed without inspiration from Billy Fields. Within the record industry, he's known as the resident vinyl expert for Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, the artist and label services arm of Warner Music Group, overseeing all aspects of vinyl production, including marketing, sales forecasts and strategy. For record lovers on Twitter, Billy is a required presence, keeping the world updated with weekly vinyl sales numbers and trends, while being a vocal advocate for quality vinyl, no matter who's releasing it. Recorded in Nashville during this year's Music Biz conference, Billy dives into the cyclical nature of music retail, his college days working at Tower Records, how Bandcamp and Qrates are working with unsigned artists to create custom limited pressings, and why his team strives to keep the price of albums down, while still giving musicians and fans what they want. Follow @billysezvinyl on both Twitter and Instagram.

VGG Episode 34: If it exists on vinyl, there is a Video Game Grooves episode of it. (It's not as much a rule as an exaggeration.) Welcome to our podcast. Again. This week we're back with our usual formula, but we're calling an audible! Podcast pun INTENDED! Anthony is on tap with special returning guest Matt Hawkins to discuss Gradius by Miki Higashino, published by Ship to Shore Media. Anthony and Matt spar about the respective quality of the MSX and Famicom versions of the game, and what became a "formative" sound for Konami. We also discuss spinoffs and sequels, as well as our favorite remix albums. Next Jeremy dons his synesthesia suit to discuss Rez Infinite, from iam8bit. With the power of an archival codex in his hands, he guides us through the Rez experience to our happy place with a few anecdotes about the game's development, art, and music, while Matt and Anthony dig into their memory banks for some added context and a Lawnmower Man reference. Paul swoops in to handle the news and releases, and they are INNUMERABLE. Well, there are a bunch, and Jeremy and Paul (mostly Paul) flesh out the context and the damages for the last couple of weeks and give you the goods about the goods you need to get. Finally, we talk about the heartbreaking side of collecting video game music on vinyl. Sometimes it's "the one that got away" and sometimes it's we got what we asked for but it wasn't what we WANTED.

The Freestyle Club Episode One: GoFundMe with Angel Mena Welcome to our introductory Episode for The Freestyle Club Podcast. The Freestyle Club – GoFundMe – Episode 1 discusses Crowd Funding after we briefly introduce ourselves to the listening audience. Radio Personality CPR Jose Ortiz, Freestyle Recording Artists Angel Mena, and Life Long Freestyle Fan and Da Unknown Admin break down our vision for the show. Each with our unique perspectives, we hope to bring something different to the subject matters we tackle within the Freestyle Community. The Freestyle Club: GoFundMe with Angel Mena Episode 1 examines the use of GoFundMe in Freestyle. Freestyle artists, producers, record labels, deejays, etc have just recently started using GoFundMe. Many are using it to finance their Freestyle projects. For example, Freestyle recording artists Lissette Melendez is currently using a GoFundMe campaign to fund her latest project. Record labels are using crowdfunding sites such as Qrates as a presale tool to press vinyl. Additionally, FB Live Shows and iRadio Stations are using GoFundMe to support their shows and stations, while deejays are also using GoFundMe in order to purchase and/or replace deejay equipment. Freestyle News And Hot Pick Of The Week Tune in as we each give our opinions on the current hot topics and events currently in Freestyle. We also pick a track each week that we consider to be noteworthy. Freestyle News WCPRFM Station: CPR updates the audience on the status of his station.

Your Video Game Grooves crew returns with new music to captivate and delight! In this episode, we are joined by Simon Jones of Minimum Records, to ride shotgun on our space-parkour journey through video games, vinyl records, video game music, and video game music on vinyl records. We begin, with somber yet adorable disposition, with Hollow Knight by Christopher Larkin and Ghost Ramp. This not-on-PS-Vita metroidvania roguelike has captured the hearts and imaginations of gamers across multiple platforms, including our own Anthony John Agnello. Anthony describes the game's style and vibe, and illustrates it with a couple of selections from the spooky-sad-cute score. Don't let any maggots near your records! We continue our high-speed topsy-turvy journey begins with Lightfield, from Minimum Records. This electronic, sometimes amelodic soundtrack by Zanshin, both challenges and enthuses us from a listening standpoint, and the presentation is oh-so-pretty! We explore the unique aspects of the game and the music it employs. Simon gives us a few insights into the production of this release and a few little details that make it special. We continue our discussion into the "omg now-time" of the gamemusicvinylverse, picking out some special releases of note, what's currently shipping, and what you should look forward to! Finally, we put Mr. Jones under the hot lights for a look at Minimum Records. This little indie label has some interesting beginnings, with a tie to one host's past! Simon tells us a little about his curation process, we ruminate on the "regionality" of record labels, and at the risk of his VERY LIFE, Simon lets us know one (and a half?) of his upcoming and heretofore unannounced releases.

Episode #58: Without technological development, the music industry would be in a very different place. From the modulated grooves of analog records to the first iPod, innovation has permanently shaped the music business, but it's not always an easy process. In recent years, technology seems to be advancing faster and faster, with more companies popping up than ever, many of which are focused on music. Are these apps and startups, who aim to be artist-centric, actually helping creators? We ask user researcher and trade journalist Kyle Bylin and music tech launch and growth strategist Patti Silverman. We also talk to startup founders Bruce Pavitt and Adam Farish (8Stem) and Taishi Fukuyama (Qrates).
