Updated vinyl bot @VinylReleases since it was on an old script that was just falling apart. Now it runs every 5 mins for all stores on atom feeds (Shopify) and will not post dupes.

Servers still busy getting rid of old accounts. Might be a couple of days but things are basically taking 20-30 mins each time to get up to speed before going behind again #cupofteasocial

Worked out it's a night of 2nd listens to the vinyl itself. This is a 2024 reissue that was cut by the wonderful Marie Pieprzowik that now does all the Daft Punk stuff. Sometimes a surprise is nice because this was not on Discogs Daft Punk - Alive (2007) #vinyl #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #music

Just had alot of accounts delete themselves at the same time. Probably bots getting a mass wipe script. Things are running a bit behind for other timelines.

We're going to need £180 in one off donations for the next month to get to our goal. This is to cover server bills, energy and mods time. I'll be very happy if we get half way in 2 weeks. Thank you !

Ive always maintained that you cannot do much with a EQed master so this one to my ears doesn't sound all that different to the original I have even after a remaster and put on 2x45rpm but it still sounds great. INXS - Kick #vinyl #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #music
