For @Stereogum, I spent a few months investigating Vinyl Me, Please's millions of dollars in unpaid debts and sketchy relaunch under new ownership. I interviewed vendors who did work for VMP in 2024 and never got paid. Here is everything I learned:

When I was editing for mtv at 21, I knew Kaleb Horton was so extremely smart and talented and incisive. Just a few months ago (almost 10 yrs later) we chatted on the phone. So sad to hear the news. Wish we’d gotten a coffee

"The toneless yell after 'happy,' the reimagination of 'you make me happy when skies are gray': these are the sort of madcap, dastardly moves that make the chaos of Fevers and Mirrors feel smart, intentional, and honest. New newsletter out now. https://t.co/hg1OY3XtmL

"This album crash-landed during COVID. It’s flopping back onto my bed, staring at the ceiling fan. It’s late nights with wine for one, a coaster on my secretary desk. It’s a CBD gummy and a sense of doom." https://t.co/D41RU3nXJA
