V/VM: Classic Or Dud?

I've never understood - is V/VM an artist or a label or what?

v/vm is/was an artist and label. now the label is called "v/vm test." the only thing i've heard by them that i'd pay for was their side of the fat cat split with third eye foundation. at some point it all became a non-elaborate joke, i think.

like when they started putting out $8.99 7"s of pop songs recorded from a detuned radio. suckers.

As I've said elsewhere in NYPLM, it's the equivalent of doodling comedy moustaches/cigars on record covers. Also possibly misogynistic in the Stockport Butcher's evident passion for ruining songs liked by young girls and thereby making them cry - neither funny nor ironic. In this genre it's best either to have fun (Avalanches), be architecturally interesting (John Oswald) or have a politico-aesthetic point (Culturcide). Otherwise it ends up as something weirdly less than pop music - a pallid Xeroxed substitute for the real thing.

that is a load of reactionary bollocks- I say classic. "Last Christmas" will thankfully never be the same again. S/D ?

i'd actually not though about v/vm in a long while, it all seems a bit silly and pointless

but, weirdly enough, ive been really enjoying his stuff as "the caretaker", ghostly loneliness

is anyone else downloading the VVMT365 stuff? some of it's quite good
