How the fuck did you have 800 albums in 8th grade?

Fun thing about the Maxell poster- the US version is different from the UK version. The US version has the makeup artist for the shoot as the model, shot by who the fuck cares.

The UK version has Peter Fucking Murphy shot by Tony Fucking Scott.

Very cool. I did not know that.

My parents were probably way more permissive and generous than they should have been. I had an allowance of $100 a week when I was 12 and I spent that mostly on albums. I hung out at a record shop which was owned by Metric's Emily Haines older brother Tim who had a great inventory of things you would only generally find in obscure large town locations.

I am a bit obsessive about collecting things I like.
