cool idea dan.  this makes me want to listen to some alkaline and vote.  i haven't paid much attention to them in recent years so i would have to literally listen head to head and vote. 
 
top of my head though I would have to vote Clavicle as the front runner.

Good thoughts your way, man.
I have been in a very similar situation with my girlfriend of now three years. We were pretty much around the one year barrier and it took a turn to not adding up at all. We were working against each other all the time. We're both strong characters with conflictive opinions on a lot of things and it seemed like, although loving each other, we fought against the others affection.
There was this one big fight that brought me to openly question our relationship and wether it makes any sense to go on like this. That kind of clicked with both of us. Without changing our individual ways we all of a sudden added up to something good instead of bringing ourselves down constantly. It has been this way ever since.
I hope you both do see a chance for your relationship and make it work out. I'd say it's definitely worth fighting for and working on. Good luck!

I'm finally getting around to post what my current record area looks like. My wife and I live in a small Miami apartment so this is actually our dining room area too (complete with wine rack). The 7" collection has been moved to a set of shelves in the "office" area of the main room.
 

 
My setup has gone through a ton of changes over the years. Here's a look.
 
2012-2014

 
2011

 
2009-2010

 
2008-2009

 
2008 and before don't have photos because it was nothing to be excited about. It was a mix of boxes/crappy shelves. 

I don't care what the bracket says, Love Love Kiss Kiss is the worst.

Dan, this is super awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing what the results are.

Got into a big fight with my gf of a year tonight. Trying not to overreact but we may not be able to fix this one. Don't think I'm gonna get a lot of sleep tonight.
I'm really happy with her 99% of the time. She has another side that comes out the other 1% though that is really sassy and aggressive. It's not always alcohol related but that promotes it. Despite me sometimes voicing strong opinions on here and not being afraid to call people out, in real life I try and stay mostly mellow, positive, and avoid conflict. Occasionally she would say things to friends and family that would make me cringe a little bit but for the most part I'd just try and quash it instead of really addressing it. It wasn't until someone kinda had a talk with me and pointed out the problem that it really started to grow into something I felt like I had to call her out on. That happened tonight.
I'd like to give her a chance to work on this. No one is perfect (including me) and if you admit a problem and work on it, things can get better. There's still a part of me, though, that thinks this is just part of who she is. She may be able to keep it under wraps in the short term but if we end up married later on, it would eventually come out again. And where it's going to eventually end up is having a wife that has a contentious relationship with my friends and/or family. That's not what I want.
For right now, just trying not to overreact and take a step back to reevaluate.

Hey, thanks for sharing! This music is very bad.

i dont think so tim

Apostrophes don't pluralize words, they (generally, and it's true in this case) show possession

YES!

I legit clicked this thread to see if anyone said this or not. Anyways, free bump.

i've never been to fest because i live in chicago and most of the bands that i'd be interested in seeing at fest play chicago a few times a year. i was considering going last year, but the lineup wasn't interesting enough for me to spend the money. but this year i'm determined to go.
 
i turn 30 in november, and my goal is to have traveled to all 50 states by my birthday. 3 of the 5 i have left are Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, so i figured as long as i'm going to be driving all the way down to visit those, i might as well plan it around fest, and drive a little bit further, right?
 
looking into getting a table/booth/tent to sell some records and things while i'm there, and kill a few birds with one stone.

Don't worry, guys, I'm always up to something.

yeah so black garlic ramen is delicious 
 
steamed some crab legs for lunch today 
 
gotta hit up trader joes for a shepherd pie and some orange chicken, their orange chicken is crazy good 

I'll try it I love spicy stuff. I got this spicy chicken breading at the grocery store and using that to fry up my own nuggets is awesome. 
 
 
eating a slice of deep dish from lous right now while I get ready for lunch 

Just scored 2 missing variants for my Caspian collection. I am know officially one copy away from having a complete collection.

i thought this said "In Honor of Flood" and i was like "yeah, asbestos records is pretty great" but food is okay too i guess.

i was planning on it, actually! saw the documentary on netflix like a year ago, so it's been in the back of my brain since then!
