my collection

[dr. strangelove]

so, a number of people have asked me to take pics of various xiu xiu merch/etc i have, so i just sat down and took pics of everything (well, i didn't dig around for a few of the compilations, but basically, here's most of it)

rather than attaching a bunch of pics and having this thread take days to load, i'll put links for everything

oh, and my face is visible in a few shots i took in my parent's bathroom; forgive the stubble... i only shave during the week

i used to have the "money shot" shirt as well, but it mysteriously disappeared... i actually think my mom threw it out when i was doing laundry at her house one day and left some stuff there, but she denies it

it's pretty much all shit/fart jokes, so i'm probably not going to scan the whole thing... i don't want to take it apart, so scanning the pages is a bit of a pain in the ass

and of course, my favourite xiu xiu possession, in a way:

i tried to only post medium size pics, except for a few larger ones... if you want to see something larger, or you want me to take more pics of something specific, let me know

I dont want to make an erroneous statement, but it is quite possible that your xiu xiu tshirt collection is more extensive than my entire wardrobe.

edit // and i congratulate you

[kevin]

The A Promise record that I have is a photocopied collage of the original black and white image, but it has a really "rough" feeling to the artwork (ie: It's a photocopied page that was glued onto the front of a plain white sleeve.), and there's no tracklisting or any writing of any kind. I picked it up at a show last summer.

They made an ironic bootleg?
Oh god, they're turning into System of a Down.

There are worse things. Sugar is on around half of my mix cd's.

I am envious of your ibopa shirt and cd's. I am also envious of your massive collection of LPs. I am also envious of your dashing good looks. SWEEP ME AWAY FROM MY BORING LIFE OF SCHOOLWORK AND DOLDRUMS!

[Animals! So Weird]

System of a down deserves better praise. Yes, there are tons of lame metal head kids that rant about how awesome SOAD is, but system has a lot of great music.

[kevin]

plus they put on an incredible live show. the chills i got from seeing spiders performed live is comparable to live xiu xiu.

which version of the FabMus LP is that on the right? the one with the photo?
