OH MY GOD MY FIRST VINYL RECORD HOLY CRAP I AM SO EXCITED.
Love on ya,
Marc
A few weeks back, I had the bright idea to give away a copy of the vinyl test pressing of my RetroLowFi compilation. I figured, what the hell, I was going to be in possession of five of these things, so why not have some fun with it, right? These test presses are exactly what they sound like: the initial copies I was sent to make sure that the vinyl was pressed correctly. No artwork, no colored vinyl, just some plain black wax with white labels. But… these means that RetroLowFi was limited to five copies on black vinyl, which makes it pretty rare in the grand scheme of things.
The contest was: make something/anything visual that proved how badly you want the album. I promised to pick the one I liked best and award things accordingly. Ready?
HONORABLE MENTIONS:

This one comes from DeLani. There’s a lot going on here, and it’s right up my alley. Good job!
Chas made this one. He wanted the records so badly that he broke some stuff.
THIRD PLACE:
Bruce Worden (of Goodnight Keith Moon fame) made this picture. People make fun of my stage name all the time… and he’s the first one to make this particular joke. He wins the third place prize: a mixtape!
SECOND PLACE:
KSV (of Sci-Fried/Slacker & The Man) made this video for “I’m In Love With Everyone I Know”. I laughed long and hard at this one, and so did pretty much anyone that I talked to about it. Never let it be said that I can’t laugh at myself. This one wins the second place prize: a dubbed copy of the original “Amy, It’s Kevin” answering machine tape. And what the hell, he gets a mixtape too!
FIRST PLACE:
