you make me so happy, child

hey @AC Slaughter if you're on Instagram, I'm @not.one.straw there, and I basically just post shit from my collection (vinyl). I have a lot as Goat will attest to, and lots of people follow me (they say) because they learn new bands to check out every day. Just in case :)

for old time's sake... @Tyr @Tyr @Tyr
