Ummm... small problem with the pics there, Paul.
Can't wait to see the result of this thread. Going to buy bedsheets with the family, so when I get home, most of it should be done.

Another Spin for Vinyl
By ALEX WILLIAMS
Published: August 29, 2008
DURING his freshman year at Point Park University in Pittsburgh a couple years ago, James Acklin, now 20, felt lost among the social cliques on his new campus until he got to talking with a student who was in some of his classes. She seemed unusual, and it wasn’t just her look: thick-framed eyeglasses, bangs and vintage dresses. Then, one rainy day in February, the two skipped class and went to her apartment. As soon as she opened her door his instincts were confirmed: she had a turntable. So did he. They both spoke the language of vinyl.
Their bond was sealed as soon as she placed the stylus on an LP by the band Broken Social Scene, he said in an e-mail message. "There was this immediate mutual acknowledgment, like we both totally understood what we define ourselves by," continued Mr. Acklin, who considers his turntable, a Technics model from the 1980s that belonged to an aunt, a prized possession. "It takes a special kind of person to appreciate pops and clicks and imperfections in their music."

Most anticipated album in years and one of the most expensive. Worthy of the honour whether or not you or I expected much.
Best album cover list seemed kind of boring, we had a whole thread full of mindblowing choices.
This was the clear favorite for most of the year but then everyone just forgot about it by winter:
Watching some of these pop culture moments for the first time, some big lols here.
