My way cool and totally awesome and actually legitimately objectively cool postcards match made this the objectively best postcard exchange. For reals.

Toronto, home to some of the best semi-related indie/shoegazing/dancepunk/postrock/Beckian-style genre bending rock bands (Broken Social Scene, Metric, Do Make Say Think, etc.), is also the home to my postcards match Kikikills. And, as it turns out, those two things overlap quite interestingly, since kikikills has worked the merch table for Broken Social Scene and is totes tight with people involved in their record label.

So here is where my match goes above and beyond- she unwarrantedly sends me Broken Social Scene's (completely amazing and 5 star) self-titled album on vinyl, which is awesome because I collect records, and listen to them, and, hey get this, fucking adore this album and had for whatever reason yet t purchase a nice wax copy. As a matter of fact, the vinyl copy has an entire EP (EP to Be You and Me) on the D side, so really it's like two albums in one! Wooo!

So anyway this and the really cool postcard itself constitute a stellar package of export-quality Torontoian culture, for which I am incredibly thankful.

Way to go way far above and beyond kikikills! I hope wonderful things come your way in the future because you deserve wonderful things. Not because of the material goods you gave me but for the effort and excitement you put into the exchange. I think we should all aspire to mimic your greatness.
