Congratulation Vesanic

so i read through it since it won,and i think it was on another level when i compare it to the others i've read - very emotional. i really can't get the "i don't care if i win" thing together with the writing though, because i really feel you're aiming high and trying really hard to make it big and grand. but it's ok since the outcome was good.
however,if you step back and look what it really says it's: i've felt bad for a while (goes for a lot of teenagers) so i drank a lot alcohol,fucked women and puked (goes for a lot of teenagers - even happy ones) and yes, the record changed my life is common. but since you did it well i totally see how it won. my favourite after the penik's one that got deleted

it was a nice story, no doubt, it's just when I read it, I think that it feels like it is written as a contribution to win a contest, more than it's you who tell a bit about your view on pink maggit and what it means to you. if you hadn't bothered with winning at all, you could've stepped aside and write it after the competition to make room for those who wanted to win badly. which would've been extremly silly to me, but just saying.just trying to say that you probably wanted to win more than you admit. it is ok to say it!

it's cool to click like that with an album altough you heard it many times before. with my favourite records it has always been extreme love at first listen

It would be okay it were correct, but it's not. I really don't care.

Feel free to send it to me then. I will even pay for postage! Haha

congrats V.  i too am cool with you winning it based on all the content and uploads you bring to the site.  that said, i did find it very funny that you poured your all into that story after playing down the contest and basically ragging on some of the other contestants for trying so hard in the "bullshit thread".  plus...those are TEST PRESSES man!  i wouldn't expect someone that's not too into vinyl to appreciate that for what it is but it is a very cool thing none the less.  peace.

Ah man, lets not end this whole thing like this. Vesanic won, he deserved to win, and he doesn't have to justify himself for winning. This thread was all about sharing Deftones memories with each other, and that's what it was. Whether or not people who don't post often posted in this thread shouldn't matter, as long as they shared a fond memory; and whether or not Vesanic felt winning the vinyls was important shouldn't matter either. It's totally not worth it to spoil such a cool thread--so we should all just pour ourselves a glass of whisky and shake each others hands.

Much respect,
