Also, Sen is completely cheating by having ties.

[Seneschal]

well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for spreading the love around a little

(though if it messes up your collations you can count flaming lips, kanye and st. vincent as the winners in all of my tied years)

also, if I'd been born in '92 I'd be repping Bizarre Ride 2 The Pharcyde, just so we're all clear

[unoriginal name]

if i'd been born in 92 i would be 21

[Donfuy]

if i'd been born in 92 i would be 21

im sorry i was born in 92 and im twenty

oh no how can it be

[mintnut]

Wow, way to make me feel old you guys.

1989 galaxie 500 on fire
1990 ride fall EP
