Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

The cover of the My Bloody Valentine album Loveless. It is a blurry rendering of perhaps a hand on a guitar fretboard. The quality is they of an x-ray print colored pink.

Honest English-language typos are definitely a thing, though. Here's a picture I took in Shanghai in 2005. Look closely.
