whenever a prompt like this goes around i am supernaturally compelled to inform everyone about my frankly wretched taste in music

a grid of 9 albums captioned "the albums that made maximumgraves". the albums are christmas island by ajj, rockin' the suburbs by ben folds, from a basement on the hill by elliott smith, teens of denial by car seat headrest, singles 06-07 by jay reatard, too by fidlar, the red album by weezer, and who killed amanda palmer by amanda palmer
