This week's contest is all about Swedes and squares.

Maybe it's the Ikea Effect but we're diggin' Bad Taste Records these days. They're a Swedish record label that keeps signing Canadian bands such as Toronto's Four Square. Because of that, we're offering up a prize pack full of tasty treats including:

* A Bad Taste sampler
* Four Square CD and t-shirt
* Satanic Surfers CD
* A copy of Warren Kinsella's book: Fury's Hour: A (Sort-of) Punk Manifesto

To win the prize pack just comment below where you think is the best place in the city to buy vinyl. The most creative answer, as voted on by the blogTO editorial collective will win the prize.

Don't forget to include a valid email when you post your comment because that's what we'll use to contact you to let you know you've won.

Ok, well, I know I risk starting a serious digression here, but <i>vinyl?</i> Come on!<br><br>It was hip and anti-establishment to collect vinyl 10 years ago. But now? Look, it's NOT better. It takes up too much space, and it <i>doesn't</i> sound better. Not with today's technology. The only point to collecting vinyl would be if you're a DJ, and even <b><i>they're</i></b> taking advantage of technology and moving away from vinyl! So, my answer to your question would have to be: Your Grandma's house.<br><br>No, wait, she's got a CD player too...

my suggestion would be flea markets... with my dad now retired, he runs a small business with flea markets and antique shops... he gets boxes of vinyl... all sorts of crazy stuff... great place to go if you are looking for anything unique for whatever the purpose...

This was a tough choice. The news that we can get vinyl at flea markets versus the insight that Grandma might have a mint condition of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues lying around in her basement.

We tossed a coin and are awarding the prize pack to Brokenengine. Congrats!

I'd like to thank all the little people:

Sneezy, Verne Troyer, that actress that played the hooker in "Total Recall", David Dingwall...
