In celebration of the limited-edition release of the Merge Records Companion, Merge is holding a contest. To enter, visit the Merge message board and post a photograph of you and your favorite Merge album in the "Make Your Own Companion" forum for a chance to win an XX Merge prize pack.

The CD-sized Merge Records Companion contains photographs of every 7-inch, album, EP, and DVD (plus two cassettes!) Merge put out during our first 20 years. All proceeds from this limited-edition book will benefit the charities chosen by the fourteen SCORE! curators.

Just to help kick start the process, Blurt Managing Editor Fred Mills posed with his favorite Merge album, above... watch out, we think he's going viral, and he's rumored to have contracted the swine flu recently from Billy Corgan.
