Recommended Posts

Just looking at what's on my computer:

Cheap Girls - Giant Orange

Black Breath - Sentenced to Life

Torche - Harmonicraft

Nude Beach - II

Swearin' - S/T

Merchandise - Children of Desire

The Men - Open Your Heart

Grasseaters - Congruent Behavior 7"

And I'm listening to Treasure Fleet right now and I'm really digging it. Still gotta check out the new Mind Spiders (probs gonna listen to that next actually) and there's probably some album or 7" sitting on my shelf that needs to be mentioned, but I am being lazy right now.

Also, there's a ton a shit I missed from last year that I didn't listen to until this year that is making me upset for missing it. Namely Brown Sugar's "...Sings of Birds and Racism" LP.

OK, I looked through some of my records. I think the LP version of "The Blind Wink" by Tenement came out this year, so I'm counting it. Also, "Ugly" by Screaming Females. And that sick Big Eyes 7" and the Cheeky and Culo splits with Tenement. Also I'm totally counting Various States of Disrepair by Hickey.

Best record of 2012...I was saying this the day it came out, well before Pitchfork caught on, and I stand by my statement.

Honorable mentions:

Big Eyes - Back From the Moon 7"

Hoax - s/t 7" on Painkiller

NASA Space Universe LP

Toys That Kill - Fambly 42

Crazy Spirit LP

Dawn of Humans 7"

Bi-Marks 7"

...and probably some more that I am too lazy to look up.
