Merchandise - Children of Desire

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.

Bi-Marks 7"? I have not heard about this. What label put it out?

I need to get the Hoax, NSU, and CS records. Excited to hear all of them.

Damn I can't remember what label did that Bi-Marks...and it is back in Tampa at the moment. I copped it at Chaos...good stuff though! Gotta grab that LP now. That Hoax and NSU are great, and I just ordered the CS from Katorga, but heard a couple tracks already and figure it would make the list.

Also, that Tilts LP was excellent.

So I just received my copy of Gasoline Heart- Thanks For Everything, and I think it might actually be my favorite record of the year. This band is seriously one of the most underrated rock n' roll/Americana bands of the last ten years; their record "You Know Who You Are" is probably in my top 25 ever. Seriously, check these guys out if you dig Gaslight, Lucero, etc.
