Polish hardcore that was smuggled out from behind the iron curtain by Joey Keithley from Canadian hardcore legends DOA (who sadly called it a day this year so: RIP). Yay me! Dezerter - "Underground Out Of Poland" LP I found this at She Said Boom in Toronto having looked for it forever. Buying Japanese hardcore records in Japan is the perk of being in a touring band that I had desired the longest. LSD - "Jast Last" ("dead model" cover) 7" - Bought this on an earlier trip this year to Japan. V/A - "Triple Cross Counter Tour Compilation" 7" - The last Bastard record I needed and I managed to have exactly enough cash on me to buy it and still have enough change to get back to the hotel on the subway as I was facing the nightmare scenario of having a bank card that wouldn't work while in a Japanese record store. The og lo-fi garage two piece's hardest to find single. Does that make me a bad person? Deja Voodoo - "Hiekkaa Hietarannan" 7" - I bought this from the guy that did our show in Tampere. Dutch punk so good that when asked what it sounds like all I can offer is: "Kinda perfect" Slapshot - "Back On The Map" LP - Test Press #16 (my lucky number) Traded this from my brother for a record I had given my wife. A top tier Killed By Death jam if there ever was one. A seminal Canadian record that I have wanted since I read about it in the Smash the State lp insert. It didn't have a cover but the covers were just spraypainted covers of random records, so my friend Woody made me a copy of his cover and I recreated the stencil on a Fucked Up lp. And away we go! Damian Abraham, Fucked Up My fav records that I acquired off my want list this year: Da Slyme - "st" (with 1/1 FUCKED UP "Couple Tracks cover" haha) DBLP - I got this thru Hits and Misses (RIP) in Toronto but it came from the drummer I believe.

Questions or comments about our lousy tastes and/or blatant omissions are welcome (but not necessarily appreciated). For some historical perspective, here's last year's pile. The rhetorical question, "who fucking asked you?" cannot be applied in this instance, because they were all asked.
