Best Of

We are shutting down shop for the year and heading off to the SYFFAL holiday retreat and as always we will be spending it at Joel's compound in rural Illinois where we will drink until Tom passes out and then take turns drawing dicks on his face.

For us this is just as much a holiday tradition as watching A Christmas Story, getting drunk and quietly pining for your new, super hot 27 year old step mom Glenda, is a gift for you.

Being that this is our last column of the year it is only appropriate that we count down our top album of the year. The top albums of the year list, at least for me, always contains a few entries that cause me to look back, SMH and think WTF.1 And you know what? I am fine with this, because I have come to the conclusion that it is rarer for an album...

2012 you filthy whore of a year, you are finally leaving us and now it’s our turn to tell you what a joy it has been to have you in our lives. We spent the past few weeks prattling on about which albums we loved most over the past 12 years, well now its time to jump into the fire and talk about the past 12 months, which were pretty fucking good.

For our first recap column we are going to focus on the new artists that made an impression with us, so each of our contributors have put together a list of their top 3 new artists for 2012. If the artist had a single in the second half of 2011, but dropped the album in 2012, we consider them 2012..so Fuck you. If the artist dropped an obscure EP a few years back and we missed it...
