With deep sadness we’re sharing the news that Kim passed away on September 29th.
Those who were close to him or followed his posts here knew that Kim was ill with cancer and kidney disease for the past five years.
Kim approached his terminal illnesses the way he approached the rest of his life, with curiosity, boldness, and a commitment to questioning convention. He found himself a death doula, tie-dyed his own burial shroud, and helped develop resources about medical assistance in dying so that others approaching this stage of life might be empowered.
Knowing that Kim had his agency and continued to be in the driving seat of his life, even in his dying, makes it slightly easier to face the grief that his passing ushers in.
From his record label Final Notice Records, to his zines and bands, he was a tireless creator. He was also a dedicated documenter. There is a pending donation of 7 boxes to SFU’s punk archive which stretched back to the 1980s.
Rest in Power, Kim.

How does the USA justify funding Israel 13 billion in military aid while allocating 9 billion in dire humanitarian aid for vulnerable populations around the world (including Gaza)?
You can’t pay a hit man to kill someone, and then feel good about yourself for paying to barely keep the victim alive.
There is blood on your hands America - and it won’t be forgotten with the new smokescreen of news of Iran and Israel fighting.
How Many Inches Are You Packing?

Please enjoy the latest episode of the video documentation of me selling my music collection. This is a long episode (just over an hour!) but covers our shared music history in the Vancouver punk/hardcore scene and some love for some bands, including records by:
Subhumans
Articles of Faith
BL’AST!
Christ on Parade
Dag Nasty
Die Kreuzen
Dr. Know
Government Issue
TSOL
VOIVOD

and Sparkmarker
I have made my collection open to folks beyond my circles of friends, please check-out what is left - it’s mostly punk/hardcore from the 80’s and 90’s (link below)
Prices have been converted to US$ (hence some weird prices). Postage NOT included and will be shipped from Victoria, BC, Canada in a new cardboard mailer with paper ‘honeycomb’ packing.
Payments via PayPal for US and International Orders, eTransfer for Canadians.
Most vinyl is in VG+ condition or better, but reach out and I will confirm as a few pieces were bought used.
The collection is organized on this Record Scanner site into ‘cabinets’ listed as 12” vinyl, 7” vinyl, CDs, and Cassettes (NOTE: most CD’s do NOT come with jewel boxes as I store them in poly sleeves for the most part).
Thanks for looking and feel free to share the link.
If your friends are worried about dealing with a stranger, please let them know i have decades in the Vancouver punk/hardcore scene, from being in bands, publishing zines, releasing records to promoting shows - most notably being in the band Sparkmarker on Revelation, Sub Pop, Excursion and No Idea Records (amongst others).

Welcome to another episode of my video reflections of records I have sold from my personal collection to help me financially keep afloat (cancer, kidney disease and HIV is a challenging cocktail of ailments to say the least).
This has been a great way to reflect on music in my collection while ensuring that records go into loving hands. Reflecting on how I know my friends, what I like about the records they bought - and just me generally blabbing.
Having sold to close friends over the past year - I am now opening up the sale to folks outside of my friends/acquaintances circles. You may not know me - but some folks may know me for my involvement in the Vancouver Hardcore scene and the bands I was in, Sparkmarker, Strain, SamsaraSevin, Skinjobs and San Angelus.
If you are interested in seeing what records I have left for sale - please follow this link and look at the different 'shelves' - you can even organize the lists alphabetically for easier searching.

Like fine wine, many of these 12"s, 7"s and CD's have become considered 'vintage'. As I am nearing 52, some of these records have been in my hands for 38 years - WOW!
Most of the CDs will be under $5 (with a few exceptions), it the vinyl that has become crazy. What I dont sell personally here on FB, I will post on Discogs or Ebay
what you want and research on Dicogs, Ebay and Popsike to figure out a current value.
ALSO - the pressing i have listed are the pressings i have. if it says coloured vinyl, it is, if not, its black. The images are pulled from an online database so do not reflect the condition of my copy - just for reference.
For now, here's the list (now WITH prices!)... once you send me a list of your interests, I will get back within the week with info on the pressing and condition... most are graded VG+ even if the are NM...unless it is sealed, then i will say M (sealed)
I live in Victoria, BC, Canada so I will ship via Canada Post at YOUR cost. Payments can be made from Canadians via eTransfer or from folks OUTSIDE Canada (US or elsewhere) via PayPal payment.
Canada Post shipping costs are based on distance - SO Canada and USA shippingbis most affordable, elsewhere can get pricey
Mainly late 80's and early 90's punk/hardcore with some odds and ends in between years and genre's.
For those asking, most (not all) of my Canadian and Pacific Northwest stuff has already been donated to the SFU Library's 'Vancouver Punk' Archive. I still have some DOA 7"s and some other things though - so check out my list/link above.
What I have left:
About 49- 12"s (i have sold the other 110)
about 99 - 7"s (I have sold the other 88)
About 275 - CDs (I have sold the other 40)
and even some cassettes and 10"s
I won't be offering 'deals' unless you are ordering a record over $250 (we can discuss that in a private message)… there is market value for these and this really is my retirement/emergency savings... so we can discuss in a private chat
