I got it from one of my best friends, Wim, who used to play bass for the Belgian band \u2018True Colors\u2019.  He knew I loved that particular shirt and I was really stoked when he gave it to me one day.  The shirt though, was in such a poor condition that we dubbed it &#8216;DE AGNOSTIC VOD&#8217;. Which translates into something like \u2018the agnostic rag\u2019.  Nonetheless I wore it during a lot of shows of the \u201904 \u2013 \u201907 era, and I wore it during one of the coolest sets of my life; when Justice played CBGB\u2019s in NYC.  I have really fond memories of that day and that shirt was a part of it, so that\u2019s also why that\u2019s my favorite t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>Best AF record -> Victim In Pain<br  \/>\nMy favorite AF record -> Last Warning, recordings for their \u2018final show\u2019 in cb\u2019s.&#8221;<br  \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vintage One Shirt &#8211; Wim Berchmans tee\" title=\"Vintage One Shirt &#8211; Wim Berchmans tee\" src=\"https:\/\/defunkd.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wim01.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"wim02\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17102\"  \/><br  \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vintage One Shirt &#8211; Wim Berchmans tee\" title=\"Vintage One Shirt &#8211; Wim Berchmans tee\" src=\"https:\/\/defunkd.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wim02.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"wim02\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.defunkd.com\/teetilldeath\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wim02.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.defunkd.com\/teetilldeath\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wim02-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Check out his new bands record over here at <a href=\"http:\/\/store.quadrofoon.com\/Joshuas+Song+-+Jurt+-+722EP\/p276067_1708641.aspx\">Quadrofoon Records<\/a><br  \/>\nCheck out his record label here <a href=\"http:\/\/poweredrecords.com\/news.php\">Powered Records<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this installment of &#8220;One Shirt&#8221; we caught up with Wim Berchmans aka Steif the Positif.
