It’s festival season! Now this is just a personal preference, and in no way do I mean to diminish anyone else’s experience, but for me, festival season is less about the festivals and more about the amazing bands that are crisscrossing the country, playing more intimate shows in a setting that is maybe a little […]
Maybe it’s the warming weather, or the steady ease of the first 1/4 of the year, but you might find that all 5 of these albums have a lot of similarities. We always try to mix it up, for these reviews. But, that’s not so much the case this time. I can’ explain it. Sometimes […]
Saturday, April 21st will be the 11th annual Record Store Day, and as with every year, Stinkweeds will be going all out for the party! As always, you can expect that we’ll order tons of the exclusive releases and have them ready, organized and available early that morning, making Stinkweeds one of the best spots […]
Once again, we dredge the bottom of a sea of vinyl to bring hidden treasures to the surface on another installment of Alphabetized Into Obscurity: A Journey Into The Unknown. The Neon Philharmonic – ST [Warner Bros. 1969] There is no shortage of lost and forgotten psych pop bands from the 60s. We could probably […]

What is it about Cassettes?! No other form of music media is so polarizing than the cassette tape. We started upping the stock on our cassettes a few years ago and the reactions we’ve seen range from sneering questions as to why we carry them, to ecstatic joy in finding that yes, there’s a place […]
We’ve run out of room on our New Release wall to feature all of the amazing albums that have come out in the past 3 weeks, so we thought we would share some of our favorites here, just to make sure nothing gets lost in the goldmine of the last few weeks. Check out our […]
Moses Sumney – Aromanticism [Jagjaguwar] We are entering an era of music that will be defined by it’s inclusiveness. Genres are being bent and intermingled to the point of being unrecognizable. I’ll admit to letting the more purist side of my taste get the best of me, often putting my foot down, stating “just commit […]
Are we in danger of losing our sense of exploration? Will the convenience of information at our fingertips dull our courage to reach into the unknown. That same courage that it takes to walk into a restaurant without consulting Yelp might walk a fine line with our courage to peer into dark corners, where unknown […]
