This Saturday (May 28th), Stinkweeds is hosting the 6th Annual Short Shorts with Short Leash Local Film Festival, held in the parking lot of Medlock Plaza. Every year, we work with Chris Heck of Theater 13 to feature some of the very talented local filmmakers working around the valley. Every year, this event brings out […]
Kacy & Clayton – Strange Country (New West) There’s no contesting the enduring nature of folk music. Even in between “revivals” and “waves” of folk entering and exiting the zeitgeist, you can always find a wealth of artists carrying the torch for the roots of most modern songs. While it’s usually split between more traditional styles […]
I like to look at this blog as a place of introspection and discovery. When I write a review or share an opinion on a subject, I’m simply sharing the thoughts of a fellow music lover, for those of you who may be interested in the thoughts of someone who spends a lot of time around music. […]
As we enjoy our recent boom of rich culture in the valley, with all the new venues, art spaces, and the patrons to match their capacity, it is important to honor those who paved the way. Over a decade ago, some might have said that Phoenix was a sleepy town. We didn’t have all the big […]

Here are five titles we think will pair nicely with a cool drink and open windows. Michael Nau – Mowing This album […]
A bonus byproduct of the recent big rearrange of our shop is that we now have more room to hold shows! Our lack of space never really stopped us before… In the past, our tiny Central Phoenix store has hosted in-store performances from bands like Wye Oak, Dirty Projectors, Blitzen Trapper and No Age. We were maybe […]
This album is essentially a love note for the disenchanted and morose souls. However, it also has some incredible, fun music on it as well. Made up of pre-war recordings (1917-1935) from the Cajun bayous to Appalachia and all the way across the pond to the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine, the songs on this album are […]
It’s pretty early in the year, so we obviously haven’t gotten a big haul of 2016 releases, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start out the year enjoying some of the albums we might have overlooked in 2015! I do know the next couple of weeks will see some really stellar new releases, so you can […]
