It’s November! And, as much as we love our colder months, there is also the stress of added obstacles of holiday shopping, snowbirds, travel plans, family visits, pulling out the sweaters and jackets, waiting for the car to warm up, shoveling snow! Maybe there won’t be any snow shoveling. But, all of this can make […]
Once again, we explore the unknown corners of our record store to find the lost and forgotten. What horrors lurk beyond the Pixies reissues and Thee Oh Sees albums OH SO MANY THEE OH SEES ALBUMS! SERIOUSLY, DO THEY EVER TAKE A DAY OFF! Follow the candleabra and stay close to the flame, while we […]
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.

It didn’t take long for other publications to follow suit. So, we thought we would get in on the fun and list Stinkweeds’ 150 + Favorite Female […]
With the 20th Anniversary release of Radiohead’s Ok Computer OKNOTOK we wanted to share some other albums that turn 20 this year, that are still worth all the hype. While top 40 radio was bombarding listeners with boy bands and The Spice Girls, some truly incredible releases came out in 1997, here are some of our […]
Froth – Outside (Briefly) [Wichita Recordings] Froth was brought to our attention when we received a message from the band inquiring if they could play an in-store set at Stinkweeds before their slot at VIVA PHX on March 11th.
