In a normal year, we’d usually have a “5 favorites” for every month. In a year where our little record shop has become a record mailorder, curbside pickup and appointment shopping retail outlet, and instead of having 1 Record Store Day, we now have three, some of those months can just slide right past us. […]

This month, instead of our usual 5 favorites, we’re going to give you ten, because we’re sure you could use some good tunes, right about now. Also, this was a hell of month for new releases! Keep up the good stuff, everybody. We’ve been really proud to talk to and see so many caring individuals […]

Becca Mancari – The Greatest Part [Captured Tracks] The Greatest Part is a welcomed addition to the rapidly growing trend of what I can only describe as slacker rock, however I’m not in love with that description, because there’s so much more going on than the “lazy vibes” the descriptor might suggest. Others I would include […]

The Stinkweeds Blog has kept a pretty strong streak of “Five Favorites” over the past few years, consistently throwing together the best five albums to come out every month.

  Allah-las – Lahs [Mexican Summer] Admittedly, this one has more of a “summer vibe.” But what is a Phoenix Fall but a North East Summer. Lahs is a cool breeze on a hot day. It is the yogic, outward breath, releasing the dread of 115 degree days. It’s beachy vibes with a little spaced out […]
