The Spits 4th album out now!! On Recess/Thriftstore.
I used to buy Spits records wholesale to give to friends as birthday,xmas,Halloween gifts. Thats how good i think they are.
I also got in the store:
The Spits-(Witch Hunt) LP and 19 Million AC LP’s
All printed on American Apparel. All good button has been pressed.
Wiggle is SCREECHING WEASEL’s 4th full-length and 3rd in the Recess preservation act of all things Weasel. Ok now we really understand that theres a strong Ramones influence. When this one was first released i heard a coupla “Ramones tribute band!” and a coupla “Oh yea?! Lets hear em do “QUESTIONINGLY”!!”. Ok maybe i didnt hear the latter. but still, there’s super new wave hints while still holding onto a tiny shred of the earlier, Crimpshrine-y bits. Their version of Teenage Head’s “AIN’T GOT NO SENSE” rivals the original…in my opinion. The band didn’t find this their best record due to a rush to get a My Brain Hurts follow up and maybe some unfair expectations but i think its one of their best.
And because our Ambassador to The Kids license has not yet expired we give you bonus tracks, never before seen photos (like you care), super buff gatefold jacket, and 4 editions of colored vinyl. Yea… i know!

I will be the first to admit that the Recess online mailorder website was shoddy, at best, in the past. Luckily i’m a wise bast and spent about 65 hours uploading stuff for this new one. I did it for you, Damien! There is tons of radicool features like order history,reviews, permanent cart, etc etc but more importantly there is TONS more stuff!
Hey, i just added a crapload of LP’s and 7″s to the Recess mailorder “Other labels” stuff. Most are records i grew up with and had tons of influence on me like Black Flag, Minutemen, Weirdos, 7 seconds, Velvet Underground etc etc. Plus some newer goodies!
Repressings of Recess vinyl will be coming in shortly also. Bad delays as usual!
The Arrivals-Fat of the Land
The Arrivals-The Joke
The Arrivals-Ballad of Lon Stokes

SCREECHING WEASEL “My Brain Hurts” Gatefold LP (Recess#117)
Part 2 of the Screeching Weasel vinyl preservation effort is my favorite Lookout release. I realize that is a very bold statement considering their catalog housed many amazing releases by The Queers, Green Day, Operation Ivy, Pinhead Gunpowder, Crimpshrine and, of course, the Blatz/Filth split. But My Brain Hurts is that special. I always felt that Screeching Weasel found more in common with The Dickies than The Ramones, and this record is why. Ben Weasel had songwriting talent before this record, but this, I suspect, is the record where he actually realized that himself, without taking the whole thing too seriously. Punk and Rock n Roll are inherently stupid. That’s what makes it sooo good. Although there is plenty of that here, there are also some of the most intelligent lyrics, as well as intelligent hooks. For proof, listen to 3 consecutive songs “Science of Myth”, “What We Hate”, and “Teenage Freakshow”. It gives me goosebumps to think that the band themselves prolly thought they were just making a stupid punk rock record.
“My Brain Hurts” was originally released in 1991 on Lookout Records and is considered by many to be one of the best Screeching Weasel albums. Now re-issued on four different kinds of colored vinyl, 500 of each color! (Clear, White, Orange, & Pink!) Gatefold cover has all-new artwork by Cristy Road.
NOTE! If you order multiple copies you will get different colors if available. If you have a preference you can email me. FIRST 50 ORDERS GET A SCREECHING WEASEL POSTER!!
Audacity-Power Drowning LP white vinyl
I saw these guys on a boat and thought they were the best band i have seen while skimming on the Pacific ocean! From the first few chords they reminded me of Jerrys Kids. Like very early Jerrys Kids,as well as a slew of other early ’80’s hardcore bands, but within 1 minute into a song everything changed and i thought “Now they sound like The Bananas!”. Yea i put a quote on thoughts. so what?! They even do “Dicks Hate Police”. Split release with Burger Records!
Recess#94 Japanther-Don’t Trust Anyone Over 30 DVD $12
The main feature is a psychedelic trip through the puppet universe of Dan Graham.Based on a late 60’s teen film…and why not?! Do not stop there though! Mr.Craig Flipy threw together some hefty bonus footy, like a full feature of Japanther playing the now defunct 4th st Pedro house, Bloomington etc etc et frikken cetra!
