Due to real life concerns, posting has been light of late, so I thought I'd make it up to you with something special. Recess was without a doubt my favorite label of the 90's, and this box set shows why. A lot of fun, a lot of fuck you's, a lot of hooks, and not a lot of production. Fucking perfect. That Annie & Candy Clutz tune is tits.
I didn't see this anywhere else online (Volume 1 is available at this cool website. Thanks, you handsome devil!), and I will consider it a failure if this doesn't become the most downloaded thing I've ever posted (the leader, btw, is Dillinger Four "Girlfriends/Bubblegum" with 345).
Also, go buy some shit at Recess Records. Todd's been doing God's work for two decades now.
So, we cool?

given "portage" is a toss-away propagandhi song, i'd question the prominent hashtag. but, hells yeah... this comp is pretty great. i still have the box with all the extra goodies that came with it. like a napkin or something. ha!
ReplyDeletehope the "real life concerns" are good things...
ReplyDeletethanks for posting this. such a great label. dunno that it's gonna knock D4 off the throne, but it'll be up there, methinks.
Ha, yeah I know, tagging the propagadhi track was a cheap, blatant attempt at twitter-trolling new readers. Didn't work!
ReplyDeleteSome good news, some bad news, but all of it stressful.
I love Black Fork, thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteportage la prairie really isn't a great place to visit, in case anyone was wondering. great comp, thanks for posting!
