Well, usually we put this out in March or April, but 2020 was quite a year, and the beginning of 2021 has been something as well…
Nonetheless, here it is in all its glory, the 2020 Trash Records Dot Org Annual Report. It’s full of visual art, writing, and info about Trash Records music.
2008 marked the 20 year anniversary of Trash Records.
Here is a playlist for your listening pleasure from the first 10 of those years. It’s not comprehensive (there are bands from those 10 years not represented), nor is it fully representative of each of the bands featured (some of them have done things that sound quite different from the songs here); it is, rather, a little taste of some of the things we did in those first 10 years. It’s not a “best-of,” as lots of best songs were surely left off of the list. I chose fast here; making a series of quick decisions about a set of stand-out songs that work together as a play-list and introduction. (They are culled from MP3s made at different times and are therefore at different bit-rates.) Enjoy!
