What are you Fat Possum experts' top 5 LPs to check out? I only have one Silver Jews album and have heard nothing else from the label. Into stuff like KOLS, John Vanderslice, garage-y lo fi stuff, singer/songwriter stuff. Not into instrumental math rock-y stuff or scratchy throat post-emo-No-Sleep-style stuf.

you might be thinking of Drag City, since you mentioned Silver Jews. 

 

i would suggest these essentials:

 - Townes Van Zandt "Townes Van Zandt" (70's singer / songwriter)

 - Jay Reatard "Blood Visions" (punk)

 - Bass Drum of Death "GB City" (garage / lo-fi)

 - The Walkmen "Lisbon" (indie-rock)

 - or one of the early records from The Black Keys, like "Thickfreakness" (blues-rock)

 

wild card - Rowland S. Howard "Pop Crimes" (post-punk rock)

just over a week left on the sale.  ALL vinyl is 25%

media mail should be $5 if shipping in the United States. 

 

Is shipping still a billion dollars? That has alway prevented me from ordering when 3 records is like 8 bucks in shipping.

The entire Fat Possum webstore is 25% off right now.  The Black Keys, Townes Van Zandt, Wavves, Youth Lagoon, T. Rex, Dinosaur Jr, and many many more.
