As 2023 came to a close yesterday I realized that I couldn’t remember exactly which year I started Minimum Table Stacks, the blog nor the label. I’ve been fortunate enough to see some of my releases appear in the countless…

Better Late Than Never…. Smelly Feet “Smelly Neu Pollution” LP out now
If you’re reading this here you probably have some connection elsewhere to my Instagram/Twitter etc and you already know: What once was my blog is now my record label. Like having a child a little over a year ago: you…
Minimum Table Stacks Presents: Dollar Bin Dandies™ featuring: Mudhead “The Jumbo Sound Of Mudhead” 7″ (self-released, US, 1988)
Dollar Bin Dandies are great for stocking up on in case you need a last minute gift or the loan shark you owe money to happens to love obscure pre-1999 independent rock music so I advise you make a little…
Yet Another ‘Dollar Bin Dandies’: Space Dust “Cool Car” 7″ (18 Wheeler, US, 1994)
New Zealand “sloppy psych rock band” (their words) Space Dust’s debut 7″ was released in 1994 via Tom Scharpling’s New Jersey-based 18 Wheeler label. In case you weren’t buying vinyl-only releases by New Zealand indie bands in the early to…
“I didn’t get where I am today by worryin’ about how I’d feel tomorrow.” – Ron White… Bagpipe Operation “Little Twitch” 7″ (City Center, US, 1992)
Not too long ago I saw someone whose taste in music I really respect talkin’ smack on an internet website about some tunes I’d previously waxed ecstatic about on this very blog and I was kinda taken aback at how…
“Labor Omnia Vincit (Labour Conquers All Things)” – Oklahoma’s State Motto… Steve Hayes “Made In Tulsa” LP, (Aaframbia, US, 1980)
When it comes to record collecting, I was pretty late to the game with 60’s-70’s psych/folk/garage and everything in between. Coming from a background where there was never a shortage of obscure punk waiting to be discovered, the thought of…
Dollar Bin Dandies Special Edition TRIPLE THREAT: the Prehensile Monkeytailed Skink 7″s.
I’ve always loved bands whose entire output consisted of nothing but 7″s. A posthumous anthology LP collecting said 7″s plus maybe a comp track or unreleased song or demo is not only fine, but encouraged. It’s no doubt difficult to…
Dollar Bin Dandies: Dynamic Truths “You Take It All” 7″ (Merge Records, 1998)
While we can all agree that the greatest release of all time on Merge Records is The Fuckers “QuickCash” 7″, the debut 7″ and sole release by Richmond, VA’s Dynamic Truths is definitely a close second. The band was the…
Dollar Bin Dandies: Art Thieves 7″ (HoZac, 2009)
I may have jinxed myself when I subscribed to the original Sub Pop Singles Club. I think the first record I got in the mail was the AmRep “Smells Like Smoked Sausages” 2×7″ comp or maybe the L7 single and…
Dollar Bin Dandies: White “This Is A Black-Owned Business” 7″ (Behemoth Records, 1998)
As the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” and I thought I’d take the time to highlight some records I love that’re often floatin’ around for next to nothing. Some of this stuff might not be easy…
