Now Available: The History of Idiocy.. The Best of 2002-2008, a two disc, 29 track collection available for purchase at the Trash Records store, or as free MP3 downloads

The History of Idiocy is a collection of some of the greatest moments of the last 6 years of Dumbass' decade-plus career.

The History of Idiocy brings you twenty nine tracks of the best of Dumbass on two discs. Spanning the last six years of Dumbass' fourteen year career, this collection presents the listener with Dumbass at their strange and beautiful best. From live performances, experiments with space and time, computer programming to pounding on rocks, and sitting at a piano, The History of Idiocy runs the gamut of recording techniques and musical styles.

This collection brings together some of the best songs from the years 2002-2008, easily the band's most fertile and boundary pushing period. The songs contained in this collection travel across the spectrum from noise experiments to hard, loud industrial music, to melodic love songs. These are not only the best songs of this period, but in many cases, the best songs of Dumbass' entire career.

You can download the entire thing at www.dumbassmusic.com

10 Years of Trash

2008-04-05T15:52:00.000-07:00

Trash Records turns 10 years old in 2008. It began as a way to distribute and promote Dumbass and various side projects.
It has turned into a place where independent art in a wide range of media is spread around the world.
Our collaborators and contributors are a very, very cool bunch of people, and I would like to thank them.
I would also like to thank those who support and tune in, whether they be interested in music, reading, watching, looking, or whatever.

Its been an interesting ride.
Here's to 10 more years!
