Can't Kids - There's Never Enough Butter

Here at Fork and Spoon Records, the three of us are extremely proud of where we are from (for better or for worse).  For well over a decade we have been infatuated with the sounds that people in Columbia, SC were making.  As a present to you for Thanksgiving, we spent a couple of weeks digging through nostalgia for tracks to share with you guys.  We trimmed a fairly extensive list down to 13 songs that have influenced us in some shape or form and wrote a little something about each.  Read, listen and enjoy!

Love,

Aaron, Chris, and Jordan

1. Little Pools of Brightness - "Summer Waves"
"Hardy and John were always the sweetest people and I was excited that my friends were playing such awesome music.  Their bass player was always kind of mean to me and I don't think I ever really knew any of their drummers,  but I'd lurk at their practice space a lot.  They were in college at the end of me being in high school so Hardy would get me drunk on cider at his dorm room then we'd go do radio shows.  Good times.  I love Little Pools of Brightness." - JB

2. The Heist and the Accomplice - "Violent Type"
"One time Chaz Bundick called my house and I, assuming he was wanting to go skating or play music or something, was surprised when he asked to speak with my little brother.  As it turned out, Chaz's previous band was calling it quits and he and Patrick were forming a new band with another guy from their school named Dylan and they wanted Cameron to play drums.  Those four boys ended up writing a ton of amazing songs, getting incredibly rad at their instruments, and playing a ton of super fun shows." - CG

3. No Way Jose! - "More Bitches Than A Kennel"
"All three of us were in this band with our friend Thomas.  The way the band operated influenced how we approach running the label and how we approach music in general.  After years and years it still sticks as something I can look back on fondly and am thankful for." - CG

4. Insult To Injury - "Sedative"
"Insult to Injury was a band I learned about through cassette pirating of WUSC shows.  I saw them several times at 27/58 and Vets Hall and then got to see them off at their joint farewell show with the Megaments on the flat bottom of a mini ramp that was in a shed in someones backyard.  That same mini ramp resurfaced years later when people who skated unknowingly moved into that same house (apparently the landlord never bothered tearing the ramp down!)." - CG

5. Self - "Brown Eyes"
" In high school I would learn a lot about upcoming shows and local bands by taping particular radio shows off of WUSC.  I would then dub all my favorite tracks from that weeks show onto an ever growing mix tape.  This is how I first learned about Self. The first time I knew of them playing live happened to also be their farewell show. I had to beg my parents to drive me all the way out to the Vets Hall on Bluff road on a school night.  I agreed to be in the parking lot to get picked up at 11pm so I only caught the first half of their set.  I got their CD, turned all my friends onto their music, and we were all able to catch them a few years later for their reunion show and I got to see that one in its entirety." - CG

6. Jacob and I - "Twelve"
"Jacob's intense drumming, Brooks'  mathematical bass-playing, and Austin being one of the sweetest people on the face of this planet… well… I love this band. And thanks to a Google Maps commercial more than a few folks in Columbia, SC were able to hear them.  I used to spend a lot of time at 2/3rd of this bands house.  A lot of cartoons were watched and there was a bong made out of a baseball bat called the Louisville Bubbler." - JB

7. Lights For Nero - "Frog X Cannot Move Because It Is In Fact, An Ex-Frog"
"I think I'm the only person I know that has a copy of Light's For Nero's first album, and I had to pretty much nag Mat Saxon over and over again until he just happened to have one in his car one day. I'm glad he did because it has some really amazing and raw recordings of songs that they re-recorded for their next album, and this (one of my favorites) that was never redone." - AG

8. The Microwaves - "Barcelona"
"The only recordings I have other than this one of the Microwaves is a Christmas EP and a bunch of really lo-fi acoustic songs where you can't really understand the words.  The big mishmash of pop culture, politics, and wit is what makes the Microwaves so memorable. It was also made up of three incredibly nice people (Zander lives in NYC, Ivy in Austin, and Andy in San Francisco). They were also my dad's favorite local band." - AG

9. The Kerouacs - "Saturday"
" I remember riding in Jordan's car once, listening to a mix he had burned and hearing a bunch of bands for the first time.  On that mix were Neutral Milk Hotel, Archers of Loaf, and then a live recording of another band I was not yet familiar with.  Enjoying the track thoroughly, I asked who it was and anticipated the name of yet another early 90's indie rock band.  I was blown away when he told me it was Pat Wall's new band.  I couldn't believe that one of our friends was writings songs that good.  I'm sure still to this day "Saturday" holds some kind of record at WUSC for most plays." - CG

10. Guyana Punchline - "Skate The State"
"This probably isn't my favorite Guyana Punchline song (though it is still really awesome).  But when they played at the Dutch Fork Community Center with 9 Shocks Terror, the girl that booked this show punched me square in the face right after this song started.  Not on purpose.  Just in a flailing mess of everyone having fun.  And she was the "hot older girl that worked at the record store," so I just quietly bled from the sidelines the rest of the set semi-stoked that the hot older record store girl punched me in the face." - JB

11. From Safety To Where - "Failure And Remembrance"
"I had seen From Safety To Where so many times, both from inside and outside of the venues.  I could tell my taste in music was maturing as I grew to like them.  At first I was all, "this isn't the punk rock I know (pop punk/hardcore)… this is weird…" then I realized they were really really rad.  When I was in Alaska The Tiger we covered this song at a show.  Stephen (the guitarist from this band) was there, and a couple of times when I ran into him he would bring it up and seemed stoked.  That made me happy because it was hard as shit to even slightly mimic what he played… talented dudes…" - JB

12. Alaska The Tiger - "Black Sky, Motherfucker"
"Three of my favorite people making some of Columbia's best music. Matt Kennedy's voice is so beautiful and this song is perfect to me." - AG

13. Orgone Accumulator - "OAOAOAO"
"Orgone Accumulator was a group that came out of an eclectic scene stylistically standing alone.  I feel like their approach inspired a lot of the folks in our community (very very much including myself).  I still listen to them like the album came out yesterday." - JB
