The Album Network has championed its belief that In-Store Play sells new music and breaks new bands. The chart, running from around 1981, developed into a vital barometer of the leading edge on new music sales.
Released to record stores throughout America, these CDs were designed to turn record store owners and their customers on to some very cool music.
This CD – released in April of 1991 – was the first in a series of ‘Tune-Up’ discs and included the Trashcans’ ‘Obscurity Knocks’.
The sleeve notes have this as the TCS second single – oops!

Details is an American monthly men’s magazine (no, not one of those ones). Described as a sort of Vogue for men it has been published since the early 1980s and twice a year includes a free CD.
This one from 1994 includes the Trashcans’ ‘Hayfever’ alongside other artists such as David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Run DMC and ahem, Duran Duran.

Whether you were old school or balancing on the edge of the Scottish music scene there was something for everyone on this fantastic 10-track CD.
Free with the Scotland on Sunday newspaper, it featured 10 outstanding contemporary Scottish bands including Belle and Sebastian, Mull Historical Society, The Delgados, The Proclaimers and Sons & Daughters.
The final track on this promo was Trashcan Sinatras’ ‘Weightlifting’.

I couldn’t agree more.
This eight track custom CD sampler was released via Patio Music – a music and lifestyle company that over the years have brought attention to an eclectic genre of music not usually heard on radio.
Here, keeping company with artists as diverse as N.E.R.D. and Courtney Love, we find the Trashcans and ‘All The Dark Horses’ from the BoBame release ‘Weightlifting EP’.
A song fit for any patio in my opinion.
