The record
Title: Various - Fat Music Vol. IV: Life in the Fat Lane
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1999, Punk, Skate Punk Melodic Hardcore, San Francisco, California 10/26
Condition: New (BC) | Members: Various Artists (N/A)
Cultural Facts:
- Cheap on Purpose: Fat Wreck deliberately made these compilations ridiculously inexpensive so kids could discover a whole label's worth of bands without gambling money on 18 separate records. Contemporary coverage listed Life in the Fat Lane at only $3.98, making the sampler itself a recruiting tool for the punk scene. Lollipop Magazine
- Not Just Leftovers: Volume IV included a rare NOFX song plus otherwise unreleased material from Avail and No Use for a Name, so serious fans had a reason to buy it even if they already owned the regular albums. The 18-track lineup also stretched from California bands to Australia's Frenzal Rhomb, England's Snuff and Germany's Wizo. Fat Wreck Chords
- Punk Designed Punk: The graphic design was credited to Sergie Loobkoff, guitarist for influential Bay Area emo/post-hardcore band Samiam. Even the artwork came from someone inside the same underground world rather than an outside advertising firm. musicbrainz.org

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
