41 Gorgeous Blocks - Anyhoo... Some Songs From ‘99 to Now
Mom’s Basement Records, in collaboration with Something To Do Records, has revisited the legacy of 41 Gorgeous Blocks with Anyhoo: Some Songs From ‘99 To Now, a retrospective collection that highlights the band’s recordings from 1999 to 2010. Along with fan favorites from earlier releases, Anyhoo features three newly recorded tracks mixed by Davi Pacote. The CD edition offers an additional treat for collectors, including five bonus tracks unavailable on streaming platforms such as Spotify.
The album artwork, consistent with the band’s long‑standing visual aesthetic, features the distinctive illustrations of Bobby Riggle, the late brother of vocalist and guitarist Matt Riggle. The two brothers previously played together in the band Ed Banky’s Car, which dissolved following the sudden and tragic death of Bobby Riggle. In the aftermath of his brother’s passing, Matt Riggle went on to form 41 Gorgeous Blocks.
Also worth noting, the album cover’s pea‑ (or puke‑) green color serves as a deliberate homage to Somery, the 1991 compilation album by California punk icons the Descendents. This connection carries even deeper meaning, as two members of 41 Gorgeous Blocks co‑directed Filmage: The Story of Descendents/ALL, the acclaimed 2014 documentary.
