What is Goofin' Records?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but everytime SY releases vinyl albums, I always read that they will release it on their own label, Goofin'. I know about SYR, Ecstatic Peace, and Smells Like Records, but what is Goofin'? Does the band have another label?

Yeah, and when I search, Goofin is apparently a Finnish rockabilly label? where's the website for the sY label?

"Goofin" has been SY's somewhat unofficial label for 15 years now...the first Goofin' release was 4 Tunna Brix, followed by Hold That Tiger...Those were GOO01 and GOO02 respectively, I'm not sure where they picked up again after that, it seems like now it's their vinyl imprint rather than their bootleg imprint, but ... yeah. Goofin'.

I think "Goofin" is supposed to be a play on the word "Geffen"... correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're right...

Goo + Geffen = Goofin
