Hello all! As this is the blog for my boutique record label, Sidedown Audio, I will be talking about music.
After a band meeting down in Wicker Park last night, as I was waiting for the bus, I happened to glance into the overloaded trash can next to me. Lo and behold, I found two items of interest!
The first was a sampler CD from Vapor. Labeled “Stacey’s Spring Sampler 2009″ and wafer sealed. I’m not going to say too much about who was on the sampler, because it’s going to be the subject of the next few episodes of Downcast, but since Metric, Death, and Camera Obscura are in the mix, I have high hopes for the bands I don’t recognize. We’ll find out!
The other item was an absolutely beautiful letterpress business card for Waveplant, the sound/music project of Jeol Corelitz. First off, why was this in the trash? Music aside, it’s a fantastic business card… certainly interesting enough to warrant checking out the website.
Second, after spending ten seconds on his site, I was hooked. Beautiful music, obviously good eye for design. GO and click on some red dots. Listen to “Boy”, it’s incredible.
I rarely expect to find music in the trash, but hey, I’m just lucky that way.
