Making this list I started thinking to myself: “Damn! I’m so
lucky to live in a city where cool shit happens EVERY NIGHT!” Sure I’m tired
all the time and have no more money because of this place, but it’s TOTALLY
worth it. Los Angeles rules!!

This week starts with an indie-rock legend gracing
The Smell. RedRumsey – AKA Vern Rumsey of Unwound (!!!) – is playing one of our
favorite local all-ages DIY spaces alongside Rearranged Face (members of the
Mae Shi and Residual Echoes), David Scott Stone, and Kraig Grady. RedRumsey
will also be dropping by Origami this Wednesday for an early in-store
performance at 3 PM. Ditch work and join us for that one!

Sufjan Stevens Silent Listening Party @ Origami, 6pm
When we launched the pre-order for the limited clear vinyl version of Sufjan’s new album ‘Carrie & Lowell,’ we were blown away by the response! We’re really excited to team up with Asthmatic Kitty Records to bring you a Silent Listening Party of the album. These are happening at very select record stores around the country so this is kind of a big deal! If you haven’t pre-ordered the album, you can do it here or in-store and we’ll automatically add you to the RSVP list for this really special event. When you show up, we’ll give you cordless headphones to listen to the album on your own while you peruse or just hang out. This will be the only way to hear the album before the internet gets it’s grubby hands on it, and before it comes out on 3/31! Space is limited, so you must pre-order the album to reserve your headphones!
