Well it's going to be a mellow Tuesday as compared to the last few weeks but we've still got some goodies.
Out at midnight tonight we have for you:
Grant-Lee Phillips - Little Moon
The Raincoats - S/T (Reissue of their 1979 debut)
Thao with The Get Down Stay Down - Know Better Learn Faster
Sole & The Skyrider Band - Plastique
So, my advice for tonight is go to The Echo and witness the wonderful Correatown on the second night of their residency along with Square On Square and Summer Darling.
Then come over at midnight and rock it Origami style!
Stay warm.

Tonight @ the Origami Vinyl Loft...GOSPEL GOSSIP!!!
We are very excited to announce Gospel Gossip from Minnesota @ 7pm tonight! We will also have some free Tecate for those of age...
Here's what peeps have been saying!
Pitchfork Media
"certainly flawed"
Redefine Magazine
"Sing Into My Mouth is full of whimsical bridges that burst into a dancing climax. This album will keep you on your feet or, at the very least, will keep you smiling. The band is so in sync that the album seems flawless."
Space City Rock
"It's a total absence of regard for boundaries but still very defined in what it is. That's the overall feeling of Sing Into My Mouth, that it defies its own shoegazer label to be something that can be truly awesome"
Bitch Magazine
"It's fuzzy, pretty, and uberrhythmic—that midtempo, incredibly danceable pop that Fugazi and Nation of Ulysses popularized in Washington D.C., in the early '90s. Lead singer Sarah Nienaber does a remarkable job evoking her forebears."
Mustang Daily
"Listening to Gospel Gossip is like finding a 20 in the wash. Actually, scratch that - it's like finding a kilo of Columbian non-dairy creamer in the wash."
The Big Takeover
"Sarah Nienaber's vocals are somewhere between a Mazzy Star delicacy and a Siouxsie Sioux sexuality. Now picture those vocals floating on a mix of goth wave tribal roll and No Wave noise distortion, but tied together in a melodic-pop picnic basket. It's hard to think of anything that's more fun to listen to right now."
City Pages - Best New Band
"Drawing on old-soul pop awareness they must have accrued in their past lives, these wunderkinds have made a high-wattage debut that harkens to the finer, headier days when brainiacs like the Velvet Underground and New Order were called party music."
Reveille Magazine
"Most great albums require multiple spins in order to truly grasp the scope of where they're going. Gospel Gossip’s debut, Sing Into My Mouth is no exception. Its 13 tracks range from well-developed songs to short Casio-keyboard drumbeat ditties to gritty, distortion-based instrumentals. Ultimately, the 45 minutes of shoegaze fuzz from these Northfield-based musicians is filled with promise."
City Pages - Gospel Gossip Interstate Transport and Shoegaze, Ltd.
"Sing into My Mouth is an auspicious debut, a record that feels like a harbinger of bigger, hairier, more sprawling albums to come, and thus a record that future fans can hold up as the beginning of something brilliant, should it work out that way."
Star Tribune
"...the quartet has become yet another band of shockingly young newcomers playing refreshingly ageless rock music..."
MFR
"But one can clearly tell from the life and energy bursting from these tracks that Sing Into My Mouth is anything but complacent. These songs start off in a simple fashion and then slowly, steadily, they add more parts and melodies until the inevitable anthemic climax. By that point, whether it's the build-up to synth lines in "Revolution In Physics" and "Wind" or the jangly coda of "Shadows Are Bent", one feels as if they, with the band, are engaging in what alcoholic musicians might call a sonic moment of clarity."

Parson Red Heads tour blog
Hey Origamites!
Sam here. In addition to working for this fine store, I play in a local band called The Parson Red Heads. Here is a somewhat silly picture of us:
Tomorrow we go not-so-local...we are leaving to tour the east coast for two weeks! I've been invited to keep a tour blog on ye ole Origami blog, in order that I may keep in touch with my friends and neighborhood, and to share any interesting stories that may transpire out on the road of rock and roll.
Well, more folk, actually. This tour's a three-piece edition of the Parsons- I'm playing guitar and singing, so is Evan, and Evan's wife and drummer extraordinaire Brette is playing percussion and adding harmonies. It's quite a different sound than the normal show, but I am happy we get to tour this way because I think this line-up really warrants its own showcasing. The harmonies are really brought to the fore and we get to show a softer side of the music and still have a lot of (quieter) fun. And away we go!
Our send off show was last night. We had the privilege of opening for Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 at Spaceland! His bandmates were stellar players and great human beings (including Peter Buck on guitar!). I even jumped onstage with them, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings for the Soft Boys classic "I Wanna Destroy You" and played tambourine! What a moment!
Tomorrow we are flying to Newark and beginning the official adventure. Please wish us safe travels, and I will type to you soon.
Take care, give care,
Sam

"Best New Back-To-The Future Vinyl Record Store" according to LA Weekly
LA Weekly has just put out their annual Best of LA issue and Origami made the cut! Man we are just overjoyed that they think so highly of our little shop. Here's what they had to say...
"It kind of boggles (and tickles) the mind that in the tech-infected 21st century there would exist this category. Seems like only yesterday the major record labels conspired to destroy the LP in order to profit off of the more lucrati— er, better sounding, compact disc. So, as vinyl enthusiasts, it is with great joy (and irony) that we celebrate the best new vinyl store in L.A., Origami on Sunset, as we dance on the grave of the CD. Yes, there are still more Starbucks outlets in Westwood than there are fresh vinyl record stores in the metropolitan area, but the gems that have sprouted — and remain — are thrilling. Freak Beat in the Valley, Vacation in East Hollywood, Territory BBQ & Records, Fingerprints in Long Beach, the jumbo and all-consuming Amoeba in Hollywood, and Origami in Echo Park are the music lover's equivalent of an antiquarian bookstore. A tiny shop just down the street from the Time Travel Mart, Origami's about the size of Amoeba's entryway, with a selection the size of Amoeba's soundtrack section. But within those racks are rows and rows of new LPs from around the world and across time. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band's oeuvre sits near German proto-punks Can, alongside new squares from Mika Miko, HEALTH, Silversun Pickups and Rainbow Arabia. A little bookshelf contains the week's flyer population, cellophaned LPs line the walls, each a nice-sized work of art. When it comes to vinyl shops, it turns out, bigger isn't always better."
Thanks Guys!!!
