Origami Vinyl
1816 W Sunset Blvd, Echo Park; 213.413.3030
Though rec-league sports ostensibly offer a way to stay fit
and meet new people, they actually end up being an hour of
wheezing before you retreat into a pitcher of domestic beer.
For a shop from a guy who got a little more out of his
leisure, check Origami Vinyl.
Opening tomorrow, Origami's a new vinyl-and-more shop from
the owner of the tiny, same-named indie label, who cunningly
enlisted members of his rec-league soccer team to help him
out, from aiding in the construction, to designing the sign,
to contributing stuff to sell. The inside's
minimalist-stark, with a massive line drawing of
intersecting polygons surrounded by stacks of new records,
ranging from classic hip hop (NWA's Straight Outta Compton)
and just-out indie-rock (Black Keys' Dan Auerbach's solo
debut), to jazz like Coltrane and underground rap from DJ
Madlib, whose [ADVERB] mastery of the turntable [SYNONYM FOR
GAME] makes other DJs feel like dirty [PLURAL NOUN]. They're
also hawking a limited amount of exclusive gear, most made
by the owner's soccer mates: the guys behind artsy t-shirt
company Viper Black provided shirts and tote bags emblazoned
with the store's name, logo, and silhouettes of the artist,
and KILLSPENCER contributed a messenger/record bag, dieseled
up with military-grade buckle-on handles, and crafted from
canvas originally used as a collared officer's "Army cape"
-- which is far less grand and glorious now that it's
hauling your battalion of ELO.
Origami'll also stock some turntables, and'll soon act as
the sole daytime box office for Spaceland, The Echo, and The
Echoplex. Tomorrow night, there's an opening party, with 10%
off vinyl, music from electro-piano-poppers wait.think.fast
and singer/songwriter Nico Stai, plus an open bar -- because
they understand that shopping is all about an hour of
wheezing through aisles before retreating into a bottle of
another man's Swedish vodka.
