It Ain’t Just the Clothes
I spent the evening at Neumo’s (a club in Seattle) dancing to local hip hop group the Blue Scholars. What did I wear, you ask? Well, my organic cotton sweatshirt by Eco-ganik, of course. (It was surprisingly easy to dance in, and I felt totally comfortable moving in it. Plus, because it’s so well-made, I wasn’t worried about pulling too hard on the seams while dancing around like an idiot.)
While checking out the merch counter, one of the people in my entourage – who shall remain nameless for legal reasons – said he could ZIP me the Blue Scholars’ music so I wouldn’t have to buy it. That brings me back to the eco-conscious thing, though: there are a few ways for me to get my music, and when it come to a local group, buying at the show makes the most sense. Here’s why:
If you’ve got the cash, it’s obviously the best way to go. Right?
A question: who is your favorite local band/group/artist? It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what style of music it is. My interests are pretty eclectic…so link me!

I completely agree about buying merch at shows. Support the little guy!
And since you asked, I will link you to some of my friends’ bands that I enjoy a lot! I am pretty fortunate to be friends with some brilliant musicians.

My favorite band hands down is Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers. They opened up for Matt Wertz a couple years ago and they instantly hooked me. I managed to see them 5 times in one year I believe and their shows never disappoint. I bought one album at Best Buy but have bought every single one of their others at their shows, as well as shirts and stickers, etc. They are not a “local” band for me since I live in Ann Arbor, but they visit here and Chicago enough that I get my fix. I am currently trying to get tix to their show April 3 where they will be opening for OAR…just no luck winning them off the radio yet!
