There are lots of charities out there to pick from, but this one caught my eye right a way. BIG thanks to Nate for checking out Playing for Change and getting Beats+Crates informed. Here’s a quick video to explain Playing for Change. For more information check out PlayingForChange.org or PlayingForChange.com. Thanks you
DKNG
For all you crate diggas there’s a new spot opening up TODAY called Origami Vinyl! It goes by the same name as the record label, which is also owned by the same person. From what I gather on Thrillist, they have all kinds of vinyl. Classic hip hop, underground hip hop, indie rock, and Jazz just to name a few genres. They also have exclusive gear like hats and record bags. I’ll be heading out there a little late to check it all out. You should too. BIG thanks to Nate for shooting me the info.

Today is the start of the Music part of South x SouthWest, and I can’t go (j.o.b.). But, we are blessed to have a man on the inside that’s going to give us the low down. Nate Dog (Nathan Goldman) is headed to Austin to promote his company DKNG and check out some new music. In between he’s going to keep us posted on what’s new. So keep checking back for Nate Dog’s post.
You ask, “what makes Nate the man to do some music reporting?” Well if you’ve been to the Troubadour in LA, you’ve seen DKNG’s handy work. They make custom music posters for the Troubadour and a gang of other stuff. DKNG are becoming the “go-2-guys” in the music industry, so keep your eyes peeled for them.
BIG thanks Nate Dog for hookin it up. And Congrats on winning HBO’s Flight of the Conchords “Really Arty Poster Search.”
Check out what DKNG is up to, and HBO’s Flight of the Conchords.
