Kevin: Bienvenidos, Waxy

The Internet is littered with music commentary, which is why we want to try something different.

Waxy’s Denver-based co-founder, Travis, and I had been exchanging emails for years now about music. It just felt like a natural evolution to introduce some of the music— particularly vinyl— we had been emailing about to a broader audience.

Beyond sharing some of our picks for new music and good vinyl stories though, I want this to be a space to highlight cool things in general: clothes, cocktails, beer, strains of legal marijuana (hey, we both live in weed-friendly states), whatever. Waxy should be a place where you can come to escape the bullshit.

Things to know: I don’t own an insane vinyl collection. I don’t pedal in obscure foreign LPs. Basically, I just like casually collecting vinyl and the reasons why are pretty simple: it’s fun.

So we’re going to keep the bar to entry pretty low here. You’re going to hear from Travis, myself, and hopefully others, about music we love and other things shaping our lives. We’re going to try new things while we’re navigating the reins at Waxy. If you have ideas or want to help, the inbox is always open.

More than anything though, we just want to create a place where everyone feels like they’re welcome to participate in the love of music and culture. Welcome to Waxy.
