Downtime: Downtime: A Blog (About A Night At The Lost Leaf)

Whats up world,
2010 looks to be a promising year in music and the arts, and Arizona's music scene is definitely no exception. We saw some of the best musical displays in years come from the middle of a near great depression. As we all know, hard times inevitably lead to a creative renaissance in which we all learn to use the coping mechanisms found in the arts to keep our heads above water as we push along into better and better days. I'm fairly certain I can speak for everyone involved with Downtime when I say that finding those gems of music, both new and old, which remind you of the power such an art-form has on the human condition is an amazing feeling. Being able to share those gems with our friends, acquaintances, and the rest of the motherloving world is even more amazing.

Since this year is undoubtedly going to be epic in all aspects of life, we decided to do are part in helping to document it in the form of this blog. Now in addition to sharing the experiences of our local scene with one another, we get to share with all of you our favorite music, film, art, fashion, and whatever else we find culturally relevant. We're excited as shit about this, and we hope you are too...

Before I leave this first post I've gotta plug everything so it's outta the way and we can move on to other things... Just one last friendly reminder that we have an amazing Tuesday night at The Lost Leaf in downtown Phoenix every week with residents Ellery, Hartbreaks, Dopple Gang, and all sorts of special guests. So here we go...

Make sure to find us on Facebook and please suggest that your friends become fans as well...

Find us on Twitter...

And make sure to spread the word about our night and come party with us every Tuesday. That's it. Relatively painless right....

Might as well go ahead and start the giving. This last Tuesday at Downtime: A Night At The Lost Leaf the homie STLB 3 of the Dopple Gang crew gave me his newest mix of 45 funk joints. Since i just uploaded it I figured I'd let you in on the jam since he only had 5 copies the other night.
