Ever wondered how you can create an inclusive music community that stands against gatekeeping? Join us as we chat with Kris Howland from Heady Wax Fiends in the studio about his inspiring journey in forming a music appreciation group and record club that celebrates equality and accessibility. Kris opens up about the vibrant music and art scenes in cities like Portland and Denver, and shares the core values that drive Heady Wax Fiends. From treating all members equally to making the community welcoming for everyone, including those with disabilities, Kris's insights highlight the profound impact of fostering a supportive environment free from elitism.
This club supports independent artists like Kendra Morris and Cutler Station by covering the costs of vinyl mastering and pressing, enabling these artists to distribute their music without the need for a major label. We delve into the importance of relationships and respect in the music industry, demonstrating how genuine connections can lead to unexpected opportunities and mutual growth and we get into the joy of discovering new music and the role of vinyl in sustaining the art form.
Finally, we reflect on the emotional connections and transformative power of music, from life-changing encounters with bands like Phish to the emotional impact of iconic albums. We explore the immersive experience of listening to vinyl records and the innovative concept of OBIs and uncut hype stickers that enhance the vinyl experience. This chat is a celebration of some of our favorite music memories, and the profound influence of albums on contemporary artists, and underscores the importance of creating a safe and inclusive community for music lovers. Tune in for an episode brimming with passion, innovation, and the unifying power of music.
