Hidden art at the Wedge and Robot LOVE

I've hidden art in plain sight at two of my favorite shops in Minneapolis. One is my favorite food co-op called the Wedge and the other is a store selling designer toys and other great art, called Robot LOVE. Those of you familiar with Uptown, Minneapolis will recognize these areas quite well.

While the move to North East Minneapolis has been a fun adventure, I will admit I missed living on Lyndale Ave.

It's always fun to insert free art into the places you love.

Free Records, Comix & music

Today, I was strolling down Lyndale in Minneapolis on my way to vote. I stopped at SOO gallery, and one of my favorite stores Robot Love. In the front I saw a promotional CD called I Heart Comix Scion CD Sampler Volume 21. This promotional CD came with 2 CDs and an impressive case. I popped disc 1 in the CD player and was damn impressed. The high tempo nearly rave music featured some great unheard beats and I dug each song. Disc one has 8 songs and disc two has nineteen more.

Once I got to the church I vote at, I had the Protokill- Moving Forward blasting, and the preschool kids walking to the playground were getting into it as well. I am now listening to disc 2 and so far it has another great mix of songs. I have not explored this genre very deeply, however, it effects me a great deal. I find the songs very motivating.



As you can see from the picture, this is the best free promotional mix tape I have ever found. If you enjoy techno, rave, or fast paced music you need to check them out, I Heart Comix. The comics section is coming soon, and based on the CD art, looks to be very interesting. The music can be sampled on their myspace page and I am sure you could get a promotional CD from them if you sent them a message. It may even be available for download somewhere. I strongly recommend it. This will be my new art creating soundtrack for the next week or so.
