Blue Sky Beginnings
The
l a i r o Edit About a year ago (actually a year and one month this week) inklings of Blue Sky started to take shape on Tumblr.com as I began making aural notes of bands I considered to be essential, random songs overheard that stopped me in my tracks, and bands everyone was hyping up and falling over. Through the adventure I met many like-minded audiophiles with individual taste and personality that would contribute to the multiple layers of what we are today. Though a ton of hard rock and countless hours have gone into learning and perfecting our website, our community, and social profiles, and branding (that’s just that start) Blue Sky was born and flourished into something that continues to surprise me and teach me and make me perpetually grateful each and every day. You can find a bit of our story documented on a later page of this issue. Of course we would be nothing and nowhere without you and without music which is why we wanted to give you a special new indie mix tape and sampler to celebrate our very first year with you guys. The tracklist is to the left and you may download it on our B-Sides page. I know I speak on behalf of all of us here when I say how thankful we are for each of you. Thank you to all the artists for sharing your love and passion and art with us and thank you to each and every one of you for allowing us to in turn share that passion and art with you. We hope you continue to accompany us on this great adventure. Love + Rockets, Mimi
