For this week’s installment of Minstrel Fridays, we are honored to share with you a mix by one of the artists from VOLUME (opening reception is TONIGHT, 6/24)– San Diego legend Otis B. Known simply as “O”, he sings loud and paints abstract pieces like the one shown above.
Here’s some background on O, as told by Trouser Press:
Otis Barthoulameu, who chooses to be known simply as O., was the renaissance man of the early ’90s San Diego scene. Besides fronting fluf and playing guitar in Olivelawn, the hefty singer/guitarist has been a roadie (for the Muffs), oft-published skateboarding photographer, record producer (for further, among others), van driver, stagehand (Ministry’s Psalm 69 tour), 7-inch single manufacturer (Rocket From the Crypt, Tanner) and a T-shirt hawker at his own shows — all in the name of no-bullshit rawk’n'roll, the music to which he’s zealously dedicated.
Take a listen to O’s mixtape, aptly named Songs I Love…

I can’t wait for summer. Bright skies. Bike rides around the hood. Tall boys in the park. Swimming in the ocean. Passing out on the beach. Long days and warm nights. So this playlist is my blessing for a real San Diego summer. It’s the soundtrack to your perfect summer day. It’s coming…I can feel it.

I’m a California girl who likes good music (especially that sweet soul music). “Songs in the Key of Sunshine” takes its inspiration from summer. Those lazy hazy crazy days of summer. Well, these songs mostly reflect the lazy and hazy days. Songs I want to listen to while sitting poolside or floating on an air mattress, carefree and with nowhere else to be. Laying on a blanket burying my feet in the sand. Enjoying picnics and BBQs in the park. Leisurely driving on a road trip to the desert or up and down the coast. Maxin’ and relaxin’. Songs that sound like a laid-back clear warm sunny day. Classic California postcard snapshots. Easy breezy sun-soaked landscapes. Of course, there are many more songs that I could listen to all summer long. This may be the first of many summer mixes to come…

Graphic designer and occasional ukulele-craftsman Casey White recently set up shop with us down at The Bakery. Before returning to his native San Diego, Casey spent several years in New York and last year in Taos, NM living in one of the infamous Earthship dwellings. By day, Casey and his best friend run Plan B Branding, developing brands for baseball clubs. In the eve, you’ll find Mr. White (who recently became a father) kicking back with his family.
Here’s a mix of tunes that Casey’s been listening to lately – enjoy the random assortment!

We are beyond excited for Invisible Creature’s visit to San Diego next week. If you’re a local designer, consider yourself lucky! We find something new and exciting every time we peruse their work, and it’s safe to say they have a strong hold on a wide variety of styles and techniques. Pack your Rhodia pad, because we’re looking for the Brothers Clark to reveal some of the secrets behind their process during their lecture at the Casbah.
While you stare at the lung-entrenched-eyeball-multiverse of an album cover above (designed by IC, of course) take a listen to installment #2 of the Invisible Creature Top 10 At-The-Moment tunes, courtesy of Don Clark.
