Independent Label Throws Itself Gigantic Clearance Sale

The Champaign, Ill.,-based label Polyvinyl has found a new problem presented by music’s digital age: The distributor the label used is downsizing its warehouse, which means that Polyvinyl needs to get rid of 10,000 albums that will take up too much space (read: cost too much money to be housed) in the distributor’s new space. So they’ve decided to turn into Overstock.com for a few days, giving anyone who plunks down $50 via the microfunding site Kickstarter 26 CDs and two DVDs from their catalog–shipping included. The bands on offer include past blog darlings like Architecture in Helsinki, current favorites like of Montreal, emo titans like Rainer Maria, and the delightful Philadelphia outfit Audible. It’s almost like what would happen if a used-CD bin was brought over to your house as a gift!
