On the Record

Record Store Day, an event to promote independent record stores, will be held on Saturday April 16th.  Launched in 2008, Record Store Day features exclusive music and merchandise by a range of artists coupled with in store performances, meet & greets, and general good times.

Here's a list of some stuff I'm excited to hear.  Check out the website to find participating stores and a list of releases.  Take this opportunity to stop in to a record store near you and help support musicians, music lovers and a business model in contrast to iTunes, torrents and the like.
