Third Annual Record Store Day!

The third Saturday of April is quickly approaching, so you know what that means: Record Store Day! Or, if you didn't know, a day to show your fondness for the independent record store community, a noble and cherished group of small-time music retailers operating independently from the big, corporate chains. Across the country, numerous stores are showcasing various events on April 17 centering on a celebration of music, including performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, DJs spinning records, and many more. To support your local indie retailer (or to just have a great time), visit the official Record Store Day website and find out what events are happening near you. Greatest holiday ever? Take that, Bastille Day!
