Tomorrow is Record Store Day!!!

You youngsters will probably not remember this, but once upon a time there were these stores we would go to in order to discover new music. Sometimes hours on end would be spent shuffling through the racks and racks of CDs. Artwork would be judged as if it were a recently discovered work of Van Gogh that had to be authenticated. Budgets were made, then dispelled. Trips home would be made with anxiety taking over until we reached home, popped in those new discs or LPs (do you remember those?) and finally got to discover new music.

To make sure this tradition is not completely lost on the young ones, there is now Record Store Day with countless independent record stores from all over the world welcoming artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases are made exclusively for the day by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Against Me, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Mastodon among others and hundreds of artists play in-store shows.
