IT'S RECORD STORE DAY

 

Not sure if you knew, but today is April 11 which means tomorrow is our favorite holiday of the year -- RECORD STORE DAY!  If you're heading out tomorrow to visit a record store you love -- or one that's new to you -- or maybe you're doing both -- then perhaps you want to do a little preparation beforehand. Here are some ideas for that: Record stores around the country are filling their social media feeds with answers about what they're planning for tomorrow and also, importantly, what Record Store Day special releases they'll have for you. SO BE PREPARED: FOLLOW RECORD STORES ON SOCIAL MEDIA!  So much thought goes into planning out HOW Record Store Day is going to work at each store. Everything from floor plans, line layout, crowd control and register placement to the renting of a porta-potty has been thought through and stores are laying it all out for you in a concise, informative manner.   SO BE PREPARED: READ THE GUIDES, WATCH THE VIDEOS Food trucks, donuts, pizza, cookies, coffee, beer. Pierogies. Purveyors of all of these things are getting in on the party, and there will be an abundance of deliciousness (like this Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale from our friends at Dogfish Head, which pairs nicely with their Official RSD Poster and On A Back Porch Live Compilation album this year) SO BE PREPARED: PLAN YOUR FOOD AND BEVERAGE INTAKE And importantly, visit our website. Not only can you find stores near where you'll be, print out a shopping list of special RSD releases, read more about each title and see what the cover looks like so you can spot it in the wild, but you can do other fun stuff while you wait for the record stores to open, like hear from newly-minted Record Store Legend Johnny Marr, watch mini-documentaries on the Charles Mingus set and other albums from the jazz label Resonance Records, and enter to win an AMAZING Gibson Jimmy Page DOUBLENECK GUITAR!   SO BE PREPARED: HIT RECORDSTOREDAY.COM TO FILL THE TIME UNTIL TOMORROW WISELY
