We love Record Store Day. We try to get to as many record shops as we can, catch a few bands and this year I think we’re even going to enjoy some good weather during the journey. As an added bonus for us – we have an actual record player in the house for the first time in years. I’m afraid of how much we might spend.
I’m particularly interested in Dead Media and Hymie’s. If you haven’t gone before – Hymie’s really does take Record Store Day to the next level with genuine street fair. Below is my list of places to go – with timed events if I could find them. Last year we made it to 10 stores. We’ll see if we can’t beat that record on Saturday!
