Record Store Day In-Stores

i think i will celebrate Record Store Day by getting really baked the day after Record Store Day.

lol scirgr84evs, well put.

Shouldn't every day be record store day?

That would be real sweet if this catches on. I would be far down to stock up on some vinyl. The stores should do some inticing sale of some sort...

this is a nice idea but I'm just too worn out from Rex Manning day to do anything about it.

SCIRGR84EVS, Every day should be like the day after Record Store Day!

Looks like DonnaDouche is the new me. Regardless of what you think of me I always support the jamband scene. FYI idiot bluegrass rules!!!

theragman, is that an empire records reference?

record store day sounds like it could be a decent enough per-party, like 4/20 eve or something

damn the man, save the empire

happy pre-4/20 day...go buy some vinyl

just go out buy some recs on 4/19 get baked and jam em all the next day

yes this is pretty cool

yes "it's Rex Manning day !!!"

vinyl is fun and , i like records too....

How about 8 track day? I grew up on vinyl and have absorbed the family collection, but when you are all baked on 4/20 (or any other day) it gets to be a pain in the ass to flip records every 20 minutes.

Ok, I found a myspace page for a band called Rex Manning Day, and I know the quote from Empire Records movie, about a record store staff... but other than that, who is Rex Manning, and what does he have to do with this? Hope that is not a stupid question ... ?

He was a character in the movie. He was a d-bag singer like a perverted Kenny-G or something

i think im gonna download record store day on to my computer !!!

Viva La Vinyl! Check out the label, Classic Records catalog.

Please support your local independent record stores!

wow, i hate to throw out negativity, but this is pretty lame. I mean who ever heard of trying to unite local record shops by releasing exclusive albums for publicity. I think people go to record stores about as much as its ever gonna happen, unless the internet crashes. In a time where you can get any music you want for free, it is almost impossible for the small local shops to maintain business. I think the best chance to have a shop like this now a days is to be on a campus or in the heart of a downtown atmosphere. The most population these shops receive is when they have concerts in house. So just put on some good shows and support the local bands. That's about the best way to drum up business. Give people a place to play music, and they'll bring people to check out your shop. Stop trying to make new business by selling some crappy new record from a band that should have broke up years ago. ( like R.E.M. ) Again sorry for the negativity. But I think this article is ridiculous and the concept of creating a day for attending local record shops is really stupid. I go to my record shops when I'm blazed and really want to space out while I dig through old stacks of vinyl with hope to stumble across a diamond in the rough. I'll definitely have to hold celebrations for the day after this event. A real day of celebration. Happy 4/20 everyone. :-)

^^^Not every thing is available for an IPod jackass. I see it as a way to pull assholes away from their computers for a moment. 420 should be the thing you cut this year that shit is CLICHE as hell

Anyone going to be at Luna Music for this in Broad Ripple (Indianapolis)?

Let me know if you are! I'll probably try and make it to support independant shops.

It's a shame that msd413886669 has no understanding of the value that a local indie record store can provide a city. While itunes continue to dominate the market; I have watched the giants such as Tower crumble. Yet, many independent stores have continued to grow by promoting GOOD music and helping all music fans. My local independent store offers sincere owners, great promotions, free music, a great bar with good live music, great prices, and the opportunity to have a 180gm hard copy in my hand on the release date. I have also watched as the store has helped increase the music that rolls through town. That is something I can't get from itunes, bestbuy, or the internet.

Hey 45king. You can get anything on your ipod, dumb@ss. I have vinyl from the twenties and forties all over mine. that way when I want to her a song, I can. But I do still have a giant record collection and will continue to collect vinyl. But you go a head and leave 4/20 to us peeps that can handle it. I'm not fifthteen anymore, but I still blaze a phat one with my crew on that day. And...fordaj- you obviously didn't read what I wrote. I totally understand what a local record store can do for a scene. I was trying to say the best way for a local record shop to gain publicity is to promote live, in store shows. You need to learn how to read. All I was saying is that to dedicate a day to paying homage to Local Record Shops is lame. If you love music, then you will go to a record shop, way before downloading. That's why great bands like TOOL still make awesome packing for their records. But you apparently didn't understand what I was saying. It's cool. Shop for songs all day. I'll be making music. Peace.

Sure you can find anything on the internet but there is such a huge difference in quality between mp3s and vinyl, when it comes to sound and what you actually physically recieve. I do download but if I had the money I would definitely be listening to most of my music on vinyl. Perhaps it's less portable that way but then you're forced to actually listen to the music instead of it just being background noise.

I understand exactly what you are writing; you feel that TOOL is a great band and that you and your crew blaze a phat one on April 20. What are some of the bands from the 1920's and 40's that you have on your ipod? After reading your second post it is much easier to understand the douchebaggery in your comments.

I blaze "with my crew" every day I dont need four twenty as an excuse. As for Itunes, lime wire and others like limewire, I've have stacks of Independent lables and test pressings (mainly from 1965-1976)that limewire has never had the chance to misslable. (EXAMPLE artist:Marvin Gaye song: Ain't no Sunshine or the ever famous artist: Phish song: Gin and Juice)

Well from the twenties, I have a lot of Benny Goodman, and the forties has a lot of Bird, and Clifford Brown, Max Roach. But Tool is a phenomenal band, you're the douche. And I don't need an excuse either, buts it's still fun to walk around twice as high on that day. And I still listen to the vinyls buddy. I just near to hear certain things for certain occasions. So keeping it portable is nice. But you're right it's not the same, but it does allow me to be able to educate more people with good music. But this conversation is being blown out of context. It was about independent records, it was about the shops having a holiday, which is far more whack then one for marijuana. but you guys have fun. I'm out. Peace.

Bicycle Day! The black wheel spinnin' round! Let's drink some milk!

Ahh humans..always bickering and fighting. That is why we Apes rounded you all up in the first place.

RIP Aardvark Records =(
