Saturday is Record Store Day
Hopefully you've gotten over the tax day hump, now relax this weekend with a good vintage record.
Saturday, April 19 is Record Store Day, celebrating the not-yet-dead form of vinyl. Hundreds of independent record stores across the country will have free gifts, in-store performances, and other special events planned.
Come support your local record store!
In San Francisco, Metallica will appear with autograph signings and a meet-and-greet. Metallica hasn't appeared in a store in almost 10 years.
Participating stores can be found at recordstoreday.com. Also check that link to read about artists' memories of the record store.
In Las Vegas, pop by Zia Records at 4225 S. Eastern and buy as many records as you can. As Henry Rollins says, "Every time you buy your records at one of these places, it's a blow to the empire."
