  • April 19th, 2008: NATIONAL RECORD STORE DAY

    just saw this earlier on another forum

    Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today there are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.



    They have a listing of stores that are participating. As someone who loves killing/wasting time and $ at Cheapo among many others..this is a very cool thing. April 19 may also be the 1st day of Passover, but I can't see how I'd pass up heading over to the Eletric Fetus that day.

    Check out 1 of the quotes:

    Steve Wilson (Porcupine Trees)
    “Independent retail has always been the backbone of Porcupine Tree’s exposure in the US, and from the very beginning, the band was proactive in trying to associate with as many indie retail stores/chains as possible. We’ve always respected the aesthetics of the “pure” record store, and the importance of knowledgeable staff who can recommend great stuff to you because they truly love music and know what they’re talking about, and are not selling vacuum cleaners or washer/dryers in the next section over. Porcupine Tree would never have reached its level of retail exposure without the indie stores, we’ll always stand with them.”

    it would be delightful if they would actually have a search by zip code or state feature.

      Hmmm.... Boise's only record store will be participating, but it doesn't look like there will be anything particularly awesome about it.

                Ok, Gavin's entry borders on the poetic:

                Gavin (lead singer, DREDG)

                “Record stores are cultural gathering places where people go to share a common interest...their love for music. They are nostalgia and hot summer days. Record stores are ditching class to buy a record the day it comes out. They are Amoeba, Rasputin, and Aquarius and the distinct smell of the old records in the basement of the local mom and pop store. The record store is Run DMC on cassette tape. They are Iron Maiden posters, metal t-shirts and the magazine rack. The record store is a yellow and red Tower Records bag littered with CD labels. They are the listening stations, in store performances/signings, and staff recommendations. They are the used and local section and the free publications and zines at the front door. They are distributors of a product made up of dreams, effort, and heart that have the capability to change lives and outlooks, determine individuality, and divide or unite.”
                This guy, on the other hand, is a tool:

                Charlie Louvin

                "I'd like to thank all the indie stores from Florida to California and all points in between for being so welcoming in 2007. . . . Thanks for your help with my Grammy-nominated Charlie Louvin album and Live At Shake It Records CD. Look for my new CD in late 2008."

                  Wow... I like the way Gavin put that.

                    Well I had a good time. Celebrated by buying Red House Painters first two albums and buying four tickets towards a raffle for an awesome stereo system.
