This Record Store Day thing is turning into a big boondoggle, I mean BIG DEAL!

In case you didn't know, this Saturday, April 19th, has been set aside as a day to celebrate the independent record store and the role it plays in our communities.

We will be featuring a ton of free and super-cheap stuff furnished by various manufacturers to help support this event.

We would love to see you on Saturday. We need you. And we'd like to think you need us. After all, to us everyday is Record Store Day.
