Well...it's upon us once again...the quickly-becoming-a-national-holiday, RECORD STORE DAY. this is a day constructed to help pump some interest (and ca$h) into INDEPENDENT record stores (brought to you by the kind folks at ADA, warner brothers, wea, emi and more...heh).By now you've seen the list. Just be aware that by this, the fifth RSD, there are PLENTY of amazing RSD exclusives that are not on the list, not approved by Record Store day, Inc--but possibly crucial to you as a music fan/collector. Some of these releases are as popular as the ones on the official list. Trouble In Mind will be releasing their annual 4-way split 7" single, for example. Revelation will be re-issuing some classic hardcore records (Farside "rigged" and others) and Matador will be offering exclusives from Sigur Ros, St. Vincent and Mclusky's amazing Do Dallas album--a british powerhouse of an album that any Jesus Lizard, early Touch and Go or Amphetamine Reptile fan outta check out--produced by Albini for extra kick. The band dissolved and members formed Futures of the Left after. I digress. What are we getting?
Well...i don't really know everything we're getting (except what I've mentioned so far. Want to know more? There are releases from LCD Soundsystem (12"), Destroyer and more.
Wanna see the official list? its right here . This year we'll be getting more titles than ever...both from that list and those that don't appear on the list. No real list yet, but that will come.
Since we're opening at 10 a.m., there will be a coffee station. We will have some of Buffalo's best bands and songwriters in our dungeon. In between, as usual, we'll be slinging some cool records while you shop. We're real excited this year and hope to see you.
