Record Store Day

Well, you know how I love a little vinyl! So you know I'll be out for a bit to support my local vinyl peddlers tomorrow... Rebel Rebel, Bleecker Street Records, and Bleecker Bob's for some sweet singles, long long-plays, and hip two-disc collections!

RECORD STORE DAY | SATURDAY APRIL 18

Saturday is Record Store Day, a chance for the increasingly rare indie retailers to self-promote with new releases and rare performances.

Stop by Other Music for events including a Bob Dylan breakfast listening party, afternoon D.J. sets by Telepathe, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Grizzly Bear, as well as a live show by Bill Callahan.

Get in the D.I.Y. spirit on Friday night by catching ****** Jeans at Market Hotel. The Pennsylvania group with the salty name “makes an ungodly racket,” writes Amanda Petrusich. “But there’s a force behind its pummeling: the frontman, Matt Korvette, sings funny, ennui-laden songs about the banalities of contemporary living.”

Like the fact that there are fewer and fewer record stores.

This fantastic holiday is not limited to New York either, you can find out if your area is participating by going to RECORD STORE DAY / venues.

Happy weekend, much love and peace!
