Record Store day

[Pat K]

That makes sense, since at least in terms of coverage I read/heard/saw stuff about RSD all over the place in the week leading up to it this year.  I can't remember how I heard about RSD in pervious years, but it sure as hell wasn't via NPR, CNN, or my local newspaper, all of which did multiple stories on it this year.

I wish we could have Video Store Day, honestly. I love my Netflix, but it's a bummer to see every video store in my town going out of business. In the city limits of Buffalo, there are now literally almost twice as many stores that sell new vinyl as there are video-rental shops. Weird...

I play all of them, all the time! My vinyl collection consists of 75% singles anyway (7 and 12 inches).

(I never listen to CDs anymore, only mp3 and vinyl.)

only in recent weeks/months have the CD re-entered my life.  i've gotten too lazy to plug in the ipod when i get into the car.  not to mention, it's a great excuse to ask people for mixes.  


right, dfk?

I didn't get to a store on the actual day but as it happened i was in Princeton the next weekend to see my grammy (no I don't call her that). I went to Princeton Record Exchange & got the Ted Leo 45! I would've bought more stuff but I didn't really have a lot of $$$ and I wanted to get a bunch of used LPs (I recently bought an el cheapo turntable and need stuff to play on it)

CD's are so cheap now, I can go to the used bookstore and get 10 CD's I want for a buck a piece. Problem is I don't play them that much if at all, but I do like owning what I like. I end up just ripping them to lossless and sticking them in my music folder. I guess it makes me feel better that I paid a dollar rather than downloading the album illegally and that I have the CD even though it will just sit on my shelf. I know the artist still gets no money out of the transaction.
