Happy Record Store Day

Saw Steve Earle play in Twist and Shout Records here in Denver. I didnt even know in advance. Just happened to get there and they told me he would be starting in 6 minutes.

Was in NYC yesterday and passed a record store uptown...must have been over 200 people lined up before they opened their doors at 11:00. Yes, vinyl is doing well there.

Agreed - lots of live music in the local record stores I had a chance to visit. It has really turned in to quite the event. Was able to score the Sigur Ros 24 of a 1000 for my son's birthday (luckily he doesn't read this blog :), and some other great finds to boot. As always - thanks for keeping it about the music Mofi!
Enjoy spinning some wax today!

As much as I rejoice at the very sound of this phrase, I am embarrassed to admit I have no clear idea what RSD actually is. I went to my local record store to take advantage of the 20% off of used records this weekend and there was about 1.5 hr wait for the register so I left shaking my head. I doubt people were waiting that long to get a buck or two off a record, and I saw nothing that extraordinary to explain the line so I'm confused. I don't quite understand why people would wait for one day in the year to get something or release something. What am I missing?
