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.
Happy Record Store Day
Hope everyone had a chance to visit their closest brick & mortar record store today?
I scored BIG TIME and RSD just gets better and better every year. Pre-store opening crowds were at least twice as much as last year.
Also the customers and employees really seem to enjoy the excitement. No pushing or shoving and everyone was trying to help everyone else find what they were looking for. Real camaraderie.
The Emerson Lake & Palmer box set is SWEET!!! Their first (5) LPs on picture disc. It's really cool.
LONG LIVE VINYL...VINYL RULES!!!

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? |
This is the official Record Store Day Website. It has all the information you could ever ask for about RSD. http://recordstoreday.com/Home Vinyl...it's not a compound...it's a culture! |
