**Super-double post Wednesday**!!
This Saturday is
Record Store Day. So you should figure out a great album you've been wanting to buy... and physically go to your local record store and buy it. Record Store Day has been going on for the last three years nationwide as a way to support the
independent record stores (that means do not even set foot near a Best Buy), who in the changing face of the music biz... are struggling. The best part is that there is all kinds of special release EP's, singles, re-issues happening just for Record Store Day. (The Hub has already placed a hold on several. Good man.)
We will be patronizing
ear X-tacy in Louisville... which has been struggling to stay open as of late! You should too! (If you live in Louisville if not, find your town's own ear X-tacy and go there.)
“Folks who work here are professors. Don't replace all the knowers with guessors. Keep'em open they're the ears of the town”--Tom Waits on the independent record store.
A side note--This all somehow makes me want to watch "
Empire Records". Worth a rental.
Damn the man! Save the Empire!
