Originally established in 2007 as a means of celebrating "the art of music," and to stimulate sales in the independent music retail sector, this event gets bigger and bigger each year.
It takes place annually on the 3rd Saturday in April.
Record stores around the world slash prices, host in-store performances, and offer tons of special, limited edition merchandise.
A growing list of popular bands will release material in conjunction with the event, including Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Regina Spektor, Gorillaz, and many, MANY more.
This Saturday, get out to your local record store and support the cause!

Purple Rain! Nice! One of my first and favourite albums of all time. Period. Just seeing it puts a huge smile on the face... no other album come to mind that was so rock and at the same time so soul; discuss
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely an album for the ages! And you're exactly right ... it brought such great elements of both rock and soul. Really captured the moment as far as the Minneapolis music scene was concerned. My older brothers used to play that soundtrack all the time when it came out, and I was glad to get a copy on vinyl a few years ago. One of my favs in my collection.
