Record Store Day!

It's finally here!  Record Store Day is an awesome event that happens at independent record stores across the country.  All the stores get some exclusive and rare items that will only be available on that day (Saturday, April 17th).  CDs, vinyl, DVDs and so much more.  Many of the stores turn the day into one big party with live music, food and sales.

The releases I'm most looking forward to include Manchester Orchestra "Live @ Park Avenue," fun. "Live @ Fingerprints," and a Coheed and Cambria 7" picture disc.  Some other artists with a more broad appeal that will have items on-hand include Owl City, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Rolling Stones and more.  There will also be many different promotional items, like label samplers and hand bags.  Get the full list here.

There's a few stores in our area that will be participating and they include The Exclusive Company in Oshkosh and Appleton (and all of them across the state for that matter) and Mad Hatteur in Fond du Lac.  Make sure you stop in and support your indy record stores!
