Today Is Record Store Day 2011

Posted by timothy on from the now-discuss-properties-of-sound-recording-media dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Today marks the 5th annual Record Store Day, a celebration of independent record stores. As a music lover, I think this day is of dire importance." I know Free Comic Book Day (for 2011, that's May 7) has gotten a lot of people into comic stores who otherwise wouldn't — partly because of the many free comics given away — but hadn't heard of the record-store equivalent. It'd be nice for record stories to give away tons of 7" vinyl promos.

    It'd be nice for record stories[sic] to give away tons of 7" vinyl promos.

    They'd be sued into oblivion if they tried. Can't have them promoting piracy and stealing money from the artists, now can we?
