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.

    "Indy" record stores are basically just venues for the Hipster Olympics' circlejerk event.

    Bring on the shaming!
