Record Store Day on Saturday

Posted by Daniel Stout on Fri 18 Apr 2008 at 8:20 PM

Tomorrow, Saturday 19 April 2008, has been designated Record Store Day. Independent record stores of all stripes from coast to coast will be celebrating. In many larger cities, musicians will be stopping by local stores. Locally, Atomic Records in Milwaukee will be having live performances from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Check their website for the schedule. The Exclusive Co. in Appleton will be open from 8 a.m. till midnight. Pitchfork has the lowdown on events in other cities. So get out tomorrow and support your local independent record store!

Update (20 April 2008): Judging by the crowd at the Exclusive Co., Record Store Day was a success. The bonus was the bountiful freebies that were on-hand for anyone to take. What surprised me was that the freebies were specially made for Record Store Day – most of them had the Record Store Day graphics on them or were in the title. Skipping over the ones that didn’t interest me, I still ended up with two vinyl sampler albums and three full sampler CDs. So without further ado, here is some of the free music that was available at the Exclusive Co. on Saturday.
