Saturday Is National Record Store Day

April 18, 2008

Jason Harper,

If anybody needs help in these troubled times for the music industry, it’s the owners of independent record stores. This Saturday, April 19, close your iTunes and get out and buy some wax (or CD or poster — hell, something) at one of our fine local, independent retailers. Many stores around the country are offering up sales and hosting in-stores. Contact the stores below to find out what’s going on within their brick’n’mortar walls this Saturday.
