Record Store Day

[adrienmundi]

Don't forget: tomorrow is Record Store Day! Support your local independent record (and cd) stores, many of whom will be holding special events. Check the website for more details, but if you're at all inclined to buy music, support the locals!

Most of them (to both questions). Wax n' Facts used to be my best bet when I was buying goth n' industrial on CD, but having moved on to the various flavors of bleepy club tunes on vinyl, they really have almost nothing for me. Satellite Records, when it was still open, was fantastic - I loved that place, and the people who worked there were great! - but everywhere else I've been has been anemic at best for my particular preferences. Also, the staff usually seem to be either a) not very passionate about music, or b) very passionate about their favorite kind of music, and total dicks about anybody else's. I guess that's a fashionable sort of attitude, and if the stores actually had music I wanted and reasonable listening stations, I'd put up with it, but the combination of extremely slim pickings and uninformed and/or pompous staff make most places just not worth my while.

On the other hand, hanging out in (the right kind of) record store is one of my favorite things in the world to do. I'll go check out the ones I haven't been to and hope for the best. :-)
