Today was one of my favorite holidays, Record Store Day. It’s a celebration of local, independent record stores and you know I am really big on music. So I visited about four or so local stores: The Beat, two Dimple locations, well three really since Dimple Vinyl is separate. I didn’t make it to Phono Select or Esoteric or the other Dimple locations or all the other local stores or those in nearby towns or, well, what do you think I am a music fanatic?!?
OK, so maybe I am. You know what they say, once Obsessed With Music, always OWM. This year, I didn’t spend a fortune but I did find a bunch of nice items, some of which were released special for Record Store Day. Some were bought for Petra too.
Check out this list of what I got, and then leave me a comment below telling me what you think…
