On saturday (in NZ time anyway) it's Record Store Day! Yaaay!

 

Haha, it's a pretty cool day. Most record stores will be having sales, instore performances and heaps of other stuff.

 

All you have to do, is go to your local record store and buy stuff!

 

I dunno, just go! it'll be fun!

Woah, that's pretty cool.

I wish we had cool stuff like that :sad:

I know there are some stores in Australia participating in Record Store Day. :)

lyk wat

are there no independent record stores in your town?

There are only 2 here, but those 2 are really cool and they're on the same street so I'll just be switching between them all day :D

Slash from guns n roses is doing an instore at amoeba in Los angleles and jonsi from sigur ros is at the amoeba records in Berkeley. Artists need to support indie record stores. You show me someone who consistently shops at an indie record store and I will show you someone who has good taste in music.

 

To be honest, I love my iTunes and mp3 collection, but it's not the same as having the physical item. I think we will have a lot less iconic record covers and music related art work in the future because no one ever has the item in hand (it's always just stored on a player).

The store in my city is also participating! :wacko:

I agree. I feel a lot more satisfied and happy with an actual album or vinyl record in my hands, versus an mp3 file. And of course, the sound is better!

 

That's a good point about the album artwork.

We don't really have record stores.

 

Merle's Record Rack closed years ago. I mean, there's Cutler's, but that's all the way in the city and it's way overpriced anyway.

 

You have to go to Best Buy now for music, or online.

I love instore performances. I've been to a few really great ones.

This being the best ^^

 

 

Record stores are amazing. I seem to spend a lot of my weekends in town going to them, and whenever I'm in a new city I'll have a look for some :heart:

Vinyl with an mp3 download link :heart :heart:

I like CD's.

I like CD's in nice packaging

 

I hate jewel cases

Fair play.

 

I hate like Viva la Vida with the slide out discs, they always get so scratched.

 

The best is like Teh Cost or Strict Joy...not only great soft casing with a click-in disc spot but also beautiful artwork and booklets and stuff...just so pretty the cases..such class

I like the slide out ones!

Strict Joy was quite good, but I still think there should be no plastic in CD packaging, it ruins it for me.

Sorry hippie boy. Didn't know we killed that many dolphins to make a fucking perfect piece of art like strict joy case. the cost one is better..it's so pretty, there's all these lights :wacko:

 

my viva kept getting scratched to save your planet :mean:

Vinyl with an mp3 download link :heart :heart:

 

Ah, that's a bonus. I like the person/people who came up with that.

i like the person who came up wioth shut the hell up

har har har...I wasn't talking about that but..sure

 

I don't have The Cost on cd. I downloaded it on iTunes because I got so sick of not finding it here. What do you mean by the lights?

Well it's like the stric joy. with 3 fold out flaps kinda. anyway the background is all green plant wall and stuff and there's a gorgeous picture of the band and all these shiny lights behind them. it's so magnificent.

 

even the front and back are so pretty

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was the first Frames album I bought and to this day it's the prettiest album on my shelf collection. fuck google it doesn't have any pictures of the flaps. maybe ill take a pcitre of the flaps for you plastic.

yeah it looks pretty cool. Would look awesome on vinyl :D

If you're so in love woth vinyl why don't you marry it?

pffffft, do you own any vinyl? New vinyl is so lovely

yeah but my damn vinly player is broken. it plays sides A fine but the damn needles too heavy anything on side b it goes "la la laaaooooooarghgghghhg" and gets all low and slow like on tv. it was a forgotten hurt until you reminded me thanks plastic.

yes you should fix it
