Hey, it's Record Store Day tomorrow



A Holy Day of Obligation for some. Kim's is open early. Per their Facebook invite:

We're starting bright and early at 8 AM with more than 200 exclusive LPs, CDs, and books in limited release especially for RECORD STORE DAY from Flaming Lips, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Big Star, Rolling Stones, Daniel Johnston, The Cure, White Stripes, Grizzly Bear, Moon Duo, Nick Cave, Nick Drake, Orange Juice, Pink Floyd, Caribou, Small Faces, Stephen Malkmus, Tame Impala, Thee Oh Sees, Wire and The Zombies to name a few.

If you sleep in, don't worry, there's plenty to do all day long. From 11am-6pm we will be hosting DJ sets from some of your favorite local artists and DJ's.

And at Other Music... the Record Day stock has been rolling in...

While there are several other record shops in the neighborhood, these are the only ones we spotted who were official participants, who signed the pledge, etc.

Support all your local record shops, though ... Good Records NYC ... A-1 Records ... Academy Records ... Sounds ... Rainbow Music...

Sadly, five record stores closed here in the last year... Tropicalia in Furs, Gimme Gimme, Norman's, Rockit Scientist and Big City Records.

Sound Fix in Williamsburg says:
What a great run we’ve had here at
Sound Fix. A successful move bisecting slices of time right there
on Bedford Ave. and then a long block away, watching the street and
neighborhood change with increasing speed and—well, what to say
other than that change is the true nature of things? I don’t think anyone
here is looking at Sound Fix’s closing as a failure of any sort. We succeeded
for nearly a decade in a financially savage landscape in a city with piles
of great and unique record stores. And, needless to say, we couldn’t have
succeeded without you, our great and loyal customers. So, thank you.

Our last day is tomorrow: Record Store Day. Yes, we deliberately chose
tomorrow because we thought it would be a swell idea to part on a day that
celebrates record stores, ’cause they’re worth celebrating.
