Happy Record Store Day!

Wait, are these special records all supposed to be given away for free?

From the Laurie's Planet of Sound thing on Facebook:

"**We'll have several special, very limited 7"s for sale by artists like Built to Spill, REM, Black Keys, and Death Cab for Cutie! Only for sale on this day!"

That sure doesn't sound free.

i just got back from it. all of those were for sale but my store had some free stuff they were giving out. from what i can remember they had 7"s from trail of the dead, the zutons, and yeah yeah yeahs. then a bunch of random samplers and stuff. somehow my store got a few copies of jimmy eat world's "futures" 2x12" and i got one of those for free

I hit up two record stores...and neither were doing anything special. One was having 10% off on everything but no new 7" for some bands that have been released.

If any of you guys are still going to some stores, would it possible if you could look for the Flyleaf "Much Like Falling" EP for me? It's supposed to be a special release for today. I'd pay cost, shipping, and extra for the trouble.

i didn't see anything for free at the store i went. i didn't know to look though. i was just looking for the breeders 7" to pick up for a buddy.

R5 in sacramento was having bands play and there was a record swap going on.

i scored a few things.

alk3 maybe i'll catch fire black

rancid let's go white 2xlp

atdi in casino/out casino clear

they were giving away punk, rock/pop, metal 'gift bags' but there wasn't anything exciting in the 'punk' one. just some stickers and some cd samplers.

Filled so many gaps in my collection. Here's my haul:

Hot Water Music - Flight and a Carch (yellow marble)

Carbonas - s/t

Mountain Goats - We Shall All Be Healed

Mountain Goats - Tallahassee

RKL - Keep Laughing

Weakerthans - Reunion Tour

DI - Horse Bites, Dog Cries

Small Faces - the Historia De La Musica Rock comp

Slickee Boys - Cybernetic Dreams of Pi

Gang Green - Another Wasted Night

Sloppy Seconds - The First Seven Inches...And Then Some

The Damned - Damned Damned Damned

Jay Reatard - See/Saw 7"

I may have spent the rent, but it was fucking worth it. Massive discounts all around town.
