Metallica launch the very first
Record Store Day... wait, they still have record stores? WHERE?! I just walked past where a massive HMV used to be and it's empty.
"
Record Store Day will be celebrated across the USA, as well as parts of Canada, England and Ireland on April 19th.
It will give music fans the chance to get back into the stores to discover music and hear some great live acts."
It sounds really good in theory, but I know I can "discover music" by sitting on my bed surfing the internet too. Still though, I wish they were doing it over here as well (Australia). It should be an international thing actually.
So maybe on Saturday the 19th in recognition of
Record Store Day I'll go and hang out at one. All day. Who's with me?!
