We had every intention of busting out a world class post summarizing all the releases that you should snack up at this year’s Record Store Day. Alas, here it is Friday morning, and there are hundreds of releases in front of me. So, that isn’t going to happen, but seriously look at that link back there. It’ll suck up quite a bit of your time, and you will realize you are drooling when you finally come out of that internet vortex. So, let’s focus on the Nashville Record Store Day events. These are seriously fun events to support your local bands and, of course, your local record stores.
We have our good friends over at Grimey’s who are throwing down all day with some of our good friends from this blog. They are throwing an ALL DAY shindig where the music never stops. If you want the music to stop, you can sneak down to The Basement for some music movies.
