Record Store Day April 17, 2010

I remember Wherehouse from the early 90s...then they got purchased by Blockbuster and became Blockbuster Music, then they went back to being Wherehouse Music. There were probably a dozen in the Houston metro area at one point in time.

I believe Sound Exchange is still around and on Richmond, haven't been by there for quite a while though. Never been to Vinal Edge though. And yeah, Warehouse had a great selection of used stuff...that's really the only reason I went there. In fact that's how I found out they were closed...went to load up on used CD's and they were shut down. So sad. They were open until last year sometime. I know there used to be quite a few around, but as far as I could tell there was only the one for the longest, and then they were gone.

The only thing Sam Goody was ever good for was buying band t-shirts on sale, and the occasional poster. I don't think I ever bought a CD from them.

Edit: sidewinder...I messed up your post on accident so I deleted it. I's sorry.

Can't wait. Hopefully I'll be able to hit up Grimey's. Last year they had a pretty insane lineup of bands. From Charlie Lourve (sp?) to Stardeath & White Dwarfs.
The Flaming Lips stopped by too.

I wish I could go to record store day

I don't think there are any record stores in Pensacola. I miss D.C. but there weren't all that many there either really...

Oh **** I just realized I'm going to be in San Francisco on the 17th... perhaps I'll have to pay Amoeba a visit and see what they've got on sale.
