:(

The one I visited in my town went out of business less than six months ago. I think I cried.

The Electric Fetus here in Minneapolis was hit by a tornado last summer and had to close for a week or so, people were jonesing like heroin addicts until it reopened.

Try the store locator on the first link.

I got excited when I first heard of Record Store day a few years ago. But then I found out none of my local stores were even having a sale or anything (or if they did, it was a shit sale). That killed any excitement I may have had.

****ing blur are releasing a new single in support of record store day it may be **** but hopefully not!
**** yeah!

Soon enough all record stores will be out of business and hard copies of albums will be expensive and collected by music lovers. I already miss having the actual album over a digital copy

definitely gonna hit up some places saturday

Physical copies already are generally expensive and have been for a long time. If you're given the option to pay $18 for a CD where the band only sees maybe a dollar with the rest being split between the distributor and the record label to recoup the cost of recording the album versus doing a Google search and finding it for free, what would you do?

Give it five, maybe ten years and they're only going to exist as Wal-Marts and Best Buys where the local populace fails to support them (e.g. everywhere but New York and L.A.). Then we'll all have some lovely NOW! 43759572 to listen to!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--
