Record Store Day

Saturday April 18th will be the 2nd Annual Record Store Day. Over 500 independent record stores across the country will celebrate.  It was a day put together to let many people know that there are still record stores out there in the world though the media has painted a picture that they are going away. There will be over 100 special releases (most limited editions) coming out just in these indie stores for that day with many of them be vinyl. 7" singles by Bob Dylan, Blitzen Trapper, Leonard Cohen, Gomez, Decemberists, Depeche Mode. The first Queen EP on CD that was never released in the US. My Morning Jacket double 10" with a CD recorded live in Louisville Kentucky, much at my friend John Timmons' record store Ear-X-Tacy. The list just keeps growing. 

I'd like to invite all of you down that day to Music Millennium. We will be giving a free gift bag of goodies to all customers. Each will have free music in them including vinyl if you ask for a vinyl gift bag. At noon you can meet Queensryche as they come to support the store specificly because of Record Store Day. There will be free refreshments throughout the entire day. At present we have 2 live music events scheduled. Mary Flower and Lloyd Jones will play for the first time together at 3pm. Paula Sinclair will celebrate the release of her new album with a live performance at 5pm.

Please pass the word on this event. It was a fun time last year and promises to be an even better time this year.
