For all my "Crate Diggers" and vinyl enthusiasts alike that wonderful time is upon us once again. The weather is nice, the city is beautiful, and we all gather throughout the metroplex for that never ending search for a once forgotten music medium. April 19, 2014 marks the 7th annual Record Store Day! A day where all music connoisseurs troll the city for great deals on their favorite artists. The resurgence of vinyl in the last few years has created a subculture of people who will go out to tomorrow happily trolling the city in search of that most obscure find. There will be new pressings of old releases and original pressings.
Now for the uninitiated please believe this is not for the faint of heart because depending on the time and place there is no telling where your search may lead you. But there is just something about finding that one record that you didn't even know still existed. The smell of the old cardboard from the album cover, the crackling you hear when you put it on the record player, and then that sweet sound of whatever your're into. Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, EDM, House, Latin Soul and on and on. So while the kiddies will be out looking for Easter eggs, some of us will be on a search of our own. Happy hunting!
