Record Store Day: Black Friday

The first post of this blog was about my experience during record store day this year. Go read that if you haven't. I love the idea of record store day; special releases, people lining up outside of a local record store, and bands/labels showing a real appreciation for those of us that still buy physical format music. So what's better than this celebration once a year? Well twice a year obviously! That brings me to Record Store Day's Black Friday, sort of like the littler brother of the original.

The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is perhaps the biggest shopping day of the year. People wait in lines in the wee hours of the morning outside Wal-Mart to trample others, all for the AMAZING sale prices. Well go to your record store this year instead. The lineup of releases is pretty impressive this year. The ones that catch my attention the most are Dream Theater's "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory" on vinyl for the first time, and the boxset of all the Type O Negative albums on green vinyl. But there is sure to be something for everyone. Check out the official page for the details, and get out there!
