If you haven't heard, Record Store Day is tomorrow. It's a great day to go out and support your local record stores, because that's a good thing to do, but also because there are tons of limited-edition Record Store Day releases coming out. Pitchfork compiled an extensive list of them here, and each store has its own little deals, too. Here's what's going on in Columbus. (Feel free to add corrections or anything I missed in the comments...)
Used Kids will have some of those limited-editions and lots of live music. Here are the bands, in order from 1-8 pm: dick mackey, dottie and clyde, black phantom thousands, times new viking, ap (alleyes path), birds of hair, tv eye, brian harnetty, super desserts.
Lost Weekend Records:
All used LPs will be 33% off, all used 45s will be 45% off, all 78s will be 78 cents each and all new LPs & CDs will be 10% off (excluding limited edition Record Store Day releases). Everything else in the store (used Cds, used dvds, T-shirts, books, comics, etc.) will be 20% off.
Owner Kyle Siegrist also says: "Lost Weekend will also have cool record store day give-away items while supplies last, including such items as CD and LP samplers some 7" records (I know one is a Kings of Leon single), Beastie Boys turntable mats, Beatles numbered lithographs, and other stuff, plus we will be bringing out the free Herb Albert records. We will have several of the limited edition Record Store Day releases (the only things not on sale that day):
Some of these we only have 1 or 2 copies of and others we will have more including a live Pavement Lp from 1988, 7" singles from, The Smiths, Slayer, Akron Familiy, MC5, Stooges, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Bad Religion, Bruce Springsteen, Sonic Youth w/ Jay Retard and a cool split with Flaming Lips and The Black Keys. Plus the full latest full length album from Jorma Kaukonen "River Of Time" on Red House Records only 1,000 pressed and they were pressed in town at Mus-I-Col. There is also a double 10" record from My Morning Jacket and a 10" record from Ben Harper also a live Derek Trucks cd. There may be some others..."
-- I don't have any info on Magnolia Thunderpussy, but they had all sorts of free stuff last year if you purchased something, so I'm sure they will this year, too. Last year I got free 7" vinyl by MGMT, Wye Oak and some others.
-- Evil Empire Records (located inside Kafe Kerouac and What the Rock?!): "Both of the Columbus Store locations for Evil Empire Records will be giving away some of my favorite singles, no purchase necessary. (One per customer. While supplies last.)"
-- Ace in the Hole's website says it will have live music and limited-edition Record Store Day releases.
-- The new Elizabeth's Records: "We won't have the special goodies on national offer, but we will give a free 45 single to the first 25 paying customers, and a 10 % discount to any purchase over five dollars."
-- Singing Dog is apparently participating, too, but no specific info.
