Record Store Day Is Tomorrow!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is Record Store Day. I hope some of you are planning to get out to your local independent record store to soak up the happy vibes. Even though I am a frequent visitor as it is, I am going to make a special trip. It's my duty, right?!

To get into the spirit of things, here are my three favorite in-store performances, brought to you by the miracle of YouTube. The first two are from my beloved San Francisco Amoeba (pictured above, thanks again Maol) and the last one is from a store in Tempe, AZ.

1. The legendary Mos Def in 2000 (a few bad words in this one, I would say not safe for children or office. But awesome!)

2.Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova in 2007 (less than 6 months later, they performed at the Oscars and won for this song- how cool is that??)

3. The Trashcan Sinatras in 2004. These guys are wonderful, always.

Happy Record Store Day, everyone!!!
