Happy Record Store Day, y'all!
I beg you, skip iTunes at least for the day, and go out and support your favorite local record stores! Always, always shop local when you can. Support small business. Also... real albums! Can you believe it? Yes, they still exist! Vinyl even! Is your head spinning yet?
For more information on this (a favorite of mine) holiday, please scope out http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home. You can look up stores in your area. Also, remember that apart from their typical gems, most record stores will have deals, live performances, rare releases, free shirts or stickers, (some stores might even be opening earlier) etc., so check the website to check on what your favorite local spots are offering up today!
Here are a few of my favorite record stores:
When I'm in Chicago:

When I'm home on the East Coast:
