jon_chaissonYep, you've heard me nag about it these past few days, and today is the day--support your local independent record store by stopping by and giving them your hard-earned money on stuff you don't need but really want!
So now I'm curious--what, in your memory, was the first record/tape/cd you ever bought, and when? Do you have any interesting/memorable stories about record stores? Meet anyone famous, or go to a signing or a free show? Admit it--what's the largest amount of money you dropped on the counter in one visit to a store, and what did you buy? What's your favorite store (links always welcome)? Do tell!! Either comment here or post your own! :)
I shall offer my story/stories later on, as I am about to head to Amoeba Records up in the Haight for a few hours...and yes, I am doing my duty by wearing this shirt from Diesel Sweeties while I'm there.
More soon!!
Edit: the RSD logo is not popping up, and I think it's because there's some pretty heavy traffic to the RSD site, so I took it down. The above link works, though :)
