Record Store Day Returns in 2009





Retailers, record labels and bands will once again come together to remember an era when music fans had the dignity to actually legally purchase their music.

The second annual Record Store Day, a promotional holiday of sorts organized by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers, will go down April 18. Like last year, the nationwide event will feature events at independent record stores across the country, in-store performances and releases exclusive to the day.

It's part of the NARM's efforts to make listeners remember the joy of sifting through the stacks at their favorite record store. Because, admit it: You just can't get that special self-righteous smirk from a 19-year-old hipster record-store clerk when you purchase something unhip from iTunes, can you?
