Record Store Day (4/22) is a wonderful day, whether you like waiting in line forever, flipping limited-edition vinyl on ebay, or authentically enjoying the experience of listening to music. This is a good moment to remind you to support local brick-and-mortar record stores this year, since they’re run by people in your community, and that $3 used John Cale record isn’t going very far to pay anyone’s rent.
