Go support Record Store Day on Saturday April 18th
April 1, 2009
We are asking everyone that visits the Big Wheel Online Magazine site no matter where you are in the world to go support Record Store Day on Saturday April 18th. Let your local record store know that you appreciate their HUGE contribution to the music scene by buying a CD, vinyl record or other goods from their store. Mark it on your schedule to go patronize an independent record store on Saturday, this should be the MAIN thing you do that day.
If for some reason you can not physically get to a record store on Saturday, go to your independent record store's website and buy something from their website. Do your part to make sure that independent record stores stay around forever.
Record Store Day unites indie retailers "as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally.This brings community awareness to these cultural institutions who are surviving, even thriving, in the changing music environment.
Here is the website around this special day http://recordstoreday.com
