Discorder Magazine - April 2012

Since 2007, on the third Saturday of April, record lovers have rejoiced, for this is Record Store Day. So come, faithful devotees of vinyl — and disc and cassette —and upon this month’s 21st day, flock to your local record store to enjoy the many goods and events you shall find there. Special RSD merchandise, sales, live music and more await you in these sonic temples. Support local music and the brick and mortar record store, and ye shall find peace and sweet deals. And if you have not, come RSD revelers, to page 11 of this month’s Discorder and look upon an article about Record Store Day in Vancouver: “Regardless of your taste in music, count on finding what you like in our fair city year ‘round. In the spirit of community, stores aren’t shy about recommending another store if need be. Their love of music trumps the desire to make a profit, which is what Record Store Day celebrates.” —Tristan Koster
