Today is Record Store Day. That means you stop pirating for at least one day, visit that beloved local record store you're always intending to go to and buy some CDs/tapes/eight-tracks/vinyl you've been meaning to get for a while.
And if you have the time, check out as many of the Triangle's offerings as you can. In Raleigh, you can check out Edward McKay Used Books & More and Schoolkids Records (RIP Franklin St. incarnation) where Samantha Crain is performing. Chapel Hill offers CD Alley. And Durham has Offbeat Music and Bull City Records participating. And rumor has it that Thao Nguyen, who is playing tonight at the Coffeehouse, will be doing a solo set around 5 p.m. at BCR.
So go buy some music. Listen to a songstress. Even say hi. Just support your local record store.
