Happy almost Record Store Day, audiophiles! Prepare to celebrate with a brand new release from legendary alt rockers Garbage
Record Store Day, an annual event recognizing the independent, brick-and-mortar purveyors of music out there, was conceptualized in 2007. Since its inaugural edition in 2008 with ~300 stores participating, the production has grown in size and scale: This year there are over 1,200 pledged, fully participating stores in the U.S., and about 1,000 additional worldwide.
