Record Store Day 2024

The music industry is a tough one to get into and it seems like it's been getting harder for quite a while. Between streaming killing album sales and downloading doing the same to single sales, artists have been having a hard time making a good living doing what they love.

Record stores have been dying off for a while too, and it's hard to blame people for not going to them as much as they might have 10 or 20 years ago. You can get just about any record you could ever want online, and often times you can get it cheaper than you could in the store. But there's just something about the experience of going to a record store that you can't get anywhere else.

That's what Record Store Day is all about. It's a day to celebrate the independent record store and the music that they sell. On Record Store Day, record stores all over the world put out special releases and host events to encourage people to come and support them.

Record Store Day was started in 2008 by a group of independent record store owners as a way to promote their businesses. The first Record Store Day was a success, and it has grown every year since then. In 2023, there were over 1,000 participatingstores in the United States and over 2,000 worldwide.

Record Store Day is a great way to find new music and support your local record store. It's also a fun way to spend a day with other music lovers. If you've never been to Record Store Day before, I encourage you to check it out. You might be surprised at what you find.
