Record Store Day

[jaxzjax]

Anyone aware of anything going on in Jacksonville for Record Store Day on the 21st? I guess a better question would be - anyone know of any record stores in Jax?

I only know of two - Burro Bags and Yesterday and Today Records/the flea market.

Anything in Orange Park or St. Augustine?

here some info about a new place opening up and record store day http://jaxlore.blogspot.com/2012/04/local-newswire.html
"Looks like we will soon have another much-needed addition to our selection of music shops around the area. The Vinyl Countdown is slated to open in Murrray Hill, last I heard, sometime next month, although I understand they will be doing a Record Store Day in-store at Budget Records to kinda pump up their mission which you can read here. Even better, give Ron a shout at Budget on 904 428 2675 and let him give you the up-to-date and any new RSD merch they'll have.

Speaking of Record Store Day, here is the US list of new releases and exclussive what-nots. I have to say, the long list leaves a lot to be desired. It's an EDM desert up in there. Choose your poison."

I'm basing this off of your screen name, but visit DJ's Music Shop at the corner of Edison & McDuff.  I haven't been in for a few years (TTs had to go), but he always had a good selection of Reggea, blues, jazz, beats and rap.

Just curious, when is the last time everyone purchased a physical CD (or vinyl)?

^I've bought CDs from local bands and the like at shows, as a lot of times their music can't be bought online. I've also bought CDs for people when I wanted to get them something specific as a gift; Itunes gift cards just don't cut it for that. Other than that, the last CD i probably bought was the Pogues box set in 2008.

This is an interesting example of a technological change that fundamentally altered peoples' music listening habits.

I bought that box set, too!

I had a discussion with a guy who is a music journalist. He was lamenting the demise of records labels and the like. Although I can appreciate that, I think it's just change/progress/whatever and the industry will have to either adapt to deal with the changes or die off.

Maybe it's harder for bands in some ways now, because they won't necessarily be nurtured by labels and given advances, etc so they can work on their craft or whatever. But on the other hand, millions of bedroom musicians and bands in the middle of nowhere have the ability to record good sounding albums (or CDs or whatever a collection of MP3s is called) and distribute the music widely via the internet with very little cost.

It's exciting and democratizing.

That said, I love to buy whatever repackaged remasters collection (with previously unheard tracks!) that the big labels throw our way every few months
