April 12, 2010 National Record Store Day this Saturday April 17th |
|
Hot Poop Spins More Than Music For 3rd Annual Record Store Day Record stores are back in the black across the nation. That’s not to say that their profit margins have reversed from bleeding red to bouncing back into the black. But, the once thought to be extinct black vinyl is back on the shelves and paving the highway to the future for an industry that has seen over 3,000 record stores close in the last six years. Vinyl fever will be treated and encouraged by highly capable musical specialists this Saturday April 17th when the 3rd annual National Record Store Day is celebrated across America. Hundreds of independently owned music stores will simultaneously link and act as one with the purpose of celebrating the music, art and culture of their industry. Limited edition vinyl LP albums and 7 inch 45’s from Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon, the Rolling Stones, Tom Waits, The Doors, Jeff Beck, Elvis Costello, REM, Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Flogging Molly and others will be offered up for sale. Reversing Joni Mitchell’s prophetic lyrics, Hot Poop will be propagating paradise over a paved parking lot in celebration of National Record Store Day. Local bands and recording artists will baptize the bop at the 3rd annual Presley Methodist Of The Assumed Paradise Parking Lot Barbecue Boogie Revival. Free Pepsi products and chips will be served. Backstage Bistro will be serving their world famous BBQ pulled pork sandwiches at popular prices. Washington State’s Oldest Independent Record Store, Hot Poop, will proudly present this free all day live concert featuring Northwest musical groups. Performing artists will include: The Slooches, Take Back, Table of Contents, Plateau, Soul Status, Meet Me At Eight, Snack Attack, Bright City Magic and Joe Keown of The Blast. Special guests will be announced later. Hot Poop believes that Record Store Day is somewhat of a Heritage Day for music fans who appreciate both the superior sound and simplicity of vinyl records. We at Hot Poop also hope that people will stop and reflect on the true genius of Thomas Alva Edison. Not only did he invent the phonograph & records to play on it, he should also be appreciated for having the foresight to invent the electric light bulb so that we wouldn’t have to find our groove in total darkness. Please Pop on in to Hot Poop on Record Store Day!, Principle Poop
