Record Store Day…What an excellent idea!  It’s not only really just become a thing.  It’s really just become a great thing!  Record Store Day 2015 is this Saturday, April 18.  As a guy who worked at Second Coming Records (the one between Harvard Square & Central Square in Cambridge, MA as opposed to the one in the West Village; both are closed) as well as the also now defunct Rainbow Books and Records in Honolulu… I can testify that some of life’s best conversations and encounters – not to mention acquisitions – happen at independent retailers of wax.  I had a very enjoyable chat with one of the guys who invented Record Store Day, Michael Kurtz, who gives a sense of the history and takes a look at a few of the titles that’ll be unleashed.  A word from this year’s ambassador Dave Grohl too…

Morrissey, Cash bios, Beatles vs Stones, and sexy guitars…
