If you are not yet familiar with one of the most amazing days of
the year let me help introduce you to what is known as Record Store Day! Celebrated
on the third Saturday of April annually marking 2014 as it’s 7th
year since it’s inception. Created with the inspiration to bring together
amazing music and the culture that is the local independent music
store it has more than succeeded with each year becoming more popular than the
one previous. One of the MANY cool things about Record Store Day is that every
year an “official ambassador” is selected in conjunction with the event… such
ambassadors have included the likes of Jack White, Josh Homme, Ozzy Osborne and
this year’s Chuck D.
I can’t tell you how excited we were for this year’s Record
Store Day! So many great releases and we had an awesome plan to leave the Northwoods and start in Green
Bay, WI at Exclusive Company and Rock n’ Roll Land then work our way
down to Milwaukee, WI before heading across the boarder South to Illinois for the
Easter holiday. Very late Friday night these plans changed…. At least for me. Our boxer
pup Giada has been having some ailments of late, which came to a head and we made
our decision I would stay the weekend home with her to take her to the vet early
in the morning and Matt would continue on with the adventure. (The pup is not doing super great but is a bit better so that is a plus).
Needless to say we
are quite glad he did as we got ALMOST everything on our special Record Store Day release list (which I will post next week). In the mean time here are a few snap shots Matt caught with his
iPhone throughout the day. Enjoy!
