Record Store Day is the event for music aficionados. The annual event celebrates record stores across the country—no, not chain CD shops, but actual, local music shops that continually carry the greatest vinyl from major and independent labels. The best part is that many record stores will have their own parties with musical performances as well as special releases. Here in Baton Rouge, the Atomic Pop Shop will host its own event, featuring an array of Record Store Day exclusive pressings and live performances from Secret Annexe, The Patsies, and Clay Parker. The fun begins at 9 a.m. For more information, call 771-8455.
