Black Friday is Record Store Day

Just happened upon a mention of Record Store Day while tiptoeing around Facebook (as my legal self, haven't set up a Facebook page for Rudolph, at least not yet) and the event, normally in mid-April, has added a Black Friday edition this year. As usual, there's a list of releases only available at indy record stores, and you should peruse it to see if your favorites are taking part with anything special. For the readership, there are two vinyl entries dedicated to the holiday: Fear, with a 45 version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," b-side "Another Christmas Beer"; and acoustic duo The Civil Wars have a 4-song 10-inch EP with two holiday songs, one of which is "Tracks in the Snow," also the title song of the mini-collection. (Unless there's another way of getting them, I won't be posting them here, as I'm getting out of the vinyl business personally.) Guys, frighten your significant others and tell 'em you wanna go shopping on Black Friday. Gals, well, you were going out anyway, right?
