We’re coming at you with the Rundown a little late this week, but this one comes packing the big guns. Aside from weeknight appearances from Wavves, Billy Bragg, and our local teen faves Crime Wave, Saturday is RECORD STORE DAY. That’s right, it’s the one day a year that record stores finally get the kind of patronage they should be getting year-round. Lucky for us, this also means free shows at Grimey’s, the Groove, AND new record store/hot spot Fond Object. No complaining there. Isn’t there something else we usually celebrate on the 20th as well? Hmm….
