5-What’s your opinion about Record Store Day?

I think its VITAL and the re-introduction of vinyl in the last 10 years has been amazing too! I’m old school in that way but my kids who are 8 & 5 love the whole experience of buying a record. Taking away the corporate side of it, the fact that so many new records come out and there is also serious buzz about it worldwide. I played with my a band BANDANTE last year for Rough Trade’s Record Store Day in London, it was awesome!
