Happy Record Store Day!!!

Happy Record Store Day everybody! Today is a great day to celebrate all those independent bands, labels, and stores around the world! I hope most people have already been out to one today but if not, check here for venues! I’ve been in-and-out of my local record store, Von’s Records, for most of the day. I showed up early and got some really really cool stuff, and they have bands playing inside and outside all day! Here’s a quick list of my Record Store Day purchases, and I might actually go back for more. WHAT DID YOU GUYS GET??? (and I apologize for the shitty cell phone pics)

UPDATE: I uploaded most of the these releases, with the exception of the Soft Pack (it’s just their album). Just click on the record picture to get ‘em!

Happy Birthday is one of the newest signees to popular label, Sub Pop. Sub Pop has already had a very impressive lineup so far in 2010, including AFCGT and Retribution Gospel Choir, and Happy Birthday doesn’t take anything away from that. Happy Birthday are nearly experts at garage pop, full of tasty guitar licks and catchy-as-hell choruses, making every song delightfully fun! It just seems like this LP could never not be liked, it’s just impossible with songs like “Girls FM” and “Maxine the Teenage Eskimo”. It’s only appropriate that the Sub Pop write-up constantly refers to the band as “kids”, and the last song is called “Fun”. You can preorder the CD/LP right HERE for a relatively low price, and also get a bunch of free stuff (a sticker sheet and poster)!!!
