The joy of perusing stacks of wax — you know, actually being able to touch the music — and sharing notes with fellow vinyl geeks is reason enough to support independent record stores. But the third-annual Record Store Day is the perfect excuse to stock up on some fresh LPs — and help bolster indie-music retailers in the process. Today, visit any of the dozens of NYC stores participating in this international event and enjoy cut-rate sales, wicked limited-edition, one-day-only releases, and a slew of free in-stores (including Yo La Tengo DJing at Generation Records, Bow Ribbons at Kim's, Regina Spektor at Other Music, and more).
