it’s record store day

Here’s another use for your tax refund — go buy some vinyl. Face it, everything used to be better. But you too can enjoy the clicks and pops and this ‘warmth’ I hear so much about. And at no extra cost, you get the big album covers (how do people clean their pot nowadays)? New York City is making a big day of it with little performances and special releases by all the right people. So go patronize your nearest record store and stimulate the damn economy. And remember — lift with your legs.

Here is my short list of local shops — feel free to add any I missed.

• What Cheer Antiques and Vintage/South Angell Street/Wayland Square

• Round Again Records/ 278 Wickenden Street

• Tom’s Tracks/281 Thayer Street/this was going to close, did it?

• In Your Ear (formerly Zingg)/Main Street/Warren
