It’s about to be that time again! Time for the third annual Record Store Day! As always we have some rather deep discounts on all stock in the store, a full day planned of in-store performances, tons of exclusive releases(list is below!) and just an absolute blast of a time.

Did we mention deep discounts? Well, if there was something you had your eye on lately, Record Store Day would be the day to get it! We’ll be discounting everything as follows…

•20% off all new CDs, LPs, DVDs, Accessories(Record Players, Record Maintainence, etc)! This does exclude Record Store Day specific items due to their limited nature and exclusivity of this day.

•10% off all items already on sale! This includes all of our CDs on the listening stations and anything with a red sticker.

•33% off all used CDs, LPs, DVDs!

We couldn’t be more proud of the line-up we have for this year. We have some terrific bands coming in from all over the country, lending their time to the cause of Record Store Day and the best way to show your gratitude would be to come out and watch! Here is a tentative line-up for the day!

Oh my what are they doing to my Secor Rd? Actually in isn’t (yet) as bad as I would imagine. I will share a few tips no GPS will give you.

1) Coming North on Secor isn’t bad at all. You might have to wait an extra light at Sylvania.Of course, rush hour may be another story.

2) Coming from the West. I would advise making your way to Sylvania taking a left turn on Secor. Again, Secor heading North isn’t bad so 475 will work also.

3)Driving from the East 475, Monroe and Sylvania all work OK with minor delays

4) Coming from the North. Are you a patient person? Secor is a slow process. Douglas or Talmadge to Sylvania is recommended.

Extra credit tip. You can take the alley which connects to 19 Hole and Sylvania in and out of our lot. It’s an easy turn to head East, South or West.

So that brings us to our new program…5 for $5! We will be offering 5 CDs (new of course) for a rock bottom price of under five bucks!! We give you another reason to stop by! Here’s our first throw:

LIVE AT THE OHIO THEATRE The Polka Floyd Show (Static)
First, blasphemy: Pink Floyd is kind of boring.
Cutting a vast swath across Pink’s entire discography, the band injects the late great classic rock band’s music with much-needed fun. This live album recorded at the Ohio Theatre on Lagrange Street perfectly captures the group’s sound, thanks to a killer set list and the overall vibe you get by combining spacey music, scorched-earth guitar, and a polka beat delivered by an air-tight band.

Equally cool is Polka Floyd’s willingness to plumb the depths of Pink Floyd’s archive, serving up odd tunes like “Seamus” from “Meddle” or weird tracks from the Syd Barrett days like “Jugband Blues,” followed by fierce renditions of more familiar songs like “Metal Machine Music,” “Pigs” (with Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” seamlessly worked into the mix), and “Comfortably Numb.”

Any discussion of the Polka Floyd Show requires a caveat to ensure the
uninitiated that the band’s raison d’etre — polkafied versions of Pink
Floyd — is not schtick. The band doesn’t take itself too seriously, but
it also never sells the music short. Crank this up loud and perhaps for
the first time in your life, you’ll actually dance to Floyd’s music.

The band is having a CD release party Friday at Culture Clash Records at 7 p.m. and at Mickey Finn’s Pub at 10 p.m.
