I can't tell you how, year after year, I grow colder and colder to this big time weekend. Coachella and Record day. Who gives a shit?
Coachella is for Cubscouts who like camping and
pretending its Woodstock and looking at tiny dots that make the bleachers at Metlife feel like the best seats in the house, while bands they would have been a million times better off seeing while they toured their town, lecture you about war and charity and deem to play from a mile away before leaving the 99% to their woes and getting fucked up with Rihanna and Thom Yorke in the VIP area.
Record Store Day is to popular music what Justice For Traylon Martin is to racial profiling: an excuse to pretend you're doing something when you aren't doing a God damn thing.
Reciord Stores are deader than Elvis, deader than vinyl (which they resemble) and deader than CDs will be before this decade is over and done. Deader than mp3s will be pretty soon. People can fuck about pretending it makes the slightest it of difference but it doesn't.
Fuck em both, i can't be bothered.
