If you are going to do Black Friday (which is another discussion entirely), consider patronizing one of Tumbleweed's Black owned businesses.

If you are strapped for ideas. ⚡ will be celebrating Record Store Day on Friday marked with special, new, and regional releases. There's some good stuff this year.

We open at 11 am-~~ish~~ because I am not insane and opening a store at 4 am and I assume you are not either.

	~~People actually still buy records?~~ People actually go out at 4am to shop? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	diluvial 2017-11-23 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	That's debatable? Most people shop online I think. But stores seem to want them to come out at 4 am to shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	embered 2017-11-23 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Or like, on iTunes. That's ridiculous. Unless the store is only open between 4am and 5am. No. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you like autotuned singles from drag queens and reality television stars, iTunes is an valid option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I bought it. You remember, I played it last year at the X-men Christmas thing where everyone thought Jean was pregnant but she was actually a cosmic bird alien or something. It's just terrible. I just liked the absurd idea of it so much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As the God of Thunder, I think I should be a patron of your store. What's good? I don't know much Midgardian music. I saw Queen on there-- I know them. Who doesn't? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	diluvial 2017-11-23 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	I'm actually my own thunder goddess. It depends on what you're looking for. What do you like about Queen or know by them? They had a pretty long run so evolved over it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_spaceviki700 2017-11-23 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Well met, thunder goddess. I have heard of Midgardians with powers. Up until recently, I thought I needed the aid of my hammer, Mjolnir to use my electricity. Turns out, it was inside me the whole time. I like the song about a tiger defying laws of gravity. That man sings like an Aesir. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I wasn't about to, but I have to to get the exclusive records. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess part of the rationale of RSD is getting people out of shit like Best Buy and back to their indie record stores. Idk, it's the first year I've qualified for it. But it's not like I'm going to stop selling or spinning them if people don't buy them Friday.

But I do only have like 6 of the Tori :(

	I'm all for indie record stores. They don't have them in small towns like the one I'm from. Damn, okay, I'll be there when you open. Tooooori. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nah. I can put one aside. Like I said, I'm interested in low-key. We basically open when I get there, which can be dependent on Wolverine's moods.

I know what you mean, they had been heavily cracking down on the importation of western in Cairo when I left. It was touch or go what could be acquired and how rapidly when unless you stole walkmen from tourists or something like that.

It actually hasn't been so bad here. I managed to wedge my way into an existing displaced-run comic shop and started with about 2000 dollars to build a stock then trolling prowling flea markets, estate sales, and ebay for a while. Then the woman who ran the comic half left and I took over.

There's a solid network for record store owners, and it's a great in with localish bands and studios.

	He strikes me as a Johnny Cash man. It's flat and crappy. Do you miss Cairo? I heard they have women-only buses. Which is cool, but sad that we need that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think that's what he calls his "eclectic tastes" Yes and no. It is strange not being there, but it had a lot of bullshit too.--particularly for those who stand out. I miss the 80s though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
