Record Store Day is just a few short weeks away! The annual event where we celebrate the physical side of recorded music is one of MStars' favorite days of the year, and while streaming and online retailers have become all the rage in the recording side of the industry, we still share the love of going to a local record store and warming up our hearts with walking out the door clutching the brand new vinyl of our favorite artist.
