After working all day we hurried right over to Bob’s for Record Store Day 2010! We arrived at 4,000 Holes to a full store and Stranglers of Bombay rocking out in the corner. It was a burst of energy and people were having a great time. Stranglers of Bombay were rocking it in the corner playing originals and covers. It is so fucking cool to hear live music in a record store, it fits like glue! We sang and bopped along to their music as we checked everything out!
Matt managed to find the following at 4,000 Holes:
Record Store Day Exclusive – Against Me! 45 w/ I was a Teenage Anarchist
Record Store Day (Red Vinyl) – Passion Pit 45 w/ Little Secrets & Little Secrets Felix Da Housecat Pink Enemy Remix
