Record Shop Day Recognized By Parliament!
MOJO HAS JUST received word that Frank McAveety, the Scottish MSP and former Lord Provost of Glasgow will be raising an Early Day Motion in the Scottish Parliament to support Saturday’s Record Shop Day celebrations. Will London’s witless witan follow suit? (GWB must have listened to some Grand Funk whilst doing bong hits with his Yale homeboys! Come on George- step up for the long players!)
Meanwhile, Sister Ray Records in London’s Soho has announced that Domino acts Lightspeed Champion and Wild Beasts will play live on their premises on April 19. Spillers in Cardiff (reputedly the world’s oldest record shop, established in 1894) expect a visit from respected Radio Wales broadcaster and roots music savant Frank Hennessy.

Metallica is doing signing @ Rasputin Mountain View on Saturday. Unfortunately HappyParts will be filming the first episode of The Agency, and then searching for the Afikomen at his parents house that evening. Everyday is record store day for HappyParts. $1.00 LP bins is where the magic happens. For US Record Shop Activity for Record Store Day- Visit your local shops! Bless Eric from Criminal Records – Total Indie Shop Soldier!
