Happy Record Store Day, everybody!

And also, happy Black Friday to all you Thanksgiving celebrators! As you may or may not know, Record Store Day is a day that has been celebrated internationally ever since 2008 in order to commemorate independent record stores. The "main" Record Store Day actually takes place on the third Saturday or April but starting from 2010, there has also been an additional Black Friday version of the day. It is marked by a myriad of music-related events: concerts, gatherings, and special album releases, such as specific Record Store Day issues etc. I too was supposed to go to my favourite local store but unfortunately, the less-than-spectacular Danish weather got the best of me so I just came straight home to sulk instead. Too bad.

Anyway, I hope you've had a better whatever day it is you're celebrating, or, in case you're not celebrating anything at all, Friday. Here's a song from one of the Black Friday releases for your weekend: it's called "Guilty As Charged" and it's by Tegan and Sara, a Canadian indie pop duo consisting of identical twin sisters.
