New Orleans

Black Friday is almost upon us, which means that Record Store Day will sprinkle some special releases in participating stores.

The strange phenomenon that is Record Store Day is back this Black Friday with all sorts of exclusive records sent to indie record stores. The official list of releases is here but there's no guarantee which store will have what. You can always try calling but most won't let you reserve one. In the grand tradition of Black Friday, you gotta wait in a big ol' line.

We thought we'd squeeze in one more opportunity to seize some presents for your loved ones, including yourself. So Emerson & Son are playing host to the first HOLIDAY DIGGIN' PARTY. A miniature Record Raid in time for the holidays. WHERE: Emerson & Son @ 8725 Oak St. NOLA WHEN: 11AM-5PM December 15th 2012 HOW MUCH: FREE ENTRY! Full details still coming together, but we know this much: A bunch of your favorite music vendors from around New Orleans sellin' music. Free entry Uptown Food, Drink Merriment To be announced/decided: DJs? Bands? an actual flyer
