From a record store owner's point of view:

I have to agree, every point made is spot-on.

Record Store Day - or as it's more commonly known, 'Latest Gimmicky Flaming Lips Release Day' - is such a pile of shit. Save your money and buy something you really want (as opposed to something you are being made to think you want) on a day when you don't need to queue for hours just to enter the store.

I'm not even sure if this is supposed to be ironic.

there's usually like one or two things that are legit worth getting though which is how they get you, you go for the thing you wanted, don't get it and remorse buy a load of other shit, see At the Drive In relationship of command reissue in 2012.

The problem is that people get whipped into a frenzy over this limited shit. It's either so limited that your chances of getting hold of it is almost zero or you think it's limited yet it's still available in stores now even three years later - like Relationship of Command for example.

Total bullshit and I'm glad that the stores themselves are calling it out. Of course the whole thing was started with the best intentions but in a few short years it's gotten out of hand.

I wonder where the other 3 copies could be. What are the chances they were distributed outside US and UK?

Why do music labels like Universal, Warner and Sony ruin everything?
