Fucked Up put out one of the most ambitious records of the year with David Comes to Life - a concept record telling the story of people who are young and in love. As part of the most recent Record Store Day, the band put out David’s Town, a record consisting of fictional bands from the fictional town where David Comes to Life takes place.

Among the made up punk bands like Porcelain on Porcelain, Hateful Coil, and The Wavy Originals, there was this gem from Animal Man. And now, their song “Do You Feed” comes to life in video form. It’s Fucked Up guitarist Ben “Young Governor” Cook and bassist Sandy “Mustard Gas” Miranda walking around, eating food, dancing. You know, the story of people who are young and in love.

Saturday is the 4^th Annual Record Store Day! Give thanks to that fragile black disc and the (dwindling amount of) shops that champion it by getting up extra early and waiting in line to look through stacks of music before leaving without buying anything. I kid, I kid! Seriously, you should buy at least one 7”, you lousy bum.

Stores throughout the city will be hosting bands to complement all the give-aways, promos and special releases from bands like Deerhoof, Kate Bush, Big Star, Caribou, Nirvana, The Decemberists, Bad Brains, Panda Bear, Wavves, OFF!, Built to Spill, Ryan Adams, The Boss, Sonic Youth and Grinderman.

Below are the bold-line performances at your fave area shops. Visit the official Record Store Day site for more participating stores.

Kim’s Video opens @ 9:00a: Folky folks Angel Olsen and Bow Ribbons play the East Vill institution at 5:00p.  

Sound Fix opens @ 10:30a: Sound Fix opens early with undisclosed deals. Dream-pop duo Damon & Naomi play at 7:00p

Other Music opens @ 11:00a: Be one of the first 100 folks to buy Regina Spektor‘s new Four From Far record and get a pass for her intimate show (where she’ll be recording next year’s RSD release) later that day.

Generation Records opens @ 11:00a: Obits, The Jay Vons, I Hate Our Freedom and Spa Castles play and Yo La Tengo (all three!) and WFMU’s Tom Scharpling DJ.

Fat Beats opens @ noon: What I don’t know about hip hop would surprise and disgust you. That being said, even I can sense this is a pretty rad RSD setup: pop-up shop in a warehouse with 9 hours of performances, contests, discounts and food.

Cake Shop @ 5:00p: Not officially an RSD entrant, Cake Shop is still offering goods and a show. Eternal Summers, McDonalds, Natural Child, Widowspeak, Hands & Knees, Overlord, Night Collectors and Twitchers play. Entry is $8

I spent a good amount of time in college drinking whiskey and listening to T. Rex records. (That’s what college was, right?) And it turns out, I wasn’t the only one. This weekend, as part of Record Store Day, Ty Segall will release a 6-song EP entirely of T. Rex Covers. Guess what it’s gonna be called? Ty Rex! Get it! (You get it.) Check out his rendition of the song “Fist Heart Mighty Dawn Dart” below. (via Altered Zones)

This is just one of many impressive releases coming to your local record store on Saturday. Where will you be picking up stacks of vinyl to celebrate? Any other Record Store Day releases you are really stoked on?
