RECORD EXCHANGE CUSTOM PLAYLIST IN OUR THINKINDIE DIGITAL STORE!

Did you know that The Record Exchange ThinkIndie Digital Store features a custom playlist that we compile each week for you — for you! — to stay hip to all the fab new releases featured in the store?

Our playlist includes recommended new releases, ThinkIndie exclusives and select tracks from ThinkIndie’s large collection of free downloads. And what’s more, all downloads are high-quality 320KB, DRM-free files!

THIS WEEK’S HIGHLIGHTS:

• The ongoing My Morning Jacket Benefit Sale for ear X-tacy just got expanded to include two additional MMJ titles at special sale prices!

If you believe in the importance of the independent record store, go to The Record Exchange ThinkIndie Digital Store today and purchase these fine titles:

Okonokos ($9.99/double album)
Acoustic Citsuoca ($2.99)
Celebracion de la Cuidad Natal ($4.99)

My Morning Jacket and ATO Records are donating all proceeds to ear X-tacy, the storied Louisville independent record store where Celebracion was partially recorded.

The store is struggling to survive and in danger of closing, but after the owner announced that ear X-tacy might close, a group of supporters, including My Morning Jacket, went into action. Read about ear X-tacy’s situation HERE.

OTHER GOODIES:

• Check out our new Vinyl Rip Exclusives, which deliver vinyl-quality sound in a 320KB digital file (you have to hear them to believe it). We have two titles from two buzz-worthy indie bands, UME’s Sunshower and Dark Dark Dark‘s Bright Bright Bright for under 6 bucks apiece!
• Exclusive Gaslight Anthem Live at Park Ave. EP for a special $4.99 sale price! Recorded at Orlando ThinkIndie store Park Ave. CDs, this live recording was taken during the band’s tour with Rise Against, Thrice and Alkaline Trio. This is a full-band recording that includes a cover of the Robert Bradley’s Black Water Surprise song “Once Upon a Time.”

GO LISTEN BOISE BENEFIT CONCERT TONIGHT AT NEUROLUX: 3 BANDS, $3!

Our friends Go Listen Boise will host three local bands for a 21+ show at Neurolux at 8 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, April 21). The cover is only $3 and benefits Go Listen Boise and all the radical things it does for the Boise music scene.

Apple Charm will play first and has decided that it will be the band’s farewell show. Sleepy Seeds will play a full-band set with their new lineup, and Beautician will finish the night and play their last show before Brett Netson heads out of town with Built to Spill.

Go Listen Boise is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization with the mission of fostering a vibrant and diverse musical culture in the Boise area. Our mission is to encourage Boiseans of all ages to “Go Ahead, Get an Earful!” – in other words, be an active participant in the live music experience. Go Listen Boise believes that local live music improves the lifestyle of Boiseans, and the time is right to grow Boise’s music culture. We have spent the last year and half establishing relationships with many musicians, local music supporters, venue owners and audience members. In the next year we will continue to support and nurture musical experiences for our community. Listeners and musicians of all ages, musical genres and experience levels are encouraged to participate by signing up for our weekly local music e-blast, known as The Neighborhood Noise, by sending a “sign me up please” request to info@golistenboise.org.
