Record Store Day

Singer-songwriter Steve Gunn, formerly of Kurt Vile and the Violators, plays selections of his bluesy guitar rep, while a crop of local DJs rounds out the lineup. Noon–8pm.

Wrecords by Monkey, the folks behind the Gowanus Whole Foods’ record section, opens its own store today. In addition to the requisite DJs, the inaugural bash promises $1 LPs and free PBR. noon–9pm.

HHR is, simply put, the best-priced, least-picked-over used-LP store in New York City—racks are stuffed with vinyl both obscure and classic. While it won't have any official RSD releases, the store will have a record maker pressing custom seven-inches on site. Noon–8pm.

This downtown standby is hosting an eclectic all-day bash, featuring in-store performers in a number of genres: catch local art-punk faves Pop. 1280, avant-jazz saxist extraordinaire Matana Roberts, DIY improv songsmith Lonnie Holley and noise-scene luminary Pete Swanson. 10am—8pm.

DJs, including King Britt, fete the release of photographer Eilon Paz’s new anthology, Dust & Grooves, in which he interviews the world’s most dedicated record collectors. 6pm—10pm.

Head to the U.K.-transplanted shop (which finally got its live-show situation sorted) for an all-day music affair featuring Merge-signed indie-pop act Hospitality and noise-punk outfit Perfect Pussy. 9am—11pm.
