Songs We Love is a series and a podcast that looks at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery stream, WUNC Music.
This Saturday is Record Store Day, a worldwide celebration of record stores and the people that keep them afloat in the age of streaming and digital downloads. To celebrate, we invited some local record store owners and managers to come by the studio and tell us about what they've been listening to lately, and what the occasion means to them.
Today we've got Josh Garrett from Main Street Vinyl in Burlington, NC. Josh talks to us about the lead single off of the latest album by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, 'You Worry Me.' He also talks about Record Store Day at Main Street Vinyl. They make the day a party that includes live music, raffles, etc. Josh says there will be plenty of special releases that day, but the one he's most looking forward to is the first vinyl pressing of Phish's 1996 album 'Billy Breathes.'
