It’s Record Store Day 2010 – a day to go out and support your local record store.
Here’s what Infected Mushroom have to say about the role their local record store had to play in their development as musicians.
Check it out and then go support your local record store!
that was a cool little video… I of coarse had heard Infected Mushroom before but of coarse never knew the people behind it. I love this stuff.
They seemed pretty grounded for musicians too. As grounded as one gets normally I guess lol.
Really cool. thanks for sharing. Seen them like 5 times. I met Erez in an elevator at WMC a couple years back and he is completely cool and grounded like the last post implies.
I heard that the Rolling Stones had produced a disc of an old, unreleased track for Record Store Day, which will also be available for download – duh? Is it just me?
One thing I've long admired about Infected Mushroom is how they inject SO MUCH FUN into their music — they get criticized for their adventures into vocals and guitars, but that's exactly why they can innovate in a non-pretentious way. I have big love for catchy melodies + experimental production, and time and time again, they've really delivered. I just wish their recent album had followed a suggested early theme of having each track named after a restaurant they like. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Black_… ) That would've been a tasty first.
What I find most enjoyable about small, intimate establishments like mom 'n' pop record shops is that there's a REAL PERSON (gasp!) who's knowledgeable (double gasp!) and who can help you make informed buying decisions based on your history, and value comes not just in the form of sales — but that customer rapport.
