This Saturday independent record stores across the states are throwing a party for themselves, and you're invited. Record Store Day is a day to celebrate the invaluable role of the mom & pop record store to any city's local music scene: local bands are able to find shelf space, music enthusiasts are able to track down that long lost import album with their help, and we all know big box and vinyl don't mix. They are one of the main arteries that keeps music pumping through our hearts.
It's never been easy though.
Smaller budgets and less shelf space mean that indie record stores have to be more selective in what they carry in-store, less buying power means generally higher prices for the end customer, and the advent of EBay and Amazon coupled with lower general CD sales has been a strong blow to the industry.
That's why it's more important than ever to support your local record store. Hit the jump to find out where you can head locally this Saturday to pick up a new (or old) album, along with some great deals coinciding with Record Store Day.

What's the deal?
Stained glass. And lots of it. Not necessarily the grand works you find in churches (although they do work with restoration of those), but the type of glass that works as classy art in your home. GlassWorks in Norwood is the convergence of Stan Sabick's Beveler's Glass Studio and MaryJane Riggi's award-winning Tiffany Art Glass Gallery. Not only do they do some sweet decorative glass work such as panels (the steamboat/Roebling bridge glass above is quite cool), lamps and jewelry, but also do stained glass restoration and sell supplies for DIY stained glass enthusiasts.
Perfect for?
Homeowners with huge old homes. Think Gaslight District, Wallace Woods, Newport and Northside.
Where to get it?
2501 Norwood Ave in Norwood, 45212.
How much will it cost?
Usually, the works range anywhere from $75-$2000, with most items in the $150-$400 range. However, this weekend (November 3-4), GlassWorks is having a sale where you can get 30% off most of the products in store. In addition, 5% of all sales from the sale are being donated to HART, a dog and cat rescue operation.
Not that the coolest new store in Cincinnati needs any more press, but this sale is pretty killer. Through August, Park + Vine is offering 30% off green goods from bamboo clothing pioneers Sameunderneath, footwear companies Blackspot and Vegetarian shoes and the very hip handbag company Helen E. Riegle. 30% off! Go! Right Away! Where? 1109 Vine St. at the corner of Central Parkway (hence Park + Vine) in the new Gateway Quarter - or as all the hip kids are calling it, "The Q."
