Abstract

"This Just In" piece on Record Store Day, a new independent music store holiday/promotion which aims to offset the steady decline of the record industry. Chris Brown, vice-president of Bull Moose Music, touts his stores success in the current issue of Billboard, noting that the store's staying power is due to the fact that it's not just a music store anymore. Much of the store's traffic comes from used items, DVDs, video games, and collectibles, all priced lower than most mall chains. Bull Moose's ten stores and Newbury Comics' South Portland location are among the hundreds of independent retailers marking Record Store Day on April 19, with in-store performances, giveaways, and other specials.
