New Metallica Album.com

Independent retailers coast to coast hope so, and they’re banding together Saturday to spread the message on the first Record Store Day, with deep discounts, exclusive items for sale, goodie giveaways and visits from noted musicians.

The day’s biggest event will take place right in the Bay Area at 2 p.m. April 19th, as Metallica stops by the Rasputin Music store at 630 San Antonio Ave. in Mountain View.

Four hundred fans will get in to “shake and howdy” with the metal masters of Marin, making their first in-store appearance in nearly a decade. The store is asking folks not to start lining up for wristbands till 8 a.m. (though I imagine a few people may choose to ignore that suggestion).
