This year, I approached Record Store Day very differently.
No getting up at the crack of dawn.

No standing in long lines.

And most importantly—no buying records out of pure FOMO.
Instead, I took my time, waited for the lines to die down, and made more intentional choices. Even stopped for coffee and came back later.
And for the first time, I actually listened to everything I picked up before sitting down to talk about it.

In this video, I go through my Record Store Day 2026 haul and share:
What I picked up

My first impressions after actually listening
And why this year felt like a completely different experience
Curious—did you go all-in on Record Store Day this year, or did you approach it differently too?
