If you don’t think Requests is the coolest record shop on Earth, take me to your leader. On second thought, don’t. Why? National Record Store Day is this Saturday, and I don’t want to miss Requests’ big party (after that, feel free to beam me up). Not only will they have performances by Arise plus Rabbitt and The Propers, but DJ Jay.P and perennial Best of Maui winner DJ Blast will be spinning wax like Rumpelstiltskin spins gold. But mic check this out: GRAB BAGS! Gasp! Because I have friends in high places (not aliens… yet), yours truly got first contact with this year’s goods. But listen, I’ve been sworn to secrecy about the specifics (PickiLeak: it’s all awesome!), so I’ll instead remind you about last year’s grab bag awesomeness: I got a MGMT slipmat, a stack of exclusive vinyl releases and even a reusable bag (record-sized, of course) that I won’t be embarrassed to carry around. (Want to get even more excited? Turn to page 14, where Album of the Week features a special vinyl edition in honor of this extra special day.) 244-9315; @RequestsHI on Twitter
