This year there are signs that with a little help from vinyl and used goods; but mostly by selling more than just music, the downward trend for indie record shops may be finally slowing. But that doesn't mean that they don't need – and deserve – your support this Saturday and every day.

[Plan 9](http://www.plan9music.com/Home?ref=hypebot.com) recently closed it's store in my newly adopted home of [Roanoke, Virginia](https://www.hypebot.com/where-you-make-music-matters/); so it's even more important that I visit the closest thing still left this Saturday – a grassroots store, gathering place, performance hall called [Bazaar Consignments](http://www.facebook.com/people/Bazaar-Consignments/100000180008407#%21/profile.php?id=100000180008407). 

In case you need a little encouragement to support a record store in your local this Saturday, think back to your favorite moments spent in a record store. Maybe you were pawing through piles of used vinyl, arguing the finer points of Nick Drake's lyrics with a female store clerk with more piercings than you've ever seen before or watching a now famous band play a spirited show at full volume just two feet in front of you. To motivate yourself and others to support [Record Store Day](http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home?ref=hypebot.com) in the comments section below, please share…
