Last Saturday we teamed up with the homegrown Origami Vinyl in the quaint neighborhood of Echo Park close to the eskuché headquarters in East Long Angeles. Fans came from near and far not only to dig through crates of their favorite jams but to show support for Record Store Day, the time we pay homage to the small, medium and even the big-box patrons of music. We caught up with a few loyalists to find out what was in their record bag and to hear what they had to say about this unique day.

What are your thoughts on Record Store Day?: It’s great for stores like Origami where they get this much business in one day and it’s nice to see how passionate people are about it. We stood in line for over an hour to show our support.

What are your thoughts on Record Store Day: It’s one of my favorite days of the year; it’s like Christmas! In fact, I couldn’t sleep last night I was so excited. I support independent record stores anyway but this is the day where I get to meet people just as passionate as I am about music.
