On April 16th of this year, the annual Record Store Day will be upon us again, and new music from some of the biggest names of the music will not be in short supply. One such notable release will be an EP fully comprised of Franz Ferdinand covers performed by the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Stephen Merrit (of the Magnetic Fields), Debbie Harry (of Blondie), and Peaches. So get out to your local independent record store and show them some love on 4/16.
