Hotrats Haul, a photo by Burn Black on Flickr.

According to Twitter, today is record store day so since it’s been a while I popped into Hotrats on my way home.  Hotrats to me, is Sunderland’s best (and I think, only) indie record store and is an absolute treasure trove for second hand music and memorabilia.  It’s owned by Marty who used to be in the Toy Dolls (He’s lovely).  What else is lovely is that I ended up with a pretty good haul too, which is always nice.
