The Vinyl District | 107 followers on LinkedIn. The Vinyl District, your daily brick and mortar, indie record store fix, launched in 2007 as an homage to the vinyl medium and Washington, DC’s remaining record stores. In its second year, The Vinyl District (or TVD) partnered with Record Store Day (itself in its second year) as the “official blog” of the event, and with this partnership TVD’s audience became both national and international. TVD relaunched in January of 2011 with the DC model of localized vinyl, record store, and live music lifestyle reporting replicated across the US and into the UK.
