Today is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, and that means one thing: Black Friday, the busiest, shopping day of the year. While that can make for a less than ideal shopping experience, indie record stores across the country have gotten together to help keep up the holiday cheer with Record Store Day Black Friday, offering unique recordings from some of your favorite artists, including Conor Oberst.

Oberst is on board this year with the release of a special, limited-edition 7" featuring two exclusive tracks recorded during the sessions for his 2014 Nonesuch Records debut album, Upside Down Mountain, that are unavailable anywhere else: "Standing on the Outside Looking In" and "Sugar Street." Rolling Stone said of Upside Down Mountain: "A sumptuous immersion in '70s California folk pop, it is the most immediately charming album he has ever made." The 7” single was cut by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service and pressed at Record Industry in the Netherlands.

To pick up a copy of the 7" while supplies last, head to your local record store. To find a participating shop near you and to find out what other special releases are available this Record Store Day Black Friday, head to recordstoreday.com.

It was just announced that Conor Oberst will join the line-up for the all-star concert celebrating the life and songs of Emmylou Harris at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, in January. Before then, he performs in two special benefit shows: Holiday Cheer for FUV at the Beacon Theatre in New York City December 8, featuring label mate Natalie Merchant, among others; and the KCSN benefit show with Ryan Adams and David Gray at the Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge, California, December 12.

    Jeremy Denk's album Ives Denk is out now. Released in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Ives' birth this Saturday, it features the composer's four violin sonatas, performed with violinist Stefan Jackiw, as well as remastered versions of his Sonatas No. 1 and 2 for piano, from Denk's debut recording, Jeremy Denk Plays Ives. "Mr. Denk's playing exuded affinity for Ives and vivid imagination," the New York Times says. "Mr. Jackiw, deftly balancing fervor and elegance, beautiful tone and earthy colorings, proved a comparably inspired Ivesian." Denk writes of Ives' music in the Times: "Its animating idea is generous: A restless search to find more in America than we thought, or even hoped, to find ... His best advice—advice we could all use—is to open your ears."
