Harmonix giving away a free Doors song at music stores for Record Store Day

This coming Friday is known in America as
Black Friday, the day when millions spend their post-Thanksgiving Day off shopping for Christmas presents (and thus retailers all get to make sure they end the year "in the black"). In a more rebellious circle, it's also known as
Buy Nothing Day, an anti-consumerism protest against a culture of spending. And here's one more celebration: Friday will also be known
as "Record Store Day," a day to frequent your local record store and keep it alive in the face of the digital music revolution.
The music lovers at Harmonix are on board with that last one: The
Rock Band 3 developer is offering free song tokens at participating record stores, and the purchase of any CD or record at those stores will earn you a free download of
The Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" to play in
Rock Band 3. The deal is only while supplies last, unfortunately -- you'll need an actual card with a code to download the song.
Good luck to everyone who goes out to find one. We'll be enjoying Friday's
other celebration,
Mongolian Independence Day. Where's our DLC for that,
Harmonix?
Road House.
