What to Buy on RSD Black Friday 2026, Based on Your Thanksgiving Personality
Thanksgiving reveals who people really are. Some carve. Some critique the carving. Some disappear for forty minutes and come back with no explanation. And the next morning, on Record Store Day Black Friday (November 27, doors at 8 AM at both Nivessa stores), all of those people need something to listen to.
Find yourself below. Then tell us what to order so it is waiting in the bins.
The Gravy Guardian
You made the gravy from scratch. You will not tell anyone the recipe. You stood over the stove for an hour and you would do it again. You value craft, patience, and things done the old way.
Your pick: Bill Evans Trio, Across The Alps: The Lugano and Pescara Concerts, or Miles Davis, Copenhagen Live 1969. Slow-cooked, complex, rewards attention. Like gravy.
The Uncle Who Brings Up Classic Rock at Every Pause in Conversation
Someone mentions the weather and you somehow end up explaining the Traveling Wilburys. We love you. Never change.
Your pick: The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 3, The Rolling Stones, Aftermath (US), or the two George Harrison Zoetrope LPs. You will have new material for next year.
The Kids Table Rebel
You are 31 and still at the kids table, and honestly it is the better table. Fewer opinions about real estate, more fun.
Your pick: KATSEYE, The Dance Breaks, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, or Cortis, GREENGREEN_playextended. Bring it back to the kids table. They will crown you.
The One Who Cries During the Toast
Someone says "I'm just grateful we're all here" and you are gone. Full tears. Napkin deployed.
Your pick: Noah Kahan, Draw You Out and The Last of the Bugs, or sombr, in another life. Bring extra napkins.
The Host Who Has Been Awake Since 4 AM
You brined. You basted. You set a table with name cards. You deserve a medal, a nap, and a record that sounds like a vacation.
Your pick: Masayoshi Takanaka, Super Takanaka Live! Put it on, close your eyes, and pretend the dishes are not waiting.
The Cousin Who Arrives Late and Leaves With Leftovers
You showed up during dessert. You left with three containers. Nobody is mad because you are extremely charming.
Your pick: Prince, 3121 Las Vegas Live. Charming, a little extra, shows up fashionably late and steals the whole night.
The Person Who Brought a Store-Bought Pie and Said Nothing
A legend. Efficient. Unbothered.
Your pick: Ramones, Subterranean Jungle Demos. Short, loud, gets in and gets out.
The Family Member Who Puts On Music Without Asking
You took control of the speaker before the turkey came out. You have a playlist called "Thanksgiving Vibes Final FINAL." You are the reason this article exists.
Your pick: Earth, Wind and Fire, Earth, Wind and Fire, or Bill Withers, In Concert: Live at the BBC, 1974. Everybody at the table can agree on these, which is more than anyone can say about the stuffing.
The Person Reading This in Line on Black Friday
You are already here. You already know. Go get your number one pick before someone else does, then grab a donut.
