While Oktoberfests and air shows, farmers' markets and Pacific Beachfest might all catch your attention, true audiophiles will be lining up on Saturday at the Casbah for another edition of Vinyl Junkies Record Swap. Starting at 11, collectors converge to pore over vinyl colletions and find that special addition. By night, there are some pretty solid shows all over town, but how can we not be excited for Pinback after they've been on a 20-plus city tour during the past month to celebrate the reissue of "Summer of Abbadon" earlier this year. Of course, San Diego got a special Casbah show before the tour, but this is the closing night and worth your efforts to get to the House of Blues.
