If you’re a record collector in New York City, then we’ve got your weekend plans set. On Saturday, July 27, Discogs — one of the top names in the vinyl-selling business — is hosting a free fair in Times Square. As the name Crate Diggers implies, this is your opportunity to sift through tons of albums and score big on new releases, quality repressings, coveted titles, or even rare albums.

What’s going to be even more fun than walking away with some new vinyl for your collection, however, is the after-party. The actual fest, which runs from 10 am to 6 pm EST, is free for everyone, but from 7 pm to 1 am, there’s going to be a can’t-miss concert at the Playstation Theater in Times Square. Method Man and Redman, Roy Ayers, Funk Flex and DJ Red Alert, Smif-N-Wessun, Black Moon, Mad Skillz, and more are set to take the stage.

Normally, tickets to the after-party would set you back $50. However, if you snag one now and enter the discount code DISCOGS at checkout, then your ticket will only be $25. You read that right — because our friends at Discogs are so sweet, they want you to come to Crate Diggers for half-off the normal price.

So not only will have the opportunity to find your new favorite vinyl, but you’ll also be able to see legendary acts like Roy Ayers and Method Man in one night. For cheap.

9 shows to watch if you love The Walking Dead

AMC's zombie show was a phenomenon. These shows will help you revisit that thrill

Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The Walking Dead started as a niche zombie series in the early 2010s, but it built up steam and transformed into a runaway hit just a few seasons after its inception. By the middle of the decade, Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic series was the most popular program on basic cable TV. It revolutionized long-form storytelling and created a rabid fandom that allowed it to run for over a decade and spawn many spinoffs.

Undead monsters aren't the only thing that made The Walking Dead such a fascinating and addictive watch, though. The depth of the characters and the survivalist strategies of the entire group made for thrilling, adrenaline-filled episodes that other shows had a hard time matching. We have the best shows like The Walking Dead to watch next if you love the binge-worthiness of world-ending drama in this comic book adaptation.
