Today's Morning Edition music is from the Violent Femmes with "Love Love Love" from their new EP "Happy New Year."

It's the first new music that the Milwaukee-based band has released in 15 years.

It's been pressed on clear vinyl and goes on sale Saturday as part of the ninth annual Record Store Day festivities.

Hundreds of new records and reissues will be on sale Saturday. Many record stores will feature live music as well in what has become the biggest sales day of the year for vinyl.
