Instead of giving more of your hard-earned money to iTunes, why not go down to your local independent record store this weekend and get a super-rare picture disc with the metal-ized faces of One Direction on it?

This year's eighth annual Record Store Day features exclusive vinyl and CDs (and even cassettes!) from more than 400 artists, ranging from classic rockers like Bruce Springsteen and Aerosmith to rap god Notorious B.I.G., indie legends the Pixies and Hüsker Dü, and newer bands like Parquet Courts and Tame Impala.

In all, more than 1,000 stores will participate in the event, so get your shopping list together and get there early, because supplies are limited.

Here are MTV News' picks for the day's 19 must-haves.

1. Black Lips, Funny

Get one of the best songs off of the Atlanta punk band's new record Underneath the Rainbow on a fancy, fancy 7". It also includes an alternate version produced by The Black Keys' Patrick Carney. Double the black, double must have.

2. One Direction, Midnight Memories

Not only does this record include exclusive track "Rock Me," it also features a pretty badass picture of the band all glam-metaled-out. Get it. Got it? Good.

3. Sky Ferreira, Night Time, My Time

If you liked Sky's racy cover for her way excellent debut record, you should probably snap up the picture disc. We're guessing these will go fast.

4. Green Day, Demolicious

Couldn't get enough Green Day with their three-record series ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!? Never you worry. The dudes are putting out 18 demo recordings from those sessions, as well as the unreleased rack, "State of Shock." Snap it up in red or clear vinyl or on cassette! (P.S. Cassettes are like rectangular CDs.)

5. The Julie Ruin, Brightside/In The Picture

We'll assume you dug Kathleen Hanna-fronted Julie Ruin's record Run Fast. So you better do just that to snap up these two previously unreleased songs.

6. LCD Soundsystem, The Long Goodbye (LCD Soundsystem Live At Madison Square Garden)

In case you missed LCD Soundsystem's four-hour-long farewell show, don't fret -- you can take it all in via this special edition box set, produced and mixed by founder and frontman James Murphy. There, now you know what you're doing with the rest of your weekend.

7. Liars, Mess On A Mission

Liars teased their new record by Photoshopping colored yarn into the weirdest of places -- billboards, playground, their underwear. For their special Record Store Day edition of the album, they're offering up a limited number of clear vinyl records with said yarn pressed inside. Looks like the mess is contained. For now.

8. Nirvana, Pennyroyal Tea/I Hate Myself And Want To Die

This 7" was originally slated for release in 1994, but plans were halted due to Kurt Cobain's suicide.

9. The Orwells, The Righteous One

The Orwells' new record, Disgraceland, might not be out until this summer, but come Saturday you can check out two new tracks: "The Righteous One" and "Always N Forever." I know you're excited, but keep your pants on -- lead singer Mario Cuomo certainly is.

10. Katy Perry, Prism

So.many.colors. Katy Perry's most recent release is coming at you -- in picture disc form. Now let's watch all the pretty go 'round and 'round and 'round.

11. R.E.M., Unplugged: The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions

12. Atmosphere, The Lake Nokomis Maxi Single
