<b>WHAT’S IN STORE?:</b> It’s been a long time since most of us set foot in a record store, but this is definitely one experience you can’t get from iTunes. Out alternative rock groups The Cliks (pictured) and Hunter Valentine team up with the Dollyrots for an in-store performance at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 2 at The Record Collector, 358 Farnsworth Ave., Bordentown, N.J. It’s definitely more fun than downloading their songs and watching footage of the show on YouTube, so get off your ass and go! For more information, call (609) 324-0880. Diversions: Aug. 27-Sept. 2
