Before there was an iTunes "store" and torrent sites, the record store played a vital part in thousands of people's lives -- a church for the sinners. For some this hasn't changed. But by and l... Continue reading "Eleven Documentaries About Music's Grandest Artifact: The Record Store" >

Brendan Toller's I Need that Record! is a fabulous documentary that explores the changes in the music business over the last two decades, with a focus on independent record stores. Independent record stores are closing in mass numbers, while a new generation is discovering new music on the internet instead from a clerk. While it would be simple to say that file sharing is responsible for these

The feature-length film examines the reason for the closing of over 3,000 independent record stores in the past decade.

"I Need That Record" is a documentary feature examining why over 3000 independent record stores have closed across the U.S. in the past decade. Are they going to die off? Will they survive? Record stores serve as important community spaces that provide foundations for new musical and artistic scenes and movements, a place where unique under the radar bands have been continuously supported, a place where the underground can thrive, a place where independent thought is encouraged and challenged, a place where people of different ages, races, and taste can mix and mingle face to face.

Whenever they come back to visit, it is one of our first stops, and usually ends up being a great day. [...]
