Aro Recommended I Need That Record!

 

aka: The Death (or Possible Survival) of the Independent Record Store
USA 2010, 77 minutes
Dir. Brendan  Toller
Rating: [Exempt]
Genres: Documentary, Music

Topics: Business & Economics.

 

Synopsis: A documentary following two of roughly 3,000 indie record stores that have closed across the US over the past decade due to media consolidation, homogenized radio, big box stores, downloading, and technological shifts in the music industry.

Aroview: A bittersweet symphony for vinyl-loving Gen-Xers and their rockin' forefathers, this would have further sated nostalgic pangs to hark back further to glimpse indie record stores of the LP's 'golden age', but instead limits its scope to those of the post-modern age most affected by the technological revolution. At once enthused and bemused, it's a rock solid fans-eye-view about vinyl, rock music, retail and other endangered species.
