I Need That Record: Death or Possible Survival

Guerilla filmmaker Brendan Toller unleashes I Need That Record! The Death (Or Possible Survival) of the Independent Record Store, "an elegy for a vanishing subculture... a lively, bittersweet film that examines - with caustic humor, brutal candor, and, ultimately, great affection - why roughly 3,000 indie record stores have closed across the nation over the past decade," (Jonathan Perry, Boston Globe). a tour-de-force tale of greed, media consolidation, homogenized radio, big box stores, downloading, and technological shifts in the music industry told through candid interviews, crestfallen record store owners, startling statistics, and eye-popping animation. Fat cats or our favorite record stores? You decide. Featuring- Ian MacKaye, Noam Chomsky, Mike Watt, Thurston Moore, Lenny Kaye, Chris Frantz), Glen Branca, Patterson Hood, Pat Carney, Legs McNeil, Bob Gruen, BP Helium and many indie record stores across the U.S.
