A Couple Movies About Record Stores

Time is flying by. Soon after opening shop in April 2007 a local independent (then student) film-maker, Brendan Toller, came by the shop and did some filming (among many many other shops and private collector locations) for a movie that we did the CT Premiere screening for on July 13, 2008. This coming Record Store Day sees a limited release of this movie, I NEED THAT RECORD! We will have some copies, for sure. It will have a full wider release in July. Why wait? Check this trailer:

I Need That Record! Trailer from Brendan Toller on Vimeo.

There is also a new record-angle doc I’m excited to check out (whenever that may be done and available for viewing). It seems to feature some prominent collectors and goes beyond just the listening audience to talk about the aesthetics of what makes records great (Blue Note album covers!). It also reminded me that I need to go down to Pittsburgh soon (summer time) to do some serious record digging.
