Guerilla filmmaker Brendan Toller unleashes “I Need That Record, a documentary feature examining why over 3000 independent record stores have closed across the U.S. in the past decade. Greedy record labels, media consolidation, homogenized radio, big box stores, E-commerce, shoddy “stars” pushed by big money, and the digital revolution all pose threats on the very well being of our favorite record stores and the music industry at large. Will these stores die? Will they survive?

Featuring: Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Ian MacKaye of Dischord Records/Fugazi/Minor Threat, activist/author Noam Chomsky, Mike Watt of the Minutemen, Chris Frantz of Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club, guitar composer Glenn Branca, BP Helium from Of Montreal, and many indie record stores across the U.S.
