I Need That Record!

May 03, 2008
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," (Johnathan 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 (Patti Smith), CHRIS FRANTZ (Talking Heads), GLENN BRANCA, PATTERSON HOOD (Drive By Truckers), PAT CARNEY (Black Keys) , LEGS MCNEIL, BOB GRUEN, BP HELIUM, and many indie record stores across the U.S.

Finster

Aug 01, 2022
Howard Finster, the grandfather of the Southern Folk Art movement was a pioneer that showed the world that Art can thrive outside of museums and galleries in ordinary places and in everyday objects. He took what others might deem trash or obsolete and turned it into something contemplative. He opened Paradise Garden for the world to enjoy, a true testament that Art comes to life, when people are able to interact with it. Howard Finster showed the world that objects surrounding us can take on a new life, in a sometimes-magical way, and communicate messages that can lead to transformation.

L'acteur d'improvisation et comique Stephen Colbert laisse derrière lui son personnage "The Colbert Report" alors qu'il fait son retour tant attendu à la télévision. En tant qu'hôte de la franchise The Late Show redux - enregistrée au théâtre historique Ed Sullivan à New York - Colbert parle pour la première fois aux acteurs, aux athlètes, aux politiciens, aux bandes dessinées, aux artistes et aux musiciens. Les fans fidèles, cependant, seront également traités avec cohérence car Colbert reste soutenu par de nombreux membres de son équipe d'écriture et numérique de son ancienne entreprise. Jon Batiste, formé à Julliard, est le chef d'orchestre.
