I Need That Record
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.
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.

Wild Nothing
Gemini
Wild Nothing is the solo project of Virginia born Jack Tatum.
Despite his youth (Tatum is in his early twenties) his music is the product of romantic nostalgia and an obsession with the sounds of the past.
Reminiscent of The Cure, Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, the songs on ‘Gemini’ sound familiar but slightly warped, somehow revivalist and modern at the same time.

Devo
Something For Everybody
Something for Everybody features the band’s classic line-up of Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Gerald and Bob Casale joined by drummer Josh Freese.
Though the songs recorded for Something for Everybody are built on Devo’s signature mechanized swing, the recording and resentation of the album saw the band experimenting with an entirely new approach.
A series of studies were conducted through their website to help the band with its creative decisions, from color selection to song mixes.

Sleigh Bells
Treats
Debut album from the Brooklyn Noise-Rock duo consisting of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller.
This highly anticipated album is a speaker-imploding, mind-melting mix of noize and melody with the accent on the former.
Some say that this is the future of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Some say that this is the end of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Either way, it’s Rock ‘n’ Roll!
