THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF...

Tapes have been made. CDs of waiting music have been burned. Food platters bought.

In the words of John Paul Jones a la Song Remains the Same "This is TOMORROW, TOMORROW, TOMORROW!"

"I Need That Record! The Death (or Possible Survival) of The Independent Record Store."
SATURDAY MAY 3RD!
430PM!
HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE MAIN LECTURE HALL!

The film is sure to rock your socks off...

Shyeah. There might be more to come...

I must tell everyone the film is still in post production! Archival footage and music still need to be cleared. I've also done very few test screenings yet- so if you're in the NYC, MA, CT- New England area and would like to help set up a test screening in the next few months please get in touch.

Also the film currently has no distributor!

It'll all happen down the line. Cracking into a fortune cookie the other night I received this message- "A journey must begin with a single step."

Here we go!

TRRRAILERRRRRRRR!!!

Yikes, it's been a while since I've posted anything. What can I say? I've been slaving away the past three months and it looks like we'll have a film in a matter of days/weeks now!

Interviews have sorta (you never know) come to a close with a great finish featuring Patterson Hood of Drive By Truckers and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth! Hell yes.

The first rough cut screening will be Saturday May 3rd, 4:30PM- Hampshire College, Franklin Patterson Hall, Main Lecture Hall!

See ya there!

Brendan

Holy Editang...

Hey all, it's been near a month since I've posted anything on here. I knew this was going to happen! I've been locked in my room- editing like crazy, going through 55+ hours of footage, writing scripts, makin' phone calls, traveling all over the place. Seriously if anyone in the Amherst area is looking for a secretary job that pays in "thanks yous" and indebtedness, do inquire.

As much as this past month has been busy its also been ridiculously exciting. This past weekend I interviewed Patti Smith guitarist and Nuggets curator Lenny Kaye!



He gave a great interview and told the story of how he and Patti met in a record store.

The next day we went down a few blocks in NYC to interview Danny Fields.



Danny worked for Atlantic, DJ-ed at WFMU, worked at Elektra signing the Stooges, MC5, and Nico, managed the Ramones, Steve Forbert, and the Modern Lovers. He also worked for Sire. I'm forgetting a lot- he's a legend. Danny had funny stories and provided a great narrative about the music industry and bands like the Stooges, Ramones, Nico, and Velvet Underground.

ALSO! I will soon be apart of a podcast about closing independent record stores on Issue Oriented. I'll keep ya posted when its posted!

Hopefully there will be some new footage up in the next coming weeks...

More later,

Brendan
