Vinyl Nation

This movie has some great information and they really do provide evidence for their thesis that vinyl is back and accessible to a mainstream and large number of individuals. However, it is just a series of people talking- none of them very interesting, filled with generic PBS style music. Including music by various artists that make us love our vinyl, and interviews with artists we know and other interesting people would have gone a long way. This was more a TV special than a film- it really didn't utilize the medium of a movie.

My favorite part about vinyl - that soft crackle sound when your needle first touches the record; Vinyl Nation reminds me how much I love that sound! Silly, I know. But there are a lot more relatable moments in this documentary; seeing the people and hearing their stories, you will relate. My first record, my favorite, keeping the player free of dust, visiting Tower Records and thumbing through the stacks looking for that next great album. You will remember, just like I did. A great, 90-minute show. Deserves your attention.

A warm, delightful film full of passionate people (my favorite kind). I definitely had preconceptions of what a record store person was before watching this film, but because of the people they showcased I now feel more comfortable in record stores.

Also, at a time when we can't be together talking about the things we love as much as we'd like, this movie is the next best thing.

I'd watch an entire other documentary just featuring Ashley Ford and her husband. I hope that's the sequel!

I didn't think I cared about vinyl records--or any audiorecordings, for that matter. But this documentary opened my eyes to a whole subculture of entertainment connoisseurship. This is beautifully filmed movie is multimedia journalism at its best. Unexpected, spontaneous situations happen throughout the film, and the one at the end made me want to hug everyone.

Chris and Kevin break the stereotypes of record collecting. By showcasing women and POC they show that anybody can be apart of this amazing culture.
