ticketsSynopsis
This is a zombie movie –featuring zombie objects and zombie businesses, actually. To put it in simple words instead of post-apocalyptic slang: this is a film about records and record stores, those artifacts and places that die hard even if there are less and less of them. Combining nostalgia with analysis, Last Shop Standing looks back to try and explain why shops that sell music were more than just a business: they were also a social nod, a trading spot, a small center of information, and a musical and sentimental school. Richard Hawley, Johnny Marr, Norman Cook, and Billy Bragg, they’re all interviewed in this documentary that adapts Graham Jones’ book Last Shop Standing: Whatever Happened to Record Shops, and they remember how it felt to enter a record store, specially the independent ones. It was a gratifying experience that made them feel part of a counter-industry, a counter-culture. They were members of a lodge: the record buyers, an endangered species who will not resign themselves to the disappearance of their favorite medium. JP
