Vinyl Nation

A warm, delightful film full of passionate people (my favorite kind). I've definitely had preconceptions about the kind of person who is a record store person, and this movie helped break down those stereotypes for me and made me feel more comfortable in record stores.

Also, in a time when we can't be together talking about things that we love in person as much as we like, this felt like the next best thing.

I hope they do a sequel just featuring Ashley Ford and her husband.

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.

This does a brief dive into the trend of vinyl, hearing from vinyl fans and people who work behind the scenes of the production of the vinyl records. I enjoyed seeing the behind the scenes of making of the records, and what some record production businesses go through to ensure the quality is what it should be. Seeing someone going through (very throughly) listening to a vinyl for any issues, and looking for any defects to ensure the best quality is there.

What bummed me out: for a documentary that insists record collectors are more than the stereotypical white male collector .. they sure do spend a lot of time with white male collectors.
