Back in 2011, just days before I officially launched this site, I wrote a news item for my old gig about a documentary film called ALL THINGS MUST PASS. A documentary about the rise and fall of TOWER RECORDS, the film by Colin Hanks, ALL THINGS MUST PASS was one of the first Kickstarter projects that I’d ever written about, and it achieved its goal practically overnight. And then we all waited… for over four years. Now, Gravitas Ventures will release ALL THINGS MUST PASS in limited theatrical release on October 16th (there’s some festival appearances in September), and my friends at Fandango have the trailer (and you can get tickets, too). This is an important film for all music lovers to see, especially since there’s already a generation coming of age that arrived after the music industry collapse…
I loved TOWER RECORDS, and many stores like it. Some of you may know that I once did time with a TOWER competitor – The Musicland Group, in their Sam Goody division. While accessibility via the internet is fine, nothing will ever replace those days of having multiple, physical music meccas to choose from and visit… places staffed by people that truly knew and loved music.
