With the death of the record shop comes with it the end of music as we know it, knowledge is exchanged, friendships are bourn, bands are formed, all through record shops, through human interaction. Music and culture will suffer if these establishments close, their role is as important to our cultural identity as our libriaries, museums, and our galleries. They are the cultural breeding grounds for all our city’s musical identities.
Jeanie’s project documents part of my life that could face exctinction, that of the independant record store. She is documenting a place in any music lovers heart. This is why I have invested in this project.
The First and last record I bought:
