The film looks into the current crisis of independent record shops in the USA and analyses their former role as seed crystals for idiosyncratic musical communities. In interviews with Thurston Moore to Ian Mackaye to punk author Legs McNeil, the question of the causes and responsibilities inside and outside of sub culture's micro-economies is addressed and e-commerce, the digital revolution, the homogenising of radio, big discounters and additional factors in this transformation are discussed.
