if i owned this record store it would be insufferable for everyone because the only albums i would ever allow in stock would be by Mitski

Review by siobhan ★★★

oh to work at an indie record store in the 90s and sing/dance to music all day and for you & your co-workers to put aside your differences to save your store from being bought out by The Man™

you know that feeling when you’re watching a movie and you instantly fall in love with every elements that compose it? that’s exactly how i feel about empire records, i say that often but i GENUINELY can’t put into words how much i love this film, not only is the soundtrack the best thing i’ve heard in my 15 years of my existence, but the subjects it treated, the atmosphere, this movie was literally gifted by the angels above and gave us, in my opinion, one of the greatest films of all time
god i wish i worked in a record store and wore mini plaid skirts with cropped fuzzy tops everyday
