Footage of the legendary Danbury, CT punk record store- Trash American Style- in its last days...PART ONE...
From "I Need That Record: The Death (or Possible Survival) of the Independent Record Store." Coming in 2008...
@nonovurbizniz,clueless you,when you stopped buying records at Trash what did you do?You became a mercenary scumbag groveling for money and security,some people find that abhorrent."why didn't they save up and buy the building?" Probably any funds were put right back in store stock,not exactly a gold mine,the record biz.

Trash was the best store in Fairfield County, no less the whole state of Connecticut. We had out own scene, and had many many great bands. How awesome was it to be able to buy a bands demo tape in the local section of the tapes? I can't judge mall music vs punk music, thats too much a personal taste - but Trash was so much more than just a place to get smelly ol records. The so much more part is what was/is lost when places like it go out of business and/or are forced out of their locations.

I really dug that place, but in fairness it was probably a fire hazard, and no doubt made EVERY other store surrounding them less appealing to the masses.
They should have done what Utopia did. Save ALL your money and buy land/build your own building... NO landlord to dealwith or neighbors... That or just go online. Although the look/feel/smell of Trash will never be re-created...
I'm 34 and went there TONS when I was 12-20.
