Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton

If you’re a hip-hop fan, then you probably know that a film about the invaluable contribution of Stones Throw to contemporary pop culture is nothing short of fascinating, especially if it comes hand-in-hand with a goldmine of interviews, archival material, previously unreleased music and industry anecdotes that don’t require a formal introduction.

If you’re not a hip-hop fan, then “Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton” is still a welcome surprise, since Jeff Broadway’s labour of love isn’t just a music documentary, it’s the chronicle of a friendship, an indie recording collective and some of the most idiosyncratic music geniuses in the planet, brought together by a deafening soundtrack.

If all of the above doesn’t sound particularly appealing, then the presence of A-list names like Kanye West, Common, Flying Lotus and Mike D from the Beastie Boys in a rare collection of intimate interviews will probably convince you of the entertainment value of this little gem. L.K.
