The Third Man Records Rolling Record Store is parked outside Amoeba Hollywood on Cahuenga Blvd today until 3pm. They are on their way the desert for the first weekend of Coachella, but you can catch them here with all their goodies for a few hours. Follow the truck on Twitter to find out where they'll be next.

What started out as a chance gig singing backup for an old friend quickly blossomed into a bona fide career as a leading lady. On the cusp of  pop startdom, Jessie Ware delivers the highly anticipated Devotion album. Already a hit in the UK, the single "Wildest Moments" has given Ware major buzz and promises to help make Devotion a hit with her growing US fanbase. Taking musical cues from the likes of  SADE and  Annie Lennox, Ware creates polished electro/neo-soul influenced songs that translate well in her live performance. Catch Jesse Ware live at Amoeba in San Francisco, Thursday April 11th as she performs songs from her new album, Devotion (out 4/16). Performance starts at 6:30pm. Free, all-ages show.

Julieta Venegas celebrates her new album, Los Momentos (out April 9th), with a live performance and signing at Amoeba Hollywood! If you can't be here in person, you can watch the live webcast on Amoeba.com.

Get a free ticket to attend a private concert with Julieta Venegas on April 18 at The Mayan Theater in downtown LA with purchase of Los Momentos – courtesy of Super Estrella! While supplies last. Show is 21+over. One ticket per CD purchase (limit 2 per customer).

The first 300 purchasers of Los Momentos at Amoeba Hollywood (beginning April 9) will be guaranteed a place in line for the CD signing after the in-store performance.  Please note: Admission is first come, first admitted. Line will form on Ivar beginning at 4pm day of show. This event is all ages. 

Julieta Venegas has said that her newest album is inspired by the rampant drug violence in Mexico as well as motherhood. Much like previous releases, Venegas covers a lot of ground lyrically. Los Momentos is an 11 track album full of pop dance jams that will rival everyone from Rihanna to Tegan and Sara.  Venegas once again manages to seamlessly take melancholy themes and present them in a sonically positive light.

On Saturday, April 6th, we had comedian Dave Ross as our guest auctioneer for April's charity auction benefiting Silverlake Conservatory. He auctioned off a crazy array of items, from movie and music collectibles to concert tickets and gift certificates. And as always, Amoeba matched all individual bids.

Dave Ross is a stand-up comedian and storyteller in Los Angele. He is the creator of the wildly successful Holy F*ck comedy show and a MOTH GrandSlam winner. You might have seen him on Tosh.0 with his sketch group, WOMEN, or heard him telling stories on KCRW. But up on the podium at Amoeba's monthly charity aution is where he really shined. His extremely dry and droll sense of humor had the shoppers and onlookers chuckling under their collectives breaths and looking over at each other as if to say, "Wait, did he just say what I think he said?"

Silverlake Conservatory is a non-profit organization, created in 2001 to fill a void in the cultural landscape of the community. They offer the people in the area the opportunity to study music with exceptional teachers at a reasonable price, while also donating lessons and instruments to deserving children. They will also be the Hollywood store’s RECORD STORE DAY beneficiary for our prize wheel and the live silkscreening.

Dave Ross helped us raise a great amount of money, all going directly to music education for needy kids and families in Silver Lake and Echo Park, via Silverlake Conservatory!
