We snagged Krist Novoselic at the cash registers yesterday for an episode of WIMB and here's what he had to say about his trip to Amoeba Hollywood. Thanks, Krist!
I am totally bummed to hear via The Boston Phoenix about the closing of one of my favorite record stores, Twisted Village in Boston, MA. Shop Indie. Seriously. We mean it!!
On Tuesday, July 27, Amoeba will present a book signing, talk and 3-D presentation with Brian May and Elena Vidal for their book, A Village Lost and Found from 7-9pm at the Downtown Independent in Los Angeles! You no doubt know of Brian May for his tenure as lead guitarist in a little band called Queen. He is less known for his work as an astrophysicist (!) -- and his new book, along with co-author Vidal, a photographic historian, brings together a collection of stereoscopic photos called "Scenes in Our Village" by T.R. Williams.
Read much more about this signing event and also the contents of A Village Lost and Found right here!
