Amoeba's my home away from home... Well actually it's not really that far away from home since I live a block away... But based on the amount of stuff I buy and sell at wonderful Amoeba, that whole home/store line is a bit blurred anyway! I'd say my most exciting Amoeba memory was the day I finally became foursquare mayor of the Hollywood Amoeba. When I signed up for foursquare, one of my main goals was to be Amoeba mayor. And I finally did it, about 108 check-ins later. Towards the end I was popping in every day. When I finally did it, all of my friends were so proud. They re-tweeted the news all over the Twitter galaxy. I concluded the monumental day by buying one of the 6000+ mini lps that Amoeba purchased recently. Where else outside of Japan can you get you real Japanese Disk Union Mini LPs sets!?
From the intimate shows to trading tips with staff to seeing the Ladies and Gentleman We're Floating In Space 12 mini disc collector's edition in person, Amoeba satisfies time and time again. Honestly, there is no better place in Los Angeles... and of course no better record store in the world! Happy anniversary!

When I first moved to LA, I was in awe of the selection at Amoeba and I never have taken for granted to ease of finding even the most obscure items at Amoeba. I've emptied my bank account on more than one occasion at Amoeba. But for me, the best thing is opportunity to see some amazing bands at the in store performances. My favorite in-store was Concrete Blonde. There's nothing quite like standing shoulder to shoulder in the aisles, peering over CD bins and getting bowled over by Johnette Napolitano's formidable vocals. I was instantly transported from retail land to paradise.

Although I live in San Francisco, when I found out that Ace Frehley was going to be at Amoeba Hollywood for Record Store Day in 2009, I jumped in the car and headed south. After worshiping Space Ace for more than three decades, this was my first time meeting him.
So, from the six-year-old me to the twenty-year-old you. I say "thank you."

So I'm sorta new to shopping Amoeba, but I decided to pursue the "GREY GARDENS" DVD after viewing a Netflix mailed disc....I had to own these DVD's so I could slowly digest the antics of big and little Edie....but I wanted it at a bargain! THAT WAS MY RULE! Bargain Bouviers!
So I'd keep checking online auctions and watching swap meets etc. and finally one day flippin' through the bins upstairs in Hollywood...there they were...Big and Little Edie in their revolutionary outfits of torn and tattered fashions from yesteryear....ready to come to my place forever! I was pretty psyched...(no pun intended)....but only to find the completer disc a couple days later was the icing on the cake.....and all the way home I sang..."Tea for two and two for tea"....AWESOME!

my first time was when my parents flew me down for a tour of UCF, but I spent the day at your shop instead.
when i'm looking through my records at home now in washington state, I can easily place the time in my life that I bought such and such record at amoeba, and i laugh about the hours spent in the 7" boxes, with glaring girlfriends or buddies standing by.
record shopping can be a quick browse at most places, but amoeba's an event.
a couple valentines ago, i spent far more on LPs than dinner for my girl (oh, she noticed), which explains a lot about how much time i have with my records now...

Ive been going to amoeba since i was about an early tween i remember when i was about 14 the dresden dolls wore performing at amoeba's S.F. location and i flipped out because they are one of my favorite artists, so i went and ended up having the greatest time ever i was by myself, but i didn't care it was worth going alone and putting aside the bs i was dealing with at the time and i felt like i fit in, the meet and greet really topped it off with Brian and Amanda taking the most adorable pictures at one point i stared to long at amanda signing my poster i could've sworn i wet my pants no joke, but it was all good and that poster still hangs in my quarters and i am almost twenty now.
