Amoeba Music

Have gotten great Jazz, lots of Dead and I discovered a whole world of classical music via the great staff. My home away from home!

I've been a dedicated Amoeba patron since the store opened in Hollywood. One day I walked in to look around and just happened to bump into Zach De La Rocha. I went up to Zach and told him I was a big fan and it was great to meet him. What other record store does something like this happen? Nowhere! One of my favorite things is finding a great new cd and listening to it on the way home from Amoeba while cruising on Mullholland Drive. The great music I've found there has got me through some tough times, and being able to sell my unwanted used cd's to Amoeba has also helped get me through some tough times. Amoeba Rocks!

Amoeba was my first love and everything- from a moping teenager in the streets of SF in the Height District- I got lost there for hours on in- to the point where my folks were ready to send search and rescue- Amoeba opened up my sphere to ALL music all things great that perpetuate to make my veins pump with joy- the numerous times I have been literally schooled by the impromptu visit by everyone from DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Gossip, Kid Koala, Unkle, you name it- Amoeba breaks my brain- not only creatively- but what an outlet for my brain to spin out of control and motivate me in ways I did not know possible- Thank you Amoeba for building my continuum of knowledge! :)

I have always found the greatest LP's / cassettes / Cd's when ever I search the racks in SF , when ever someone says "What would you like for Father's Day/Your birthday/christmas" , I ask for an AMOEBA gift certificate, and still talk about the Live Elvis Costello show where I ran into old pals and had a great time.

I love amoeba so much. The first time I set foot there was when I was thirteen. I remember I needed to get the rites of spring album, which at the time was hard to find. Anyway, I was thrilled when I saw it Stare right at me saying "buy me" which of course I did. I like that Amoeba has a lot of undiscovered bands nobodys even heard of. I recently purchased the only two "LOVVERS" CDS left, and I was also there to see "the drums" play. The staff is great, and a friend of my step dads works there. He taught me how to play guitar. Everytime I'm in the hollywood area I always stop by to Buy movies, cds. And even posters.

I can say in full honesty that Amoeba has been a consistent cure for depression. Almost a year ago, my mom fell and broke her fibula. After driving her to the Kaiser Sunset emergency room at 3 am, and subsequently missing two tests I had that day, I was exhausted and aggravated. Luckily, my mom had a book with her she wanted to finish, and suggested that I go to Amoeba while she read in the car. So thank you Amoeba; nothing is as uplifting and invigorating as getting my fingers dusty on your rows and rows of $1 vinyl.

JUST BEING IN YOUR AMOEBA MUSIC SHOP ON SUNSET AND IVAR IS VERY MAGICAL. IT'S SO EASY TO FIND EVERYTHING I WANT AND EVERYONE THAT WORKS THERE ARE SO HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY NOT JUST TO ME BUT EVERYONE. KEEP UP ALL YOUR GREAT WORK AND MUSIC OF COURSE. THE BERKELEY AND SAN FRANCISCO STORES ISN'T BAD EITHER LOVE ALL YOUR STORES IN SO. AND NO. CALIFORNIA

I love Amoeba's great free concerts. Robert Randolph was absolutely awesome this year!

What can I say, Amoeba Hollywood is one of the greatest places on earth :) I often go during the week after going to yoga (just behind Amoeba). I must say that I sometimes find Amoeba more uplifting than going to yoga itself! I love the staff. I love the selection. I love Amoeba, plain and simple. Please keep doing what you're doing.

I'm a music lover whose lived in LA for the last 6-years and on one of my earliest visits to the Hollywood Amoeba, I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Beck at the checkout. I gotta say, the selection of music and video is the most incredible I've ever experienced, but adding in the possibility of seeing an amazing artist such as Beck, is just icing on the chocolate 7-layer cake that is Amoeba. It's clear that Amoeba is not only the top destination for music lovers, but also for the creators of the music we love!
