polygamy of musique

When we first got into this hobby of collecting and collaborating in music, this was our primary source for vinyls. Even if we aren't shopping, Amoeba is one of our favorite spots to hang in Hollywood. Amoeba Music is well known for their in-store shows and events; talk about party in the warehouse! Over our years of attending this location, we've made some friends along the way. I especially love the staff there, they have some resident DJ's and musicians working, everybody swarming that place. It's an awesome spot to be.

They have so many selections of music and all kinds of ways to listen to it! They carry TONS of Vinyls, Cassettes, Compact Discs, and so much more. They also have a wide variety of movies if you're interested! Including Video tapes, Laser discs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-Rays, you name it. I think what I enjoy most about Amoeba is that they're more than willing to take back your unwanted merchandise. So if you aren't planning on shopping and you'd rather sell old stuff, Amoeba will gladly help you out with that too. Get out and have Fun!!

Amoeba Music Hollywood is located at:
6400 West Sunset Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90028

Listening to our records and mp3 players at home is all good and fun, but seeing our favorite artists play live is an entirely different experience. Whenever we find out that our favorite bands or DJ's are playing in our area, we do whatever it takes to get ourselves over there. Even if we can't get in, it's still nice to know that they were near us.

It's very engaging because we interact with everything. The energy of the crowd and the band can be very enlightening, even overwhelming for some people. In our past experiences of attending concerts and performances, the audience is an aggressive force that has the power to sway and push waves of people, literally. Sometimes we choose to move with it, sometimes we don't move at all. What I like most about attending concerts is meeting new and interesting people. We become survivors of the music stage.
