Updated 07/29/2009

As much as I love Apple, iTunes, and Justin Long, it makes me a little sad that music stores are slowly disappearing. There was nothing I used to like more than spending a lazy Saturday afternoon browsing the "used" section of my local music store. And...

Much like an ex-boyfriend, Amoeba and I have a love-hate relationship. I try to stay away, but I always come crawling back…

Like just about everyone who lives in LA, I have strong opinions on music. However, unlike most Angelenos that I've encountered I try not to be a dick about it. Seriously, I figure sooner or later that all of the scantily clad women featured prominen...

An independently owned megastore, Amoeba Music caused a huge stir when it first arrived in LA. Lots of my friends used to making a yearly pilgrimage to Berkeley’s location now visit the Los Angeles store three or four times a week. Boasting a huge selection, most everything is reasonably priced as much of the discs and records are used. The many live music shows that they offer are also a key draw.

A woman named Nadya Suleman just gave birth to eight babies in Bellflower, California. It has recently come to light that the woman, in fact, already had six children. This brings the number of her spawn up to a whopping FOURTEEN. Now, I don't know ...

My mom always says you're never going to meet someone at a bar, and if you don't know my mother you should probably know now that she is always right about everything. It's super creepy, but it's true. So, here are bunch of alcohol-free places where yo...

Amoeba is a musical black hole (once you dive into their ginormous music selection odds are you’ll never make it out again), but it’s also an excellent place for musicphiles to get together. Maybe you’ll pick up a hot DJ in the vinyl section or maybe you’ll run into someone who shares your affinity for 1960s bossa nova. The possibilities are endless…

There are a no shortage of things to do in Los Angeles. There's always a movie to see or a new bar get kicked out of or a screenplay to finish. But all of those require a lot of effort and/or transportation. So what to do when you don't want to spen...

There are actually not that many bands that I would pay to see because I get bored easily and get tired of standing and paying too much for weak drinks. That being said, there are a lot of cool places in L.A. to do those things. So have at it.

iTunes? Are you kidding? I get all my music at this independent superstore in the heart of Hollywood.
On the weekends it is jam packed with jam seekers. The staff is knowledgeable without making you feel like a loser (usually) and sometimes they’ll have killer live (and free!) shows in the back featuring anyone from Aqualung to Paul McCartney. Rad.

Every year, the same week as July 4th (Independence Day, if you didn't know), the American Independent Business Alliance hosts Independent's Week. The idea is that as you celebrate everything that is great about our country with alcohol and explosions...

The largest independent record store in Southern California – and it is large – right in the heart of Hollywood.
I went to U.C. Berkeley, and I can’t tell you how many hours I spent at Amoeba when I probably should have been studying. Anywho, you can only imagine my excitement when Amoeba opened up an LA outpost a few years back. The parking is atrocious, but the ridiculously large selection (I can spend hours browsing the used music section here) will make you forgot about parking. It will also make you forget where you parked your car.
