Anyone follow this series on You Tube, where all the hip musicians talk about what records they're buying at Amoeba Records in California?
Pretty cool series, though I'd rather stick a scissor in my ears for an hour than listen to J Mascis speak for 3 minutes.
I went to that record store once in the 80's and it was totally great. I dropped like $150 there, which was a lot for my budget at the time.
