Beirut just can't seem to get enough live gigs. After wrapping up their fall U.S. tour in Los Angeles last week, appearing on KEXP in Chicago, and performing a series of DVD-worthy live videos for Blogotheque, Zach Condon and crew made one more stop at L.A.'s Amoeba Music for a not-so-secret in-store show.
Performing a number of tunes from the excellent Flying Club Cup, Beirut wowed the crowd here ...

Final Girl —
For just a moment, imagine you are me. Try not to focus on all the jet-setting and glamour; rather, I'd like for you to imagine me in one particular situation. There you are (there I am? bah!) at the record & movie store, just a-browsin' on a Saturday. You spot a little something called Dogs (1976), a movie that falls squarely into your beloved "Animals Run Amok" category. You might pick up the DVD, thinking something like "Hmm. Oh my, yes". Then, upon closer inspection, you see two little words emblazoned on the DVD artwork- two great tastes that taste ...
Gigs & Bytes:Downloading the Amoeba Music Way
Pollstar —
Gigs & Bytes: Downloading the Amoeba Music Way Friday, Jan 4, 2008 1:01PM In an age where traditional brick-and-mortar record stores share space on the endangered species list with 8-track tapes and VCRs, one company seems to get only bigger and better while others downsize or fade away into retail history. Known throughout the world as the go-to store for rare vinyl, obscure CDs and hard-to-find merch, Amoeba Music started with one store in Berkeley, Calif., in 1990 and quickly grew to ... well, three stores, with locations in San Francisco and Los Angeles in addition to ...
We Paid $25,000 For Britney Spears?
mediabistro.com: FishBowlLA —
... Aguirre tells me. "At that point we were out-resourced," Aguirre explains, and the police didn't want that to happen again. She may have a point: After Britney's first hospital haul on Jan. 3, another city government source tells me, police and city hall types were abuzz that the paparazzi had endangered the operation. Maybe. But considering, we've never even coughed up the $20 for one of her albums, we still feel like we want our money back. Or at least some store credit at Amoeba .

VINYL IS HEAVY —
... show at Amoeba Records here in Berkeley (keep it real!) and my friend Willie and I both said, "Man am I happy to be out of this scene." Not that the dance scene is any "better" or "cooler" (well, I think it is) but the thing I dig about it is how energetic it is, how much movement is involved, how you have to surrender yourself to your impulses: even when I'm not at a party, or a bar (that is, drunk), it's hard to quell the itch in my legs when I hear something like that ...

Record Store Day = The Future of Turntablism?
The Fertile Crescent —
... was a simultaneous celebration of independent record store culture that took place in stores across the nation and the UK. Here in Los Angeles that meant the place to be yesterday was Amoeba Records , where promotions, giveaways and celebrity DJ sets were on top for their appreciative customers. So, naturally me and my brother, dedicated vinyl junkies that we are, decided to venture over to Hollywood to check out the festivities. While we both spent over four hours searching for records (one of my favorite pastimes), we were also treated to DJ performances from the likes of ...

Fans Say: "Waterloo is the big kahuna. They get a full
complement of mainstream stuff, a full compliment of indie stuff. They
are just pros; they know what they're doing. The only reason they don't
own the city is because of downloading and video games. If those two
things didn't exist, the owner would probably be mayor of Austin." --

We Want It Now! For International Releases, US Is Behind the Music Curtain
Spinner —
Filed under: Around the World A big world-music fan had a frustrating shopping experience recently in Los Angeles. "I was at Amoeba Records looking for the new Baaba Maal album that I saw in London two months ago, and it's not there," he says. It's not Amoeba's fault. The store has perhaps the largest, most varied selection of international CDs in the region, if not the nation. The Senegalese star's album just hasn't been released in the U.S. yet. On the other side of the coin, a president of a record ...
