The largest independent record store in the country -- a claim supported by Rolling Stone -- is struggling to make it through the pandemic and has turned to its legion of fans and loyal customers for help.Founders Dave Prinz and Marc Weinstein launched a fundraiser with a target of nearly half a million dollars -- money they say they need to pay their bills while also trying to take care of their staff.
"Prinz and Weinstein opened up the first Amoeba Music record store in Berkeley, California, 30 years ago. They expanded to San Francisco in 1997 and then Hollywood in 2001. Their stores have hosted big names such as Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Brian Wilson, and even Sir Paul McCartney. Many now big-name artists such as the White Stripes and the Black Keys caught big breaks playing at their stores as well.
choptopmoseley The Hollywood store was my go to growing up and until I had my kid and lost all time it’s like empire records let’s throw a kegg- oh wait let’s donate and drunk zoom - thanks virus
I totally would but the owner is selling the property and moving to a smaller place. So what’s the point?
Guess who will be the next president of the United States?😀
I am in no way implying that I want them to fail. But remind me why exactly a record store deserves to be rescued in this day and age? Are we, as a society, supposed to start buying records again and pretend like we don't have access to every song ever written right on our phones
Where are the Biden Larry King tweets? Not worthy to report and presidential candidate news?
