Amoeba, You-moeba

The current webisode at Amoeba Music reminds me of my first experience with the greatest independent record stores in world. Unlike many music retailers here in the States, Amoeba Music remains in business in the face of dropping album sales and increased digital music purchase. It is an open vibrant epicenter for both the music dork and casual listener alike. I remember this one day, my mom just came back from a trip to San Francisco and in usual fashion, she got me a shirt 2 sizes too large. It was sky blue and had a bright red and yellow “Amoeba” splashed across the front. Boy was it ugly.
