I love that store!!!! I'm lucky enough 2 live 10 minutes 4rm one. Which is a good thing and a bad thing. I have a habit of buying cds when I really shouldn't like, when I'm broke, lol.

Ah Rasputin's! It never grabbed me like Amoeba. Most of the time I didn't find what I was looking for. Compared that to Amoeba, where it just seems endless when you are there. Make sure to have a list ready, and be prepared to buy way more than that.

Every time I go home to L.A. the Sunset Amoeba is like going to the gas station. It's just something I do in L.A. It's natural.
