I'm thinking of going to Amoeba in LA for Record Store Day. Any tips? Was I suppose to preorder shit?
Amoeba is overpriced as shit. LA sucks a fat dick also

>amoeba
don't
>>72313590
>pre-order RSD
Lmao no unless that means camp out overnight
>>72313590
amoeba sounds like a nightmare on record store day.

this
go to a smaller record store you dweeb.
>>72314802
Wtf no Amoeba would have the most shit.
>>72314847
have fun going to the world's most popular music store on the most popular music store going day of the year
Someone import all of the jungle out of the UK to my record store wtf
>>72314779
Imagine the line outside the place. I bet a few crazy people are already camping out in front of the building.

Yeah if you're going for rsd duh. If you're just randomly going in there to pick up Damn then yeah you're right.
are cd's on discount on record day? or just vinyls?
>>72314956
It's up to the store and technically unrelated but usually. However if you're just going for discount sales then stay away.
>>72314991
alright
>>72313590
what releases are you looking to get
The only thing on my radar is AnCo but it's only 1,200 copies so I'll be surprised.
>>72315131
Which is strange considering they've released RSD material too (Prospect Hummer and Transverse Temporal Gyrus) and I guess 5000 copies were made each, so it's still available
>>72313590
I know they get all the good stuff, but it seems like going amoeba is antithetical to the spirit of record store day.
>>72315259
Well maybe that's actually why. Maybe the 5,000 didn't sell so well.
>>72315312
They could've at least crank up to maybe 2500, 1200 is a small quantity for a hyped up band like them
>>72315292
RSD is about RSD releases. End of story. Otherwise most cities have "local business day" if youre interested in a specific day of observation. However if you can get the inside track on a small stire getting what you want them youre absolutely right. Although its also nice to have a lot of backup album choices.
>>72315357
Jeez maybe I should go down there right now. Will this be the Government Plates of 2017?
>>72315812
No but I reported you to the FBI
>>72315832
That's really more of a local law enforcement matter.

So was that thread on /r9k/ where the guy posted a peace sign and said he was gunna go kill a hand full of people, then that guy got shot at mcdonalds after shoting someone in the head, and going across America with a cellphone in hand but wasn't tracked
step up ur game 4 real come on
OP is retarded but come on guys Amoeba is fucking dope
Did none of you check their experimental/classical section you fucking plebs
>>72315955
everyone here is a pleb
if you live in the west coast you are automatically a pleb
>>72315937
Completely unrelated. The post you replied to was about perceived self-defense in a literal mob environment. Absolutely zero implication of an attack. This thread is about RSD get over it.
Amoeba > Streetlight > Rasputin > Tower Records
Do they even have these places outside of California or is it all mom and pop shops? Also aren't Tower Records gone now lol idk
Also, the Amoeba in Hollywood/L.A. is the tits
Austin has a big one. It's pictured in a St Vincent thread up right now.
