    What could be better in today's world, a vinyl record store with people who love music, with an outdoor patio down the large walkway (the front of this joint that faces the street is closed and all the action is down the side walkway to the bottom store and event space. They serve beer and refreshing non alcoholic canned drinks with tables under a large canopy. This joint has live music and works to promote artists in a way that is so needed these days. Small but a great place to perform or meet people from the community and network in the music industry.

    New favorite find for local indie shows, cheap cold drinks at the bar, records and a really nice patio. Awesome vibe and friendly staff.

    A gem! Great "dive" bar for record lovers/aficionados. The drink selection is not divey at all and really affordable stuff. The events that are hosted here are special but never obnoxiously crowded. The bathroom is divey lol. But the bartenders are perfect, not too chatty nor rude/bitchy. This place is wonderful. They used to have outdoor stuff which was so fun but the neighbors aren't as cool I guess :(. Also, cool thing here too is you can come here for day drinking/reading/music listening - which is a nice break from LA.

    My husband and I saw Jenn Champion perform live at this small but charming dive bar. My husband is a huge fan of her music and was so happy to experience her music live in such an intimate venue, we stood a couple feet away in front of the stage and had a blast jamming out. The bar had such a nice nostalgic presence with several dining booths. We got to enjoy a drink, I had the Little Doll, and listened to some fun and loud 80s music before Jenn came on stage. We easily found free parking along the same street but showed up early so it might be difficult to find parking if you show up during a peak time.

    Saw an MC Chris concert here. It was an amazing experience. Very much a homey grungy vibe! Staff rocks! Great community!

    A super cute little venue in LA where I got to see my favorite band Valleyheart. I was able to stand front row. Water was provided in the back and there are booths to sit in as well.

In terms of their actual offerings, they have a lot of used vinyl, some of it is very rare. So, if you're looking for that really special something, you may very well be able to find it at this shop. They also have a lot of new vinyl. Some of it is of the older variety, and some of it is very new releases. So, whatever you're looking for, you should be able to find something here. In terms of their pricing, it's all very reasonable. Even the rare vintage vinyl they offer is priced very competitively in correlation with the modern market. This is the same with their new vinyl, their prices are very competitive. They also offer a few other items like some cassette tape and things like that. Thus, it is your one stop shop for when you want to grab that special piece of music. The staff here are all really nice. So if you need any help, they'll be happy to help you out. Overall, this is one of those dying breeds of shops, one that offers a grand selection of vinyl. It's a great place to visit, whether you're looking for that special record, or you're just looking to look. Overall, it's a great shopping experience.

There is a nearby paid parking garage or street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a pretty spacious setup with lots of records to sort through. Some cool record finds I came across for my music taste were Pop Smoke, Big Sean, Tame Impala, Kehlani, and Thee Sacred Souls. The records here are fairly priced and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I ended up copping the 75th Anniversary Sailor Moon vinyl for wifey since it was a record she had been chasing and one we do not see in the wild often. Definitely come check them out if you are ever in the area!

    Shopping in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California…read more.. Somehow, I found free street parking on Hollywood Boulevard, almost right in front of Amoeba Music... It's an iconic place. I thought that I should look around inside... Wow... It has everything... jazz, top 40, soul, hip hop, ethnic music, CDs, vinyl, movies, used, new, merchandise, and more! I was truthfully overwhelmed. I will be back when I'm more focused and have more time! Note: Amoeba Music is also in San Francisco and Berkeley.

I've barely begun to dip my toe into deep appreciation of physical music mediums, and accompanied my wife here on her birthday search for a few specific vinyls and CDs. My search was narrow, hoping for a Odesza vinyl. I found two vinyls from the A Moment Apart album I was in search for with one being a used copy in a deep sea foam color while the other was a clear vinyl. Because I knew nothing about vinyls, I went to the front desk where Kelly took the time to show me how; 1) properly remove vinyls from their sleeve, 2) the direction to clean vinyls using a microfiber cloth, 3) check downs to go through when inspecting a used vinyl, and 4) in why's behind inspecting vinyls the way she recommended. In taking the time to show me how to check 3 separate clearance vinyls, I felt even more stoked about my Odesza used vinyl find as it was fun colored vinyl not yet in our collection and in beautiful condition. Kelly - thank you for not being a gatekeeper. You rock!

Wes and…read moreDmitry are true professionals--incredibly friendly, welcoming, and equipped with an extreme wealth of knowledge regarding hi-fi equipment, system synergy, and proper setup. They generously spent a significant amount of time with me, allowing me to audition various systems, including multiple versions of the DeVore speakers I was interested in. What truly stood out was the completely pressure-free environment. There was zero rush to buy or make any decisions on the spot; their primary goal was simply to help me find the right sound. I eventually purchased my beautiful DeVore O/96 speakers from them, and the entire process was a joy. I am already looking forward to working with them again as I plan to invest in a preamplifier and a power conditioning system in the future. Additionally, Common Wave is expanding into a beautiful new space that is going to be spectacular to visit once it's finished. Thank you, Wes and Dmitry, for all your outstanding help!

It's tucked away, but once you step inside, you're surrounded by some of the most incredible sound systems and turntables--it honestly feels like a hidden gem for audio lovers. The staff couldn't have been nicer. They checked out the turntable and let me know the needle was just dirty, then cleaned it for free. No upselling, just genuine help. They did recommend upgrading the turntable down the line, which I'm definitely considering after my trip. If you're even remotely into stereo gear, this spot is a must-visit. It's basically the Amoeba Records of high-end audio. 10/10.
