As always, we let you in on all the good stuff we know. Here are two really sweet deals for Cyber Monday, today only, November 26, 2012.
.
This is wholly UN-paid, and we receive nothing for doing it, but we're the Acoustic Americana Music Guide and we approved this message.
.
First,
SAVE BIG TODAY ON RECORDS, CDs, DVDs, MORE...
.
AMOEBA RECORDS is that sole-surviving Hollywood record store and place where it's easy to get lost perusing the new and unknown along with the re-released classics and our favorites, the very affordable used (or if you prefer, "pre-owned" records and CDs.
.
Now, we don't want to take anything away from the three wonderful record stores in Pasadena (the last town in Southern California that still HAS three record stores). And we DO encourage you, as always, to support your LOCAL record store, wherever you are.
.
So, with all that said, it IS Cyber Monday, when the annual weekend orgy of capitalism shifts to the internet. And before you amass ridiculous credit card debts to the big corporations buying name-brand garments made in third-world sweatshops where workers get two bucks a day, we encourage you to spend your Cyber Monday resources on music.
.
AMOEBA RECORDS is offering a 20% discount on everything in their online catalog, with no minimum required, AND free shipping. It's TODAY ONLY, for Cyber Monday.
.
Enter code CYBERMON20 at check-out.
.
Their site is www.amoeba.com

Second,
THE GRAMMY MUSEUM, L.A.'s own multi-genre answer to all those genre-specific Halls of Fame, is offering a nice deal.
.
You can buy TWO gift memberships, today only, for the price of one.
.
Members not only get in free to the galleries and special exhibitions whenever they want to go -- they also get first shot at tickets for concerts and events.
.
A caution: you cannot use today's deal to renew your own membership -- this is for GIFT memberships -- but you can surely make two music fans in your world veeery happy for the holidays, without fear that they might already have that CD, or might not like that band, and all those pratfalls of trying to buy something music-related for someone else.
.
Just enter code GIFT2012
.
on the membership tab at
.
www.grammymuseum.org
.
Be sure to choose "gift" as "type of membership."
.
Or, you can get the same deal, today only, by calling 213-765-6800, ex 4. (Yep, a Cyber Monday option that lets you talk to a real human being. How novel.)

All the music performances -- live in the venues, and the ones on TV, through tonight and early Tuesday morning, are in the most recent edition of the Acoustic Americana Music Guide, available just below or in the sidebar at left, depending on which edition you are reading.

I just bought three CDS on their site and got great discounts!!! I haven't been in the mortar/brick Amoeba in years, but it is not all that close to me. I did support my local record store when we still had one. (EVERYONE: SUPPORT YOUR RECORD STORE, or it will all be chain corporations!!!)
ReplyDeleteI love going to the Grammy museum for their events, those conversations and short performances with performers in that wonderful small theater. I'm going right now to buy the two-fer gift memberships so it will be easier to get my friends to go with me to those shows!
ReplyDeletewell, thanks (with sarcasm)--I managed to stay clear of the stupidity of black Friday and route myself a long way away from the two malls. Now I just spent all my money because you had to go and tell me about this.
ReplyDeleteThey are not paying you st least a little something? You should get a cut from a lot of people, with all you do to help artists and venues draw crowds and fill rooms. You certainly deserve a piece of the action from the two places you are promoting today. - Will
