Los Angeles is a music city.

The rock stars and the pop stars, sure, but also the session musicians, the producers, the mixers, the visual artists, the engineers, the tour managers, the caterers, the label interns and on and on. Many of the names in your liner notes, many of the people who made your collection possible, have lost so much.

So far, thankfully, the record stores we've caught up with are standing, majority of their staff is ok, and they're working to give support to their community, which includes all the people above, but also their regular customers, people just like you.

Here are just two examples, with ways you can help them, even from far away.

Our adult Amoeba California tees are now available online at Amoeba.com. These support L.A. Wildfire relief efforts, with the proceeds going to (World Central Kitchen), a nonprofit organization that mobilizes unbelievably quickly to provide fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. They are in L.A. now feeding firefighters/first responders, and the public.

Adult tees ($24.99), in unisex Green and Natural and a Fitted Grey version can be found via the link in our bio or:
