They also opened and closed a store in Dunedin in the last few years. I visited NZ last year and the Auckland Real Groovy reminded me a lot of the SF Amoeba. Knowledgeable staff and huge selection of CDs and DVDs and vinyl at amazing prices. The Wellington store was smaller but still interesting, like the Berkeley Amoeba. I suspect that Real Groovy expressly took the Amoeba/Newbury model to the other side of the world, because it's probably the only way for a record store to succeed in the 21st century. - -Steve ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 13:31:59 -0700 From: Andrew Hamlin Subject: Re: [loud-fans] while we're talking about record stores Rog-snark aside, you'll find more information on what I'm assuming is the same movie Doug refers to, here: http://www.ineedthatrecord.com/Site/I_Need_That_Record!.html Now if we could just get Alan Zweig's "Vinyl" documentary back into print. And for the record, Todd Louiso's the heart of "High Fidelity," Andy Sha Na Na alumni gather for NY reunion AP By FRANK ELTMAN, Associated Press Writer Frank Eltman, Associated Press Writer  Sat Sep 25, 3:04 pm ET HUNTINGTON, N.Y.  The gold lame varsity jackets still fit. Four decades after performing as the penultimate act at Woodstock (having been invited by Jimi Hendrix) and three decades after a hosting a long-running TV variety show and appearing in the movie classic, "Grease," several former members of the doo-wop singing group Sha Na Na are reuniting this weekend for a special one-time-only performance. "It feels so natural that I just have not had as much fun or felt in harmony with anybody since," said Robert Leonard, a longtime Hofstra University linguistics professor who in 1969 helped form Sha Na Na. He spent two years with the band before being offered a fellowship to Columbia Graduate School that led to a career in education. Leonard, who sang bass and can be seen in the Woodstock movie wearing the group's signature gold lame jacket, is bringing together former members of the group for a performance Saturday at a celebration marking Hofstra's 75th anniversary. Other performers on the bill include Public Enemy, Blue Oyster Cult, Fountains of Wayne, Lisa Lisa, and hip-hop star Trey Songz "It's being billed as from doo-wop to hip-hop," Leonard said of the bill, a somewhat eclectic lineup not dissimilar to Woodstock, where folkies like Arlo Guthrie and Richie Havens performed as well hard-rockers like The Who and Ten Years After. Three longtime members of Sha Na Na actually still perform more than 50 shows a year, but this is the first time that Leonard and two others, David Garrett, now a New York City businessman, and Elliot Cahn, a California entertainment attorney who once managed Green Day, will be back on stage together. - --read the whole thing at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100925/ap_on_en_mu/us_sha_na_na_reunion ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 19:00:27 -0400 From: Jenny Grover Subject: [loud-fans] announcement Nothing lasts forever.
