California's Amoeba Records Stores Partying With The Beatles Tonight

Its 9-9-09 and it might as well be the universe's Official Beatles Day. The entire catalog of The Beatles songs have been released on remastered CDs (the set is a hefty $260) and The Beatles Rockband is now in stores ($59 for the game, $249 for the game and Beatles-inspired instruments).

Brooklyn Nomad has put together a great list of places in the world that were important to The Beatles But if you're stuck in California and can't just hop on a plane to India, Liverpool, Montreal, Hamburg or London, then consider popping into one of the Amoeba Records stores in either Hollywood, San Francisco or Berkeley.

Amoeba is an old-school, independent record store that (we hope) will never go out of business. In Hollywood, it's located next to the ArcLight Theater on Sunset Boulevard. It's a two-storey building packed with new CDs, used CDs, some new vinyl, a lot of old vinyl and really, anything music-related. And don't think its just for hippies and rockers. They totally sell Mariah Carey CDs too. (Shhhh....)

And today, the stores are having an all-day long Beatles party!
