I bought Pernice Brothers’ 2001 album The World Won’t End at Los Angeles’ Amoeba Music during a family trip in the summer of 2013.

I know that because I posted about it during a week recounting my purchases at Amoeba on that trip.

Though this album comes highly recommended, and I’ve liked everything I’ve heard on it, I think this is the first time I’ve heard one of its songs since that post eight years ago.

In another post that week, frequent commenter Dana predicted that Amoeba Music would soon go out of business, with streaming making the sale of physical media obsolete.

I’m happy to report that his prediction hasn’t come true — not yet, at least. My family visited Los Angeles again this past summer and Amoeba is still going strong. The store has relocated a few miles up Hollywood Boulevard, and was doing a brisk business when we visited.

People are still buying CDs for some reason, and the store also has a massive collection of vinyl, as well as sections for books, posters, t-shirts, and novelty items.

Here’s hoping they make it at least another eight years.
