Duran Duran recently landed at Amoeba Records in SF to go record shopping, and it's a pretty informative little tidbit. Why are we posting this in LA? Dunno. Maybe because John Taylor lives in LA? He gives a shout-out to the LA Amoeba store? Because we can?

Simon LeBon buys Neu and Patti Smith, and talks about stealing the first Clash album. Taylor finds a copy of Devo's Freedom of Choice for a buck. Oh the excitement.

Fourteen years after it first came out, we still haven't made up our minds about this cover of Grandmaster Flash's “White Lines.”
