Amoeba Records is a good spot to go in LA (and SF too! probably better there, actually). If you go in LA go across the street to the Hennesy & Ingalls art/architecture/design book store (although the other location is on 3rd street mentioned above).
Personally, I'm all about the record stores and if your into that also check out Vacation (more metal/psych/prog/rock oriented) and Origami (more hipster music oriented), both on the eastern side of Sunset in the Silverlake/Echo Park part of town.
In LA you can also go to Fairfax where Surpreme (check out the bowl), Hundreds, HUF and a bunch of the more streetwear oriented shops are. Also the famous Canter's Deli.
If you like bikes and arty shops you can go to the small but interesting "Bike District" where there are a couple of bike shops, a good ice cream shop that has weird flavors and vegan ice cream, Synchronicity space and a weird gallery/shop called Vlad the Retailer. Go east on Melrose, under the freeway and you'll hit Heliotrope where all the shops start.
In Culver City (where the aforementioned Museum of Jurassic Technology is) there are also a bunch of art galleries and related places to check out too, all close.

In SF the good shops are kind of scattered. Be sure to check out Acrimony, Union Made, Huf, and G-Star though. Google map em.

if you dig GOOD sushi, shimos on clement street, best in the city, not cheap, but hands down the best. if you go on a Monday night you might run into a big celeb whos there on Mondays a lot, just let the poor guy eat and dont ask him to say "nanu nanu" for you.

Los Angeles:
If you don't mind walking for a few hours you will find clothes on Melrose that you won't find anywhere else. A lot of boutique style clothing and some Marquee shops for different labels.Also Robertson Blvd. between National and Pico has some less expensive "Rodeo-esque" shops.
For music just go to Ameoba in both cities.

Yea, about driving LA -SF, we are still discussing that, since I don't have license, and neither does my friend.
Maybe by then we have one and rent a car.
otherwise, plane to SF- a lot of CHP on Highway 5 the last few years. be careful.********
- or take the 101 or 1, it's much, much, nicer. takes a bit longer, but very worth it if you have the timeDoTheMacarena
- they could also have a bird (heli) or plane, checking your speed.akrok
