Comment:

I'm going to southern California on Wednesday! It's a work trip, so this mix includes a lot of songs that my co-workers and I can sing along to (Free Falling, A Long December, A Whole New World) as well as some slightly esoteric California songs that I love and want to introduce my co-workers to (Ode to L.A., Los Angeles Waltz). I don't actually like all these songs (most especially All I Wanna Do), but I think they suit my purposes with this mix. Also, the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreaming" is not on here because we won't be California Dreaming-- we will real-life be there!

The mix title is from the Rilo Kiley song: "They say, California is a recipe for a black hole. I say, I got my best shoes on, I'm ready to go."
