we are not perfect, but we sure try.

Artist Song
elliott smith  angeles 
death cab for cutie  why you'd want to live here 
rogue wave  chicago x 12 
hot hot heat  good day to die 
elefant  don't wait 
liz phair  dogs of l.a. 
bright eyes  cleanse song 
idlewild  the space between all things 
the mountain goats  distant stations 
day at the fair  eastern homes and western hearts 
modest mouse  karma's payment 
bad astronaut  not a dull moment 
ryan adams  the drugs not working 
stars  set yourself on fire 
the decemberists  los angeles, i'm yours 

Comment:

60 minutes; for laura. next month we're roadtripping to disneyland, so we'll need mixes for the car ride. the obligatory songs-about-or-mentioning-los-angeles mix.

i think i'd rather be shot in the back of the head than live in LA - but this mix does a pretty good job of making me at least not mind daydreaming about the notion. love lots of these songs...

I have a romanticized view of LA, but it is the Wonderland Avenue-Short Cuts version of seedy, neurotic LA, hell, even Boyz in the Hood. Favorites here are Ryan Adams & The Decemberists. Y ademAís, Aíse habla espaA¦ol!
