Since I am about to board a plane to spend five days in Wisconsin, I am taking a little of CA with me. I'd actually thought of compiling songs about Los Angeles and California for some time. I actually had many more than this, but I will save them for another installment.
Tell me about others I should have and include! x-m

Whoa! _I"ve_ been listening to a mix of songs about CA that my friend Sarah made a couple years ago while prepare for a trip to LA. It's getting me in the mood for the big move.
I'm guessing you're now in Wisconsin. I won't be seeing you there. Much as I would like to meet up, it's not going to happen right now.
California Here I Come - Al Jolson
Los Angeles - X
California Waiting - Kings of Leon
Diamonds On My Windshield - Tom Waits
Whittier Blvd - The Midnighters
Mendocino - The Sir Douglas Quintet
San Francisco Bay Blues - Jesse Fuller
California Stars - Billy Bragg
Rosalita (come out tonight) - Bruce Springsteen
(look it up)
:-0
ooh, thanks, Rex. How did I forget X? oy... Some of the others I'll need to dig up.
Screenwriter's Blues - Soul Coughing
Kids in America - Kim Wilde (you know this is my LA song even though it's not really LA specific, it just FEELS like it)
California 1 - The Decembrists
W - Mystic
Don't forget the Runaways! "Hollywood" and "California Paradise" from "Queens of Noise"
or "Going to California" by Led Zeppelin
Those are the two that immediately come to mind.
