Written by

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

Songs About LA and CA Playlist:

Freeway — Aimee Mann
Trouble In Shangri-La — Stevie Nicks
Clay Feet — Kristin Hersh
California — Low
San Bernardino — The Mountain Goats
The Californian — Heidi Berry
Take California — Propellerheads
California Love — 2Pac featuring Dr. Dre
Hollywood — Madonna
California — Joni Mitchell
It Never Rains In Southern California — Albert Hammond
I Remember California — R.E.M.
Golden Ocean — 50 Foot Wave
Still In Hollywood — Concrete Blonde

    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.
