Hey guys, sorry this playlist is a little late but I've been up to my eyebrows in video editing. Anyways, these are the songs that I've been obsessed with since moving to LA. I know most of you are probably freezing your butts off so this is a great "August in December" type mix. I've also noticed that there are so many great songs out there with either the words "Los Angeles" or "California" in them. Something about that salt water air just makes ya wanna strum on your guitar I guess.
"Los Angeles, I'm Yours" -- The Decemberists
"405" -- Death Cab for Cutie
"The Faster the Treadmill" -- I Fight Dragons
"California" -- Rufus Wainwright
"New in Town" -- Little Boots
"L.A." -- Ellie Lawson
"Speechless" -- Lady GaGa
"LA (You Looked So Good) -- Cortney & Jake
"California" -- Joni Mitchell
"Bird of the Summer" -- A Fine Frenzy
"Los Angeles" -- Denison Witmer
"LA (Acoustic Version)" -- Gabriel Kahane
"Let's Go Surfing" -- The Drums
"The Cult of Dionysus" -- The Orion Experience
"The Ocean" -- Dar Williams
"West Coast" -- Gavin Creel
"Leave It All Behind You" -- Blueyed Son
Am I missing any amazing California/LA/Summer songs? Lemme know some of your favs.
