CALIFORNIA MIX-TAPE

Written by The 405
Yesterday I went on a fantastic trip to the beach, I have the sun burn to prove it, so I felt like making a mix-tape in honor of that. I wanted to create a mix-tape not just about the beach, but one for California in general, as its summer time and the beach is definitely the thing to do right now in California. Here are a few great songs featuring California, many of which I listened to yesterday on the drive to the beach, please enjoy.
- California Soul – Marlena Shaw
- California Dreamer - Wolf Parade
- Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
- California - Josh Ritter
- California Dreaming - The Mamas and the Papas
I thought about including California by Phantom Planet, but since that song reminded me of my ex-girlfriend…I just didn’t want to :-).

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
