For those of you who are bored, it's Wednesday back in the office or Tuesday and you've eaten as much ham as you can stand, and are poking about the interwebs.
I'm working on themed mix discs, and am opening the door to suggestions.

The first theme is 'California' and I've done a search for songs with California (and Los Angeles and San Francisco) so now I'm starting to dig deeper. There is no need to suggest "I Love LA". "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" (Or perhaps "Los Angelenos") should suffice to acknowledge that LA exists.

The next set is the four classic elements. I'm trying to get enough material that I can get a semi-coherent 'sound' for each element. We'll see how that works out.

"Beverly Hills" by Weezer, of course. There's a selection of songs by Everclear that would work nicely, the most obvious being "Like a California King," though I prefer "Santa Monica." No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" would have to go on any California mix I made, personally. A band called Dead Girls Corp. covered Missing Person's "Walking in L.A." Don't know if that's any good, though.

Hmmm. I have a Hagfish cover of Walking in L.A. but I'll have to look into the rest of this. I didn't realize that Tragic Kingdom was specifically about Orange County, and will have to go back and listen again.
