#lasongs

Hey for a project on Sunset Blvd, I'm gathering songs that specifically mention or occur at locations on Sunset. Do any come to mind--any genre, any period, anywhere from downtown to Pacific Palisades and Malibu? I've got a big list of the obvious ones -- Motley Crue, Jan & Dean, Joni Mitchell, Beck, a ton of songs from the wiki page on LA songs, etc -- but am looking for deep cuts. Punk, country, garage, r&b, disco, rap, rock, new wave, grunge, etc. tips in comments section appreciated. 🤘 For example, Tom Waits, "Emotional Weather Report," which takes place near the corner of Sunset & Alvarado. #sunsetboulevard #alvarado #lasongs (at TOP Restaurant)

LA was awesome. All 36 hours I witnessed of it. Amoeba? Very cool, very big. Got two 7"s, neither from LA bands. I liked the driving, I miss driving. Those sunsets. All the Marnie shit on Girls this week is just golden, and really speaking to me right now.

Third, because I once put it on another mix with a sample of Crispin Glover’s opening lines from ‘Deadman’ over the intro, and the tune began right as he was saying “…But the boat is still.” (Use your imagination.) It came across beautifully. I’ll try doing that again. I think it’ll fit the Pacific coast highway well.

Surely I've posted this here before. No? OK. This one's not just a summer nights song, I've decided. It's a coastal tune. It's Californian, even if California via the English Moors. Since this trip may involve driving as far north as Santa Barbara and will definitely involve driving down to San Diego, it feels appropriate. Swap it with "Pink Moon" if you're going for that VW commercial effect. I love how you can hear him strumming so close to the bridge -- that woody, upper-midrange firmness to the nylon strings is unmistakable.
