The Mountain Goats - This Year

(download)

I drove home in the California dusk
I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
Pictured the look on my stepfather's face
Ready for the bad things to come
I am going to make it through this year
If it kills me
I am going to make it though this year
If it kills me

Art Brut - Moving to L.A.

(download)

And when I get off the plane
The first thing I'm gonna do
Is strip naked to the waist
And ride my harley-davidson
Up and down Sunset Strip
I might even get a tattoo

Xiu Xiu - Bishop, CA

(download)

This blue dot of sickly light
That is daytime in your embarassed town
Burns a hole in the fading yellow ribbon
On your fading wine colored Cavaliere

Sun Kil Moon - Sam Wong Hotel

(download)

Looking-north-from-grant-avenue-and-sacramento-street-in-chinatown-san-francisco

Coast guard city light
My late evening walks
Down the port's mouth square
Pass Sam Wong Hotel
Oh, Chinatown
Closing down
Ghostly moon mist
Eerily dressed
Oh harp player
On Grant Avenue
Which one tomorrow
of your haunting tunes ?

Otis Redding - (Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay

(download)

I Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Elliott Smith - Angeles

(download)

Someone's always coming around here
Trailing some new kill
Says "I've seen your picture on a
Hundred-dollar bill"
What's a game of chance to you,
Here is one of real skill
So glad to meet you, Angeles
