Excerpts from the Trip Playlist

I went to California recently, a trip that involved a lot of walking, driving, and a flight being deplaned due to an unruly passenger (NOT ME). And in between all that travel, my wife was DJing a California-themed set for us. Here are some excerpts.

• “California Dreamin’” by The Mamas and the Papas

• “San Francisco” by The Mowgli’s

• “Californication” by Red Hot Chili Peppers

• “Los Angeles, I’m Yours” by The Decemberists

• “Los Angeles, Be Kind” by Owl John

• “To Live & Die in L.A.” by 2Pac

• “Beverly Hills” by Weezer

• “Ventura Highway” by America

• “III. Telegraph Ave.” by Childish Gambino

• “(Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding

• “I Go To The Zoo” by Scott Michael Foster

And on the subject of that last one, I did go to the zoo in San Diego, and it really is such a better zoo.
