OST: A SoCal Love Affair from the Valley of the Go-Go's

Vacation, all I ever wanted.

Hi cuties! 💋I made you a very special mix this week!

Here’s the sitch: I’m on the West Coast, re-acquainting myself with the sun. This was half-an-impulse decision—I try to go somewhere warm in the winter, before my mental health completely sinks into the underworld. And great news, gang, I made it just in time! We were getting to a sobbing-while-listening-to-Cass-Elliot kind of place, but it’s fine now, it’s fine, it’s totally fine.

✨Anyway✨ whenever I travel I make a long, ever-evolving playlist to join me. It typically starts with a base of tunes that reflect the environment, and then I pull in significant songs from the experience. So if you tune in throughout the week it might have new additions and arrangements, but it’ll all be good. 💖🌴 It’s here whenever you need to take a warm weather vacation from your troubles (grit & glam included).

Anyway, so far, I made you a playlist about: Cheating on New York with LA, getting chatty in your Ubers, a Dragon Ball Z convention, ordering a cocktail called “Perfect Days” ‘cause that’s all you’re having this week, Liv Tyler & Alicia Silverstone in Aerosmith’s “Crazy” music video, unbridled joy at Jumbo’s Clown Room, Flixbus, yr friends who moved out west, clichés, free margaritas, “I’ve never been to Palm Springs!,” Taco Tuesday every day, Eve Babitz’s Black Swans, tales from former actors, dinner with the fam at El Coyote, motel rooms that match your outfit, neon, the hedonism monster let loose, and DUH! The greatest band of all time, the Go-Go’s!
