Feeling California

You know what I mean. You might've seen the film I'm referencing [I haven't seen it]. Well, they're referencing a song by a band I used to adore [what was I thinking?!].

The Dandy Warhols said something about Minnesoter, but nobody knows what Minnesota really feels like.

I was listening to California Girls [I know, too obvious], but, you know, the Beach Boys, they do make you feel California [check out the scenery of this clip... this is the best one with Brian Wilson in it – you can really hear him and appreciate his contribution to the band, as opposed to the clips of the crap eighties reformation with Mike Love... don't get me started on Kokomo].

It's probably an album-wide thing with Pavement's Crooked Rain Crooked Rain [this song is a good example... I've always loved country music].

I'm struggling to come up with a coherent idea, so I'll just shove in another YouTube example – Sweet Fucking Child O' Mine.

Yes, that was a good one. Are you feeling it?

This is the extent of my knowledge of the 'music from the streets'. How cute is Ice Cube!
