What inspired this thread? Was there an earthquake while I was at the gym?

Rufus Wainwright - California
 Art Brut - Moving to L.A.
 Rilo Kiley - Glendora
 
 also, in Death Cab's "Tiny Vessels," there is a line about Silverlake + California...
 
 "California 2005 (No Whistling)" by Phantom Planet is a prettier acoustic version of the original...you'll like it better if you're sick of the other...
 
 others were mentioned...
