California Sounds

Thanks to the internet, rare and obscure performances are being preserved, outsourced and viewed retrospectively by keen music fans; for example, Tim Buckley's 1970 performance of the rarity 'Venice Beach' has been watched by tens of thousands of people, while 'Hollywood', as performed by the Stefani Germanotta Band at The Bitter End in 2006, now has millions of views. Elton John once said about life on the road that "sometimes a place finds you", and such was the case for Elton when he recorded Francis Lai's composition 'From Denver To L.A.' which was released to '45 vinyl in 1970. There are, surely, many more recordings to be unearthed from the vaults, gems like '(I'm Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica' by Tom Lehrer.

It's so nice to see Canadian artists of stature, like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, eagerly soaking up the California vibes to produce such music. We have a long tradition of this here in U K, from Led Zeppelin 'Goin To California', to Manfred Mann's Earth Band following up the sea breezy 'California Coastline' with concrete 'California' dreams. Most recently, I loved 'Hollywood' by Marina And The Diamonds. Thank you,.

Man - California Silks and Satins

I don't know Man's music at all, but I find that song really very beautiful now I've been introduced. Thanks so much.
