Songs to remind me why I moved to LA in the first place (I really am starting to hate it here)

This mix pretty much covers all the bases as to why you should stay in L.A. Whether it's drinking Hennesey with Morrisey, seeing drug-addicted hookers, or because of its proximity to Disneyland, it's all here. I tried to make the tape with as many L.A. bands as possible.
