• L.A. Burnout: It is HERE that you can download a great compilation of 1960s and ’70s L.A.-centric music.

  As the maker of the mix says, “L.A. Burnout is made up of the sounds floating around Los Angeles in the late ’60s and ’70s; a faded aural imprint of the canyons, beaches, wildfires, neighborhoods, late-nights and early mornings of a bygone L.A.”

  So goooooood.

  P.S. I know that downloading is passé. Fight the trend.
