Loving LA is just as much about being here as it is about missing home. Even if you’re from here, this is a city about longing, nostalgia, and a certain kind of sadness only entertainment cities really know. Los Angeles itself is practically a song, its stories told on repeat, the sun-powered myth illuminating the myths behind studio sessions from Rumors and LA Woman, from Pet Sounds to Norman Fucking Rockwell. What would happen if you explored LA? Like, really explored it? On Part One of a special two-part episode of SOOT, host Will Dailey takes you deep into LA’s belly of the beast, past the Sunset Strip to find the music town behind the music machine. To hear the artists mentioned in this episode, check Will’s playlist at soundofourtownpod.comWant to chat about the music in your city?
