Life is wild and weird in Shangri-L.A. You can buy tomahawks and plastic palm-tree wallets at Graumanns’s, catch a Jayne Mansfield movie on the Hollywood Boulevard, or go hunting for the punk/rockabilly/surf duck of your dreams. You might even get to be in Secret Agent Lover Man’s next movie alongside Weetzie Bat! You might not know about living happily ever after with Weetzie, but you’ll know about happily.
Here are 10 slinkster-cool songs for hanging out with Weetzie Bat.

Log in to replyJust when I thought rookie couldn't get any better
Woah this is so cool! I finished reading weetzie bat two minuites before I saw this post!
Log in to replyAnaheed is going to hate me (reference to her book review) but I don’t get it, the Weetzie thing. Not sure why either. I like everything like it. I think it’s a more literary thing I am use to. Not sure if comments are a place to post tech problems but friday playlist tags leads to one post for me, this one. I am oddly focused on friday playlist tags because I wrote a bookmarklet that does a search of the band names. I can’t not skip to the next song. I just can’t :D Anyway, La Coupe is rad. New fav.

Log in to replyI’ve never read (or heard of) Weetzie Bat but now I gotta get my hands on these books! I love love love Passion Pit’s cover of dreams and Blondie and the Shangri-La’s make my heart go pitter patter. I think Beach House would be a good addition to this playlist, “Bloom” is killer.
Log in to replyI love the Beach Boys! I am glad that they are on the playlist.
