There's something meta about driving home from SF after a weekend and hearing the Decemberists "O Valencia" while passing through Valencia. Clearly the song isnt about the city, north of LA, but still the name stuck and the weirdness sets in. Above is the video, which the Wang have mentioned before, mainly due to the coolness of the clip.
There's always something great about long distance trips where one can let their iPod's playlists go crazy. I have learned that even an LA<->SF trip only goes through about little under 100 songs in the iPod. This really doesnt make a dent on the 4k+ songs i have in my right now. Sometimes i have song in there that i never even heard of. But the Wang do enjoy sometime along in the desert, in the car, it is truly the best time to think about everything.
On that note it is with a sad heart that the Wang may decide to leave LA for NoCal permanently in the coming month... but its still up in the air right now. Great opportunities lie north, so the Wang may finally fulfill his dreams of permanently becoming a SF-ian. But in his heart of hearts, LAist is truly a much better website than SFist. So a part of the Wang will be forever left here in the city of Angels... mostly in Pasadena, across the street from McMurphy's in Old Town... DAMN U VODKA!
Still friends and comfort zones made the Wang's last departure rather hard, perhaps this time, for good, will be even harder. Still let us enjoy the meta-ness of the musical moment during a car ride, cause that what life is really about sometimes, being lost in the moment and not thinking too much.
