DOWNLOAD: Aquarium Drunkard: L.A. Burnout


Aquarium Drunkard just posted up Part II of there download compilation 'L.A. Burnout' and it's the follow-up to one they did a while back. Just read the decriptions below and you'll get the picture. Pretty much two compilations covering my all-time favourite period in music, closely followed by 90s hip-hop.


Sean Howe and Aquarium Drunkard are back with L.A. Burnout 2: Still Burnt. Continuing in the vein of last year’s L.A. Burnout, the 25 tracks compiled within exemplify the not-quite-there nature of the city, particularly what was being laid down in the 70s. Play this mix around dusk while driving through Topanga with the windows rolled down — it’s the next best thing to time travel.  Get Burnt after the jump……



The genesis of this post goes back to the end of 2006 via a longtime AD reader (Sean Howe). If you’ve been around a minute you may remember L.A. Burnout from January of 2007.  As I mentioned a couple of years ago, these are the tunes I was spinning while reading both Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll’s Legendary Neighborhood and Hotel California: The True-Life Adventures of CSN, etc.
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.
Play this mix around dusk while driving through Topanga with the windows rolled down — it’s the next best thing to time travel.  Grab it after the jump….
