California Sun
Directed by Thom Andersen
A “music video” to accompany the Farmingdale Sound Machine version of “California Sun,” originally recorded by the Rivieras. The Farmingdale Sound Machine had created a video for the song using clips from Thom Andersen's film Los Angeles Plays Itself. Andersen supplanted these with movie clips that "more precisely illustrate the song, although the relation to the lyrics will sometimes be ironic, befitting an ironic mournful version of the song."
