-
There isn't any giant meteor (that we know of) headed towards Earth or Los Angeles, but if there were, it wouldn't be a very pretty picture for us Angelenos.

-
OK, it isn't a music video. But Southern California music just isn't complete without Coachella! Here's a QUICK look at SoCal's annual music festival.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are associated with California with songs like "Dani California" and "Californication." But don't forget "Under the Bridge," which is all about Los Angeles.

"California" is a song about heading back to the Golden State by car from an unspecified location. The real question isn't where they are coming from, but rather, why did they ever leave?
-
The next pick in our Video of the Day build up to the music special is Bob Seger's classic "Hollywood Nights." It is arguably one of the greatest songs about Los Angeles ever written.
-
Don't panic: this is a music video, not a news update. With fire season getting under way, we can just be thankful that it isn't as bad as we see here.
-
Brace yourself - we're going back to the early 90s. Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do" was arguably the pop hit of 1995, and there's no denying that this song about life in L.A. is incredibly catchy.

"Free Fallin'" is a classic song about heartbreak in the San Fernando Valley. In this old-school music video, Tom Petty takes us back to the Valley of yesterday.
-
Each day until the SoCal music special, the Video of the Day will be featuring music videos and songs that have to do with Los Angeles. There is no better way to kick off the next two weeks than with Randy Newman's classic "I Love L.A."

-
Today, the Hollywood sign is a Los Angeles icon that represents the city's film culture.. But not too long ago, it was a decaying eyesore perched above the city for everyone to groan at.
