    I just have two additions to this awesome playlist:

    Neko Case – In California
    Another suicide on the 405
    The Black Dahlia, she smiles and smiles

    Put the Blame on Mame from Gilda
    Rita Hayworth tore it up with her all out performance, but I love this slow guitar version of this song even more
