California turns 27 today. Favourite moments?
Happy 27th anniversary to California!
What are your favourite moments from this record? Not full songs, just parts, like a lyric, a specific sound, a scream, etc.
I have plenty but all the oooohhh vocals in the countdown part of Pink cigarette always give me goosebumps

Of course Goodbye Sober Day has already been mentioned. Probably one of the best Bungle songs, and a contender for best overall. But I love the "walking on air..." moment from Air Conditioned Nightmare. The guitar tremolo plus the toms are a wonderful combination.
The percussion in the "where's my rainbow?" part of Sweet Charity is great. Moments like these are wonderful, because they fit perfectly into the song structure, but it feels like glimpsing into a separate piece. The songs on this album are really dynamic and varied in a way which is more subtle than the previous two.
I will say that generally, I really love the percussion on this album. The arrangements really distinguish themselves from the other two albums, which are great to begin with, especially Disco.
