Showtime’s Californication is without a doubt the best TV show around these days. Sure, it’s over the top at times, it’s sordy and seedy, there’s a lot of rock ‘n roll and even more sex. But that’s kinda like life, right? Well, if you’re lucky it is.
Onto the soundtrack then… opener “Fuck You I’m Famous” comes courtesy of Shooter Jennings who sounds like a poor man’s Kid Rock. Luckily one can always count on the Eagles Of Death Metal to come up with a great song. In this case it’s a cover of Stealer Wheels classic which is called “Stuck In The Metal” here. After that there’s a whole bunch of other solid acts contributing material such as Cracker, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Monster Magnet, Warren Zevon, Better Than Ezra and Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee with an acoustic version of “Home Sweet Home”.
Season 4 of Californication is also the season in which Moody’s daughter Becca joins the band Queens Of Dogtown, fronted by Pearl (played by singer and actress Zoë Kravitz). Logically they’re featured on here as well with three covers: Alice In Chain’s “Would”, The Misfits’ “Last Caress” and Skid Row’s “I Remember You”.
If you’re a fan of the series or of sordid and seedy rock ‘n roll, you’re free to check this one out!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
