The only thing good about having to go beach-less this Labor Day weekend is finally taking the time to discover Californication.

Shown through the dedication of series creator Tom Kapinos and music supervisors Budd Carr and Nora Felder, the cast and staff have certainly created a “musical arc” for the show for which I can’t thank them enough.

Finally, I can justify having that perfect fantasy soundtrack that I pretend follows me daily.

Here’s some info on the series “track pack” and “evolving soundtrack.”  While I’m definitely digging the soundtrack Temptation: Music From the Showtime Series Californication, there’s nothing like seeing it paired to Duchovny’s strangely familiar struggle through the daily life of someone whose work represents his life and whose life represents his work.
