[[Matt Sharp]] wrote "California" and demoed it to 4-track as part of a collection of songs informally dubbed ''[[That's Incredible!]]'' during the fall of [[1993]], before the Rentals took shape as a band. The song was later properly demoed at [[Poop Alley Studios]] in the spring of [[1995]]. This demo did not appear on the Rentals [[Return of the Rentals|debut album]], but appeared on the compilation ''[[The Poop Alley Tapes]]'', released later that year. The song also appeared on the [[2001]] Rentals fan club-exclusive compilation ''[[Excellent Stocking Stuffer]]''. The song was later reworked, with entirely new lyrics, into "[[Barcelona]]" for the Rentals' sophomore album ''[[Seven More Minutes]]'' in [[1999]]. | [[Matt Sharp]] wrote "California" and demoed it to 4-track as part of a collection of songs informally dubbed ''[[That's Incredible!]]'' during the fall of [[1993]], before the Rentals took shape as a band.
