This is a totally perfect Mod era go go party on some French TV show. I want to be 19 years old, skinny, and at this party.
Music
Just Because I Like It
Minutes to Memories, John Mellencamp
The Outsiders (Netherlands), Daddy Died on Saturday (1968)

A vintage garage rock song with a whimsical sound, brutal Brechtian lyrics, psychedelic tinges, a harpsichord, and Wally’s harmonica solo at the end pushing it over the edge into awesome.
Thanks to Carl Ortona for this one. And thanks to Monoman a/k/a Jeff Conolly for turning Carl on to the Outsiders so he could then spread the goodness.
UPDATE: Ha. I forgot I already posted this one a couple of years ago. Senility. But I’ll leave it up since I like it.
Get into the right gear. Always wear a safety helmet!
