I first heard “Going Out Of My Head”, a stunning and poignant track, when it was in a Mad Men episode years and years ago. Over time, this got into the rotation as a novelty, a curveball and change of pace occasionally. This album just delivers such a strange, vivid, and delightful nostalgia for something I never even experienced- it makes me feel as if I’m at a party my grandparents are hosting in the 1960s, sipping on a cocktail, sitting in a wood paneled room. Undoubtedly the tv usage helped this, but I think that’s an inherent vibe of this record by itself. How wonderful it is when music can take us to a different time and place.

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
