somehow I kinda missed truly appreciating this era: peak oldies before the British Invasion of Beatles, Stones, etc. joyful rock n roll, pop, dance it's just fun "Here's a man in evening clothes. How he got here, I don't know. But man, you outta seem him go: twistin the night away!" This week's favs Beachwood 4-5789 — The Marvelettes Twistin' the Night Away – Sam Cooke Where Have All the Flowers Gone — The Kingston Trio Breaking Up Is Hard to Do — Neil Sedaka Duke of Earl — Gene Chandler
We are so lucky to have such a wealth of music at our fingertips. The trial and error of working out what you like is so satisfying- once you find a song you like, you’ll find an album of theirs you love, a duet they’ve done with another artist who is now your new favourite, and so on. Let your music taste snowball! old soul is my favourite, here are some recs: Let’s Say Goodbye Tomorrow - Jimmy Ruffin
It’s All Right - Sam Cooke
Misty Blue - Dorothy Moore
Security - Otis Redding
Dearest Darling - Etta James There is so much to explore!
Too many favorites but this is the craziest year in rock history and probably biggest turning point of popular music?
The Velvet Underground and Nico — The VU
Revolver — the Beatles
Blonde on Blonde — Bob Dylan
Pet Sounds — The Beach Boys
this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing
