13 July 2016: it's...1966!
« on: July 13, 2016, 10:23:28 AM »
Is this as far back as DW has gone so far?

ETA: Nope, we hit 1965 about a month ago. But we visted 1976 and 1986 recently, so I guess there's a pattern evolving.

Some groovy clips so far (promos for the Batman movie and the original run of Star Trek), and one not-so-groovy but very timely one (the University of Texas sniper, the first mass shooting most of us can recall).

Six tunes in and we just got the first OMG song of the set: Hold Tight by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. (One of the more awkward group names in history.)

Just peeked at the list. Pleasant, but other than DDDBM&T, nothing truly earth-shattering. I note the "bonus" of Dylan, which coulda been in the Weed set last week. And a return appearance by Ms. Sinatra.

He refers to her erroneous demise in the backsell, too.

And yes, this one goes to eleven, thus cracking the 40-minute barrier.
