6 Sept 2013: it's... the return of the Mystery Year (1965)

[Here'sToYa!]

The Yardbirds "Heart Full Of Soul"

These all have been great songs so far, but nothing I haven't heard many times before. Sometimes pre-DOB years (I was born in '68) can be fertile ground for new discoveries.

OK, I know we heard "Hang on Sloopy" quite recently. Unnecessary, Renee.

[Lightnin' Rod]

Yardbirds: kinda LN-ish, methinks.  VHM anyway.

Nah.  BOS.

Now, Sloopy, this is LN for me.

The McCoys "Hang On Sloopy"

[Here'sToYa!]

Yardbirds: kinda LN-ish, methinks.  VHM anyway.

Nah.  BOS.

Now, Sloopy, this is LN for me.

Yup, I was thinking Sloopy was one step too far onto familiar oldies turf.

She played it in March, FWIW.

The Kinks "Till The End Of The Day"

I wonder if there's a story behind the name "Sloopy". It's pretty odd. I wonder what a girl named Sloopy would look like. Droopy? Like a sailboat?

BOS3 Kinks "Til' the End of the Day"

The Kinks "Till The End Of The Day"

This is a tired subject, but I'll go there anyway: 10:18 and we're on song 6.

THOSE MID-60'S AND THEIR DARN SHORT SONGS!

the sloopy John B.  No wonder I always associated this song with "Come On Down To My Boat" when I was 12.

Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs "Wooly Bully"

[Big Fingers McGee]

OMFG: Mystery year!  "Positively 4th St" means it's 1965!

ETA: once again we get 2 '60s sets in one week.  Making for a very happy Friday.

Speaking of Friday, does this mean a possible return of "Hits From Hell" next Friday?

If not, I'll post a Morey classic that day. 

I was wondering that too -- AL and DC were both kind of anti- HFH sets, preferring to sprinkle hellish songs sparingly thru regular 10@10s.  Maybe Mr Pugh feels differently.

While Mr. Pugh doesn't sound as if he's The Most Interesting Man In The World, I have to say that the quality of KFOG's music has generally improved (Cumulus' cancellation of "Lost And Found" notwithstanding).

Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs "Wooly Bully"

This is an oldies standard, as well, but I'll welcome garage anytime. Staleness is in the ear of the beholder.

The Kinks "Till The End Of The Day"

This is a tired subject, but I'll go there anyway: 10:18 and we're on song 6.

THOSE MID-60'S AND THEIR DARN SHORT SONGS!

I've suggested a 35 minute minimum to the sets. Not holding my breath.
