Fri 8/2/13: Aug 1965!

Beatles, Dylan, Byrds, Turtles, Castaways... fab-ness! VHMs all.

BOS1 Kinks "Set Me Free".

OK, "California Girls" is pretty LN to my ears. Yardbirds too, wonderful as these songs may be.

BOS2 Ramsey Lewis, "The 'In' Crowd"

if the uber-LN "Satisfaction" (yeah, emblematic of Summer '65 but come on) is song #10 I have to assume we'll "go to eleven".
