Had a friend who was sad. I told her to listen to this song immediately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voGckb0gAfc Donovan - I Love My Shirt

More balm for sad times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGVwreJNWlk Bonzo Dog Band I'm The Urban Spaceman 1968 promo in COLOUR I felt like I'd posted this one before, but a search seems to have proved me wrong. Bonus Doo-Dah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1xEEnKI_Nc 'Ali Baba's Camel' by The Bonzo Dong Doo-Dah Band
The percussion motif from this tune just rushed to the front of my skull: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHayvWj81XE I'm sure I haven't heard this song since the mid '90s. Brains be funny. The Spinanes - Spitfire

^ Whoa, had no idea John Carpenter was a touring musician! Cool to know~ Nice follow-up with Trans Am, also unknown to me! So much to listen to...
^ Ha! 'Pairs nicely with' is always my intended m.o. I didn't know JC was a TM, either. Neat. In jokes are sometimes the best jokes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzW49_Py7P4 Cheers, B! The Legendary Pink Dots - Pennies For Heaven
8 years without 4 wheels and counting.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAXYMOgHQI4 I'd be hard-pressed to think of a tune that could make me miss having a car more right now. Neu! ''Hallogallo''
Believe it or not, this is what that Frankie Bev and Co. tune made me think of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiJUnbFME5s Brains continue to be a funny place to live. Demolition Doll Rods - Tasty - Psycho Kitty
And to follow up my beloved Detroit skizzers, we have some punk of a different stripe... A short treatise on life and how to live it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQUzGwJbIlA Watch out for those plastic guest stars! Bio Ritmo - Carnaval - Vampisoul - Saoco Series - 45rpm - Republic of Georgia
<3 Wow D! You just took me back to that wonderful trip we took to the beautiful Republic of Georgia. Hadn't seen this in forever...
^ I'll spare the masses, but I'll have to tell you the story of how I used to spin this little tune called Asia Minor in public all the time back in the late '90s. Another something I was big on in '96: EDIT - Oops, posted that one already viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17581&p=884547&hilit=sotd#p884547 Serious veer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjjcGLbsebA GET BACK by BIG FREEDIA / Stereolab "Metronomic underground"

Could! Among the many wee (or in the case of this one, then wee) record labels that I grabbed everything I could get my hands on from back then was Merge. Their Bio Ritmo release really hit me right at the time, and I spun it constantly at my bartending gig or when I was DJing shows. I probably hadn't thought about those two songs for a decade, maybe longer, until a week or so ago when, as has been happening to me a lot lately, I got this flash of forgotten music while I was on a bike ride. Took me a few days to figure out what the hell I was remembering and who it was by. Once I looked into it I made some very surprising discoveries about this punk-ass salsa band. Chief among them? Apparently, Rei, we met a couple of decades ago! I'll confess that the tune I remembered, the side I played way more than the flip, was the instrumental one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-PKDXZAFj4 No offense.
