Day 18: A song from the year you were born

"Difference" - #Mama Cass (1970)

Being born in 1970 meant that any authentic 60’s counterculture that was still around during my childhood had to be understood through the depressively distorting, earth-toned lens that was the 70’s. But that doesn't mean these lingering bits were horrible. In fact, I'm drawn to those sometimes desperate, often exploitative, end-of-hippie relics more often than to the OG Summer of Love stuff itself. Like this little song here: written by b-movie soundtrack composer Charles Fox for the (H.R.) #PufnStuf film, it's #CassElliot playing Witch Hazel singing lyrics that still make a lot of sense today.

Day 17: A song you'd sing a duet with someone on karaoke

"Some Velvet Morning" - #NancySinatra & #LeeHazlewood (1968)

Shoutout to #RowlandSHoward & #LydiaLunch who introduced this one to me in the 80s. But I'd grow to love every song on that original Nancy & Lee LP. The hijinks these two got up to on this record - equal parts mawkish sentimentality, trailer park trash talk, and swirling timeless beauty - had no real parallels at the time. This duet is Nancy & Lee at their most deliciously mysterious.

A Sunday jam: watching a piece by Anthony Mason about Neil Diamond on CBS Sunday Morning and this tune came to mind.

How am I just discovering The Liverbirds? One of the first all-girl bands to come out of the Mersey scene that birthed the Beatles. Just competent enough to be nice to listen. It's kind of like a competent 60's Shaggs. I wonder if @thatericalper has heard them before.

Here's a song that I feel is very personal to me. There's a lot of times where I feel this world is too much for a toon to handle. Stress, anxiety, and depression tend to get the better of me. I'm always worried of my friends/mutals hating and leaving me along with the fandom not liking me as a whole. Despite this being written in 1966 it still rings true today. Sometimes I feel very sad indeed. #TheBeachBoys #PetSounds #60sPop https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=216YJKbber8
