Video Vault Friday!

I'm trying to be diligent!  Today’s video is an 80’s goodie, that many forget: it’s “Come Dancing” by the Kinks.  I loved the skeevy guy Ray Davies plays in the video as the sister’s boyfriend. 

Song In My Head

So I made my annual list of CDs to buy at Amoeba when I go out to LA next month, and in my endless quest for all things Britpop, I'm going back to the source: The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. Critics scoffed at this 1968 release, which came at the height of psychedelia, and it wasn't a big seller. But time has been very kind -- it's been an inspiration for many Britpop artists and commercially, it's the Kinks best seller of all time.


Here's "Picture Book," today's Song in My Head, which was recently used in an HP commercial, if I recall correctly. And if you want to know what else is on this year's Amoeba list, stay tuned.
