Think I've mentioned before I'm a big vinyl record collector/ occasional DJ. Im always checking op shops vinyl looking for weird, forgotten stuff, or just anything good. They are usually $.50 to $2 so you can take a punt, play 'em and if they're no good take 'em back and re-donate 'em. Today I got 'Goofy Greats' a 70s K-tel compilation of novelty songs, I remember the ads on TV. Its tremendous. Been playing it since I got home and grinning like a shot fox! Famous funny songs like Mah-na-Mah-Na, Surfin Bird. But also great soul tracks 'A Little bit of Soap', Loop de loop, Little Green bag, Bony Maronie, also Mr Custer, a ripper, and my favourite, Nashville Cats by the Lovin' Spoonful.

Nice hippy selection 70s, thanks. You'd have to be into early Floyd and the Kinks right? That Marianne Faithfull clip is brilliant. Not so big on the Dead, don't dislike them, I like that one. I've gotta get some Spoonful records, I've never really liked summer In the City, but love Daydream, never heard the rain on the roof, but love it, and I must have played Nashville Cats 10 times tonight, I love it.
Have I got some hippy tracks for you 70s my man, give me a minute to dig em up.
This is late 60s Japanese psychedelic hard rock from the Flower travelling' Band. It is blisteringly good:

This is Mungo Jerry's 'Mighty Man', I love this track, the B side to the big hit 'In the Summertime'

Thanks.
That Flower Travellin' Band song is a good un. I love psychedelic guitar but it drives the wife crazy. I might just keep this our little secret, I don't think she's ready for Japanese psychedelia just yet!
Love the Kinks and any period of Pink Floyd.
One of my mates was a Mungo Jerry Fan and I remember listening to In the Summertime at his place when I was a kid but I don't remember the B-side getting much action unfortunately.
Listen to American Beauty by the Dead from beginning to end a couple of times. It'll change your view of them.
We're going to the US for a holiday in a few weeks time and we are staying with some friends in NAshville for a while. Here's another Spoonful song on the topic.

Will do. One of my best mates is a Deadhead, hardcore. I went to the states late 2010. Loved it, really want to go back and get off the beaten track, we hired a Mustang convertible in LA, my mate said, we should have bought a CD of classic LA tracks. Fair dinkum, there must have been 20 radio stations playing classic LA tracks, we drove up the Ventura Hwy, listening to Neil Young Ventura Hwy. I loved LA, so friendly and fun.
One of my favourite Psych guitar tracks is the slow track off Black Sabbaths Paranoid, Planet Caravan. A real hidden gem.
It sound great, its a dream of mine to get to Nashville, Detroit and Memphis, for obvious reasons.

We're also doing New York and San Fran so we'll be wearing flowers in our hair and visiting 710 Ashbury.
A friend was telling me that he took in a show at the Cotton Club in Harlem a couple of years ago and I have been negotiating that one with Mrs TOT for a while now.
This trip is starting to turn into the "I'll go to another museum/Civil War site with you but only if you come to another music shrine with me" tour of the US.
Life is negotiation 70s. Went to Harlem, well worth it, didn't go to the CC, Booked out, a lot was. You probably have your trip all booked, but my advice is check out LA, it was my favourite of the whole trip. We weren't even going to go at all, but my good friend, who is a touring muso, said we had to go there. Yanks talk it down, but I just loved it. Great vibe, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Silverlake, its all great!
And you can mention the LA Getty Museum to your wife, one of the best, and most spectacular settings, in the world. It was fantastic.

Unfortunately LA will have to wait for the next trip. We are really keen to see the Big Apple and there is no way we are going to the US and not seeing our friends in Nashville.
Then we have to go back to work, dammit!
Just to keep teh thread on topic, I better play some more hippy music.

You'll have a blast, I didn't go anywhere I didn't like, and its great fun catching up with friends overseas.

Holy sh!t - didn't expect to see Flower Travellin' Band here - Satori's an all-time classic in my book - Japan's psychadelic answer to early Ozzy-era Sabbath. :clap
