The 60s were an interesting time with regards to music (also everything else, but let’s just talk about the music here, okay?). When people talk about missing “the music of the sixties,” they’re almost always referring to the Beatles or any of the psychadelic rock that became prevalent in the later years of the decade, but honestly, if I had to pick a favorite genre that really blew up during the Mad Men years, I’d be hard pressed to say anything other than girl group pop. Frequently silly and more manufactured than Lana Del Rey, it wasn’t exactly groundbreaking, but a lot of it was also incredibly catchy. Much of the genre was written by adults to appeal to young girls, and thus was primarily concerned with boys and love (often a really weird, dark version of teenage love — a lot of songs ended with one half or both members of a couple dying and then reuniting in heaven), but every so often you’d get something completely weird and nonsensical, like the Tammys’ “Egyptian Shumba” (included herein) or Marsha Gee’s “Peanut Duck” (not included, but search it out, I beg you). But as silly and lightweight as it could be, the genre was also home to some amazing producers (before Quincy Jones was turning Michael Jackson into a star, he was doing the same for Lesley Gore) and totally kickass hooks and harmonies.

One of my favorite songs on this mix is “The Worst Record in the World” by Aletha and the Memories, which is actually a pseudonym for legendary producer Kim Fowley and some girls he rounded up off the street to sing “Louie Louie” hooks as he riffed sarcastically into a mic about how pop, R&B, and surf music were mind-numbing and sickening. (Sample line: “Do you ever think there’s been a dance called The Wheelchair? You can do it sitting down.”) It’s kind of ironic to listen to now amid the complaints of teenagers who romanticize Cold War-era music, and I love it a lot.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these. I decided to show some love to all the ladies of the world with this newest one.

Just enough artists that I know to bring me in, new ones to intrigue me and a Flight of the Conchords reference? I’m in!
