This week, in addition to the usual requests, progressions through the years and spotlights on particular years, we throw in some unusual synergy, such as a pair of tunes by female artists describing a relationship in the first person and a pair of songs from bands on opposite coasts, recorded at about the same time, personifying death as a young woman. Also we have a pair of tracks produced by David Hassinger in 1967 for two different bands: one just starting out (the Grateful Dead), and another at their peak of creativity (The Electric Prunes, before Hassinger himself co-opted them). Plus we have a suite from the Mothers of Invention. All this and more in just two hours. What a bargain.
