Cherry Vanilla - The Punk (1977) Welcome back Smasher. Here's a classic for you to rock out to while I drag myself to couch for the night. See you tomorrow.

The Society Girls - S.P.C.L.G. (1963) Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Little Girls... Here's a strange one. I can't find much info on it, but it's on the excellent girl group compilation Boys Can Be Mean (2012) where it also credits Betty Everett (of The Shoop Shoop Song). The title makes it seem like it might be a terrifying somber track that plays during a late night ad between SVU episodes about horrible things that happen in our world. Instead we get an energetic uptempo rally cry for the gals to look out for each other and not put up with wack dudes. And the vocals here are absolutely amazing.
Jan Davis - Mystique (1965) Hey there. I found out today that this is the man who provides the iconic shouts on the Dick Dale classic "Miserlou". That alone is pretty awesome but he was also a session musician for The Ventures and other surfy bands as well as having his own solo career. Here's some sweet sounding exotic perfection for a lovely night.
Maximillian - The Twistin' Ghost (1962) Wow. Here's a spooky little track to twist around with. Maximillian (Max Crook) invented the musitron, composed of " a clavioline heavily enhanced with additional resistors, television tubes, and parts from household appliances, old amplifiers, and reel-to-reel tape machines." It sounds awesome.
