1967: A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

It's been a while since I posted up a Spotify playlist, so I thought I'd follow up the ones I've already posted for 1968-1971 with a playlist for 1967, which is still maybe the most famous year in music history. Home to many of my favourite albums of all-time, the year has much more to offer than just the summer of love. And remember, Spotify doesn't have everything, but if you think I should know about a band or album from '67, then please let me know! Stick it on shuffle, sit back and enjoy. Listen here.

CLASSIC SCENES: Mean Streets (1973)

I decided I'd start a weekly (read: whenever I feel like it!) entry on my blog of classic film scenes involving music. The first entry is going to be 2 scenes from Mean Streets, both involving songs by The Rolling Stones. Both scenes also involve entrances into bars and are too cool for words. If you've never seen the film, go buy it now! It's a must for De Niro fans, a must for Scorsese fans and a must for any fans of the 70s.

The soundtrack is also well worth checking out and contains some excellent choices.

SONG/VIDEO OF THE WEEK: The Rolling Stones - Sweet Virginia

I LOVE THIS SONG! I'll never get bored of this song or 'Exile on Main St.' for that matter! A perfect song.
