YOU HAVE TO ASK?

Ever have one of those trips online, where you stumble onto a site that's so deep in good shit that it's overwhelming? You just have to shut down at some point, bookmark it and then go back to nibble at it over time. Have a handful of those links and you'll have a deep well at your disposal. Obscure good shit on demand. If you're a person of certain age, you know. In the pre-internet days, that's what fiend dreams were made of.

These two sites are exactly what I'm talking about. The first is Boogaloo Time, a rather straightforward photo-with-music blog specializing in sixties music. It's not just boogaloo, it's all the sounds of the decade, primarily those that swang. Click around in the old posts. That's where I ran into the songs below. Believe me, you don't see Earl Van Dyke on many blogs. Bookmark it.

The other site is Motown Junkies. Mind blown. The endeavor there is to catalog and review every Motown 45. Including subsidiary labels. That, obviously, is a huge undertaking, There are reviews with biographical information (including Van Dyke!), and streaming podcasts of Motown radio shows. This rates the coveted "only an idiot wouldn't" bookmark suggestion.
