Groovy~

I love 60's music. Very much. I started out listening to a lot of ye-ye ,which is 60s French pop, and it is incredibly addictive! I guess the fascination with this music started a few years ago, maybe in 07-08ish time period. I was really interested in the French language and as I delved more and more into it I started to wonder what French music sounded like so I went ahead and started researching popular French acts. I came across many, many mainstream current acts and I was pretty impressed I suppose since I continued listening to these singers. I remember Alizee and Emilie Simon were on heavy rotation. Then one day, I stumbled upon ye-ye and it was love at first listen. I went mad on a ye-ye downloading spree! I remember downloading a crap load of Sylvie Vartan, Francoise Hardy, and countless ye-ye acts! Francoise Hardy is now, of course, one of my favorite singer of all time. So after that I began listening to more 60s pop acts such as the famous Girl Groups of the 60s, which I still love of course! Then of course the Beatles came into play :)
So since then, I every so often go on 60s downloading sprees and discover more great acts to love!

Most recently I downloaded an album called "Nippon Girls" which is a compilation of Japanese 60s pop acts and I am really in love with it! I especially love foreign 60s acts so discovering this album was a special treat! I also discovered some Thai 60s and I finally found it!! So I'm excited to actually own it as I've only heard samples of it on Amazon! (I use the 2nd volumes cover because I love it hehe)

Along with loving these 60s acts comes my love for 60s fashion. Mini skirts and go-go boots? LOVE! Plus I love big hair and loads of eyeliner so this is also a plus! I really need to re-vamp my style because I've been in such a slump over the past few years and I think I found a style I can really relate to! I guess we'll see what happens. I know it sounds incredibly pretentious but I really believe I should have been my age now in the 60s!

Amazing album!
