No Title The Great Society - Love You Girl Many thanks to the lads in MGMT for peeling this one off in their Late Night Tale . The melody keeps bringing me back to the "Smiling faces, I can see" part of As Tears Go By (also from '64/'65)... coincidence? Written and sung by David Miner. Recorded October–December 1965, Golden State Recorders, San Francisco, California.

No Title Joe Dassin - Le Jardin de Luxembourg Salut les Amoureux "Like many Russians, Olga adored Joe Dassin, especially the songs on his last album, with their resigned, lucid melancholy.

No Title Improved Sound Limited - Nine Feet Over the Tarmac Suicide Road With a tip of the hat to my brother , here are two songs by Improved Sound Limited from Wim Wender's 1976 movie Kings of the Road .

No Title Stephen Stills - Midnight in Paris From 1976's not very good Illegal Stills , here's a track written by Donnie Dacus and Stills's wife at the time, Veronique Sanson. Listen as Stephen Stills sings in French. Wonder about the debt Woody Allen owes to this album. Midnight in Paris? And does Stephen Stills bear a little more than a passing resemblance to a certain Wilson brother? Just sayin'.
