An Early Clue to the New Direction -- Not!!!

From 1970, please enjoy the incomparable Godfrey Daniel and their hilariously retro take on Sly and the Family Stone's classic "Dance to the Music."




This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the theme of tomorrow's Listomania, BTW. To be honest, I couldn't come up with a musical clue that wasn't a blindingly obvious giveaway, so I'm putting the above up solely for your amusement and mine.

I'll say this, though -- the topic has something to do with some stuff we've discussed here in the last couple of days.

As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who figures it out, and if you get it you're good, I'll tell you that for free.

Oh, and for more on Godfrey Daniel, just click here; it's a pretty interesting story in case you missed it the first time.

Songs inspired by "Quatamass and the Pit"?

Or maybe you're finally doing my "Songs Involving Van Dyke Parks" list?

My "serious" guest: "Power Pop Tunes That Owe Their Existence to Alex Chilton (and That, Hopefully, Piss Off a Certain Bankruptcy Attorney from Pittsburgh)"?

Whatever the answer is, I hope it doesn't involve Billy Joel...

You guys are a riot.

It's actually fairly obvious, but hopefully fun.
Anonymous is the closest, oddly.

Why do you hate Van Dyke Parks???
