Off to Gomorrah on the Hudson for yet another mysterious assignation. In the meantime, from 1967, here's the great and sadly underrated first generation San Francisco band The Sopwith Camel and "Hello Hello."
Seriously, these guys brand of slightly whimsical folk rock was flat out wonderful; get yourself over to their official website, click on the music link and listen to beautifully produced (by Lovin' Spoonful/Chris Isaak auteur Erik Jacobsen) period confections like "Postcard from Jamaica" or "Cellophane Woman" right now -- you won't regret it.
Of course, as is customary, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to Friday's Weekend Listomania.
