Garage Rock Radio
YouTube Stars! (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009

This website - Garage Rock Radio - has MP3s and podcasts of 60s Garage Rock tunes and I Love them all! Now they have a Record Label - Garage Rock Radio...

The most interesting point is that originally, the folks were not shown dancing with Death himself (la Mort), but with the dead version of themselves (le mort). That’s a considerably more intimate dance, eh? There’s even a creepy medieval version of [...]
