Come for the ear candy that is “Venus“—stick around for the pop trash goodness of “Hot Sand.” (Is that a sitar I hear? Yes, yes it is). Culled from a 7″ vinyl rip of early 70s Dutch rock weirdos, Shocking Blue.

1 | jesselun February 7th, 2011 at 7:45 amdunno if it’s the same in the states but the song Venus (different version) is used in a god awful razor advert over here in the UK and is now unfortunately forever tarnished for me!
2 | dan February 7th, 2011 at 8:57 amYeah, they use it in women’s razor blade ads over here to. Different version, but still tarnished
3 | Cody February 7th, 2011 at 9:21 amI haven’t heard Hot Sand since I found my mother’s magic box of 45′s in my grandparents basement. The Everly Bros., Little Eva, The Kinks “Victoria”, Johnny Horton, Bob Seger System. A very special day indeed. Thanks for helping me remember!
