Not Your Father's Dinner Party

We love Ella and Frank too but here's a collection of tunes fit for a couples' event that won't make you feel like you're channeling your distant relatives. In other words, a swirling psych-pop classic by Tommy James and the Shondells, a get-out-of-your-head ditty by Stephin Merritt and haunting melodies by Grizzly Bear all compliment a playlist designed for a soiree where most anything can happen.
