Segue suggestion XIII

Usually, only noncommercial stations can pull off this kind of across-the-decades segue.  I'm not sure if anyone has ever paired these songs, but to my ears, "Daydream Believer" by The Monkees would flow well into Yo La Tengo's "I Can Feel The Ice Melting."  Lyrically and rhythmically, both songs share an earnest optimism, proving that certain sentiments that were valid in 1967 were also at home in 2015.
