On Target

https://ontargetpodcast.ca

Mod Marty’s got the records, the instincts, and a weakness for a tune with a bit of bite. This week on On Target, the ’60s and ’70s collide in a heady mix of mod, Northern Soul, R&B, and roots reggae, with tough rhythms, brassy flourishes, and just the right amount of grit. These are sounds built to shake a room, snap a few fingers, and put a little strut in your step. Tune in and get yourself On Target.

Some records have manners; others kick the door open and make themselves at home. This week on On Target, Mod Marty gives the ’60s plenty of room to misbehave, with soul, R&B, mod, and psych bringing their own brand of attitude to the proceedings. It’s a collection with character, a few rough edges, and absolutely no interest in behaving itself. Just the way we like it.

Forget the straight line—this week On Target takes the long way around. Mod Marty pulls together a beautifully unruly collection of ’60s and ’70s sounds, where sweet soul can crash into dirty R&B, sharp mod cuts, and anything else that earns a place on the turntable. Strap in, drop the needle, and enjoy the detour.

No, we haven’t sacrificed a goat, but it’s absolute carnage on On Target this week. There are horns and organs everywhere as Mod Marty lets the vinyl run completely wild, tearing through soul, R&B, mod, and rock with barely a moment to catch your breath. Fuzz guitars are flying, drums are smoking, and somehow, amid all the mayhem, the whole thing locks into place. Consider yourself warned.
