    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.
