On Target

https://ontargetpodcast.caThis week, Mod Mar­ty attempts to unrav­el the mys­tery of the elu­sive Phast Phred­die The Booga­loo Omnibus – the cool cat who start­ed L.A.‘s BACK DOOR MAN mag in ​’75, set­ting the stage for punk and new wave in the late ​’70s. Phred­die’s writ­ten for SLASH, LA WEEK­LY, NEW YORK ROCK­ER, ROCK SCENE, and even BILL­BOARD. He’s done it all – man­aged acts, wrote songs, sang in a band. He’s a poet, painter, and a con­nois­seur of fine ​’60s soul records. Total legend!-----------------------------------------------The playlist is:"Pizza Sure Is Good"Dick & Libby Halleman- Summit"The Jerk"The Wailers- Island"Good Times"The Nomads- Parlophone"Mexico 70"Dámaso Pérez Prado- Orfeon"Scratchy"Travis Wammack- Ara"She's Not There"Neil MacArthur- Deram
