Dance crazes were all the rage in the 60s, from the Hop Scotch to every jungle creature or barnyard animal imaginable. We have a few odd ones featured on this episode. Your typical addict / dealer banter is also at the rendezvous.

What happens when three vinyl addicts with no sleep end up in front of microphones? Two and half hours of pandemonium, mayhem, stupid inside jokes, laughter and some great 60s records.

Parka Pat, Mod Marty and Al aka Sweet Daddy Soul recount the highs and lows of the 2023 edition of MODtreal. You've been warned. Available here or from your favorite podcast app.

Our addict Patrick just touched down from 2 weeks spent in Spain and will regale you with tales of his adventures. He brought back from a few records with him but he still has space in his DJ box and our dealer Ben is happy to provide him with some choice platters. 60s RnB, Garage and Psych is on the menu.

Every time the dealer and the addict meet, they are continuously amazed at how much solid 60s music is still out there, yet to be discovered. Pounding Northern Soul, French Ye-Ye, filthy raw RnB is ready to be unearthed.

Special episode! Your two favorite addicts are reunited once again. Mod Marty and Parka Pat are back from another intense weekend of record digging and DJing in Toronto. Hear of all their wild tales of debauchery and mayhem.

Our dealer Ben may have tied the knot but that doesn't slow him down from finding incredible records. He recently put his hands on a collection that came directly from a Detroit radio station. Any gems in there for our addict Pat?

For the first on this show, our dealer and our addict are going to spin a 45 that they have never heard before. A true mystery record. Nothing is know about the band, the song or the label. The world wide web offers no info. Curious? Just press play!

Our vinyl junkie Patrick will need to take on a third job to pay for his out of control addiction. He's working out a payment plan for this huge Northern Soul anthem our dealer Ben has offered him. Pat has also put his hands on a seminal (and we don't use this word lightly) Garage bomb.

Our addict Patrick found his salvation in a few choice records our dealer Ben provided. From Spain to Barbados with some layovers in Detroit and Memphis, our duo take a musical journey far and wide.
