On Target episodes

October 11, 2020 284. The Peppermint Beatle
Blues, R&B and Rock n’ Roll top this musical trifle with layers of rich beats and jagged pills. Garage and pop balance the sweet with the sour while the yearning and longing of the broken hearts put to uplifting, exciting and driving dance music make this a a trifle not to be trifled with. Dig in!
