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.
