It\'s all smack and tackle thanks to this being Superbowl weekend. The food is great, but I\'m not one for the game myself. I\'d much rather sitdown and listen to some great garage rock, or some swingin\' lounge music. Or, I could mix up a modcast of epic proportions.

Flashback to 1984, and to 1967, and to 1978, and even just back to \'02. Flashbacks are great aren\'t they? So are the tracks on this week\'s modcast. Okay, maybe not epic, but pretty damn good none the less. Got a couple of new things to serve up for you: some power pop from The Wishes, and some very excellent mod R&B courtesy of Invisible Lead Soup. And there\'s a few nice gems here that I blew the dust off of which I think you\'ll dig from The Standells, the Sidewalks and not the least of which is a great little song from power pop composer Gary Valentine who, sadly, has never received the accolades he\'s due.

Get thee over to the modcast homepage and check out the show, as well as the bonus videos and other goodies!
