No one is united, And all things are untied, poetic lines that emotionally personalize the political, are the opening lines of X's The World's a Mess, It's in My Kiss and now this Modcast #583: The Decline of Western Civilization Contd. As poignant now as they were in 1980 when written by Exene Cervenka and John Doe of X. Now, they again resonate with what is happening in the world. Happy birthday America, such as it is.

James went and sweated in a barn full of stuff hoping to turn up some amazing rare record finds... and didn't have much luck! Oh well, there were a few worthwhile things there, and you'll never find the grails if you don't get out there and dig for them! You'll hear some rare R&B shakers, popcorn steppers, Northern-Soul-starter-kit staples, a comparison between two versions of "I Keep Forgettin", and a set of heavy, heavy psych and rock shakers, including an angry, righteous, blistering anti-war protest song from a source you might not expect. -Originally broadcast June 29, 2025- Willie Mitchell / That Driving BeatInez Foxx / Broken Hearted FoolDobie Gray / Out on the FloorLarry Williams & Johnny Watson / A Quitter Never WinsThe 4 Seasons / Beggin'Abraham & his Sons / Your Mother UnderstoodThe Dells / Wear It on Our FaceJames & Bobby Purify / Help Yourself (To All of My Lovin)The Tams / I've Been HurtBen E.

Northern Soul all the way on tonight's show
Label: Buddah 507 djYear: 1975Condition: M-Price: $15.00Stereo/Mono promo copy. Was there ever a better instrumental buildup to the climactic opening of this song? Not many, if any... check out the mp3 "snippet" of it. By the way, this is definitely more in the Northern Soul style than in a Disco style, but somehow it's never become a huge hit in that scene. The wonderful B side instrumental is more of a Disco track. This hit version is specially edited from a 3:54 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Buddah Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and vinyl (styrene), and pristine Mint sound! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

We're going up north – or actually, the north is coming down south to Bristol. You've probably clocked by now that there's been a massive Northern Soul revival in the city, so we thought we'd unpack what it's all about.This week, Neil talks to Levanna McLean and her mum, Eve Arslett. It started when Levanna began doing Northern Soul dances during lockdown. Her mum filmed it, they pushed it out on socials and it blew up. They've featured everywhere: from BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour to the New York Times.They then set up the Bristol Northern Soul club night. It kicked off at The Assembly in Old Market and has recently moved to the Eastville Social Club – an historic working men's club in an Ikea car park.So, why is a scene that started in the sixties taking off in Bristol now with a whole new generation? We try and unpack all of this...Bristol Northern Soul on HeadfirstLevanna McLean

Another week, another great modcast coming your way. I'm, kicking off the show with an American 60s band that sounds almost more mod than the British mods of their day. The band is Powder and I included them this week in part because this coming Saturday I'm going to get to meet them when they play at the Studio 66 mod night at the LoFi Performance Gallery here in Seattle, and lucky me I'm going to be the guest DJ. Another thing that is making this week's show especially good is that I'm joined by my old friend Dean Hoth who is the singer and bass player for power pop band The Eddies. Additionally Dean has been a behind the scenes mover and shaker in producing some great tribute albums, and is also working on releasing unheard live materials of older mod bands from the 80s to the 90s to the 21st century. He's got some news for mod music lovers. Get on over to the modcast homepage for more info and links from Dean and a complete track list for the show.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Elliot James Reay over Zoom video!23-year-old singer, guitarist, and songwriter Elliot James Reay returns with the irrepressibly upbeat new single, “Who Knew Dancing Was A Sin.” The soulful cut is built on an old school premise: Reay's partner fears he's been unfaithful when really he was just out dancing the night away. The song's music video brings that scenario to life and pays homage to the Northern Soul dancing scene still thriving in Reay's hometown of Manchester, UK. “Who Knew Dancing Was A Sin” is available now at via Interscope / Island EMI.For his fourth song to date, Reay reunites with writer-producer duo SOAP (Manchester's Josh Noble and Karl Ziegler) alongside fellow cowriters Annielle Lisiuk and Glen Roberts. With deep bass groove, sharp guitar stabs, jangling tambourine, and driving drums, “Who Knew Dancing Was A Sin” is itself a powerful enticement to dance. Horns and strings only add to the urgency as Reay growls, quavers, and coos out his passion for movement: “It's a shame she doesn't get it, a shame she doesn't see / It don't make me a traitor and it don't make me cheat / You can try to stop the music, but you can't stop my feet / Just give me a bourbon, a bass line, and a beat.”The music video for “Who Knew Dancing Was A Sin” finds Reay in the hot seat after he comes home late. He's suited up and visibly disheveled as a nightgown-wearing woman gives him a piece of her mind. Through thrilling flashbacks, though, we see the truth as Reay cuts a rug amidst a group of passionate dancers kicking, spinning, and shuffling in a red-curtained club.Reay's new tune further leans into the young artist's loving embrace of '50s and '60s music, and follows March's “Daydreaming,” a swooning single infused with cinematic grandeur and eerie longing. Before that came the upbeat and stylish “Boy in Love,” with a video shot on the streets of his hometown, and the massive breakthrough “I Think They Call This Love,” which enthralled millions around the globe with Reay's refreshing revival of a classic rock 'n' roll sound.Influenced from an early age by artists like Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley, Reay now channels that pioneering era of culture into his music to incredible effect. A truly sensational debut, “I Think They Call This Love” has amassed over 150 million global streams, earned 400 million views across 120,000+ TikTok creates, climbed Spotify Viral Charts in over 27 countries, and helped Reay build a loyal fanbase of more than 5 million followers. The song also marked the arrival of a fascinating new talent who, clearly, has much more to share.ABOUT ELLIOT JAMES REAY:Elliot James Reay has a genuine, lifelong love for not just the music of the '50s but the entire era and he has the voice, look, and magnetism to seemingly transport his fans back in time. But a close listen to his intoxicating forays into doo-wop and rockabilly reveals decade-hopping flourishes, knowing nods, and the occasional bent melody or distorted peel of guitar that would've caused uproar in Billy Fury's Day. Instead — and despite those who told him he'd need to change his sound to succeed — Elliot's grown a huge fan base via modern means, organically amassing over 4.7 million followers and hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.Reay grew up listening to all kinds of music in the town of Bury, outside of Manchester, but he was drawn to the old stuff from an early age and took it farther than most, thrifting for vintage clothes and busking the town center as a teen. As the crowds grew, so did his confidence, and after earning more than £2,000 in a single day fundraising in the wake of the 2017 Manchester tragedy, Elliot realized the power he had to reach others. He was only 15 years old back then, and ever since he's been working on bringing his velveteen voice to an expanding audience whose appreciation for his music transcends generations, time zones and, yes — to see his fans' comments about his work — quite possibly time itself.We want to hear from you!

What can I say about the Small Faces that hasn't already been said? Not much honestly. I'm not a Small Faces junky. But I do love their music. In fact, in my earliest mod days I think I preferred them to The Who. It's been said that The Who was a band that became mods, but the Small Faces were mods who became a band. I was looking for some covers of Small Faces songs when I realized how few there really are out there. Compared to the hundreds of covers of The Who, The Kinks, The Stones and other British invasion acts of the 60s, I was shocked at just how few people have covered their songs over the years. And amongst those, fewer still ones that are really any good. I've gathered here a double handful that I think fit the bill and do the group justice.

For this installment of STARK REALITY, Episode 75, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange rolls the tattered red carpet to Northern Spain to have a chat with selector and 45 digger NANCY YAHIRO. She is a native of Southern California and first started DJing punk and soul at her college’s radio station (KUCI) in 1985. Nancy became increasingly obsessed with soul 45s and started selling duplicates and becoming a record dealer. In 1997 Nancy started the Golden State Soul Society with Cid Hernandez and continued running it with Gabby Beeby until she moved to Italy. In Italy, Nancy started the Rimini Rare Soul Weekender and lived there for 11 years, DJed all over the country. She has also played records in the US, Argentina, UK, Germany, Spain, Sweden, etc etc. Jim first met Nancy as a wee lad in the late 80s in the Southern California Mod/Ska scene, and the last time he saw her in person was in the early 90s digging for records in San Francisco. In recent years he reconnected with her online, and she has been very vocal about the genocide in Gaza, which he gives her a lot of credit for. They talk about the deafening silence from fellow music collectors and DJs on this genocide, media propaganda and whitewashing, the apathy of the world, the heroism of Yemen, the narcissism and ignorance of liberals, etc etc. With the genocide only getting worse after 19 months they are mostly talking about this instead of music. but don't fret, Nancy gives us a slamming playlist of Northern Soul, RnB, Funk, a little Hip Hop too. She has very deep crates as to be expected after digging and DJing for so many years. Recorded April 25, 2025. To hear Nancy's exclusive Stark Reality Playlist, featuring tracks by Grady Tate, Edwin Starr, Irma Thomas, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Clarence Carter, Gangstarr and much more, go to Episode 76 of Stark Reality on jasoncharles.net Music Channel, or wherever you get your music podcasts.

Good luck trying to get a definitive answer to what mod jazz is. It's like the famous comment by US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart when asked to define what obscenity is: "I know it when I see it." Well that's me with mod jazz folks, I know it when I hear it. Maybe soul jazz is a better shorthand term, this music certainly has a lot of soul to it. All I can do is play the music for you and let you be swept away by it.
