They still have plenty of stories to recount; some about records they added to their collection, some about the wonderful people they met along the way and a few about the tasty food they ingested. Sprinkled through their tales are the unmistakable vinyl bombs they picked up.

This week, Mod Mar­ty attempts to unrav­el the mys­tery of the elu­sive Phast Phred­die The Booga­loo Omnibus – the cool cat who start­ed L.A.‘s BACK DOOR MAN mag in ​’75, set­ting the stage for punk and new wave in the late ​’70s. Phred­die’s writ­ten for SLASH, LA WEEK­LY, NEW YORK ROCK­ER, ROCK SCENE, and even BILL­BOARD. He’s done it all – man­aged acts, wrote songs, sang in a band. He’s a poet, painter, and a con­nois­seur of fine ​’60s soul records. Total legend!
