Episode 84: Addicted to the Needle - Episode 84 - Garage Meets Soul
Here at Addicted to the Needle, we like to spin obscure tracks that you may have never heard before. But we don't just play music. We tell the stories behind the music. How about the story of a Canadian DJ who went to Jamaica in 1971 with Johnny Nash and got so high with Bob Marley that he started talking to his dead relatives. That's the ATTN commitment.
