Uwe's got a stack of hot newly dug vintage 45 rpm records to spin, and James brought his club night DJ boxes to play some favorites, and a few he forgot what they sound like! We talk about records that got picked up from their local independent releases and got a chance to make it big on a national release, touch on Shel Talmy's legacy of 1960s British and American tunes, and spin one of our favorite Louisville garage rock/proto-punk tunes. It's another 2 hour 1960s Mod, soul, Northern Soul R&B, garage rock dance party!

Uwe wasn't available for this episode, so Adrian Cardwell of Cardwell's Cove strapped into the second seat and took us on a quick flyover of the Cove. This show was part of WXOX's celebration of Vinylthon, where we played 59 hours in a row of all-vinyl tunes. Along with the usual 1960s soul, R&B, garage rock, and Mod dance tunes you expect from That Driving Beat, you'll hear some tiki-lounge-appropriate jazz, exotica, and more cocktail-friendly tunes that fall into that small overlapping area between our two shows! You can find Cardwell's Cove on most podcast apps.

The guys have been checking out some B-sides this week, finding a few treasures hidden on the flips of hit records they didn't know (or had forgotten) about. They've both still got some recent finds that hadn't got a spin on the show yet, and some forgotten favorites dug out of the far reaches of their record vaults. It's another 2 action-packed hours of 1960 (and quite a few 1950s) R&B, Soul, Popcorn, and Mod dance tunes!

James has spent another week going through the unsorted boxes of records piling up in his collection and found some great overlooked tunes. Uwe hasn't had a chance to get out and dig for new finds lately, so he's been checking out his collection for forgotten favorites. Here's another two hour dance party of 1960s soul, rhythm & blues, rock & roll, pop, and a few outliers. WARNING! James slipped an LP track onto the usual 45-exclusive dance floor! Prepare yourself!!

Uwe and James both spin a whole show of just recent finds on their recent road trip to Nashville. We had some great luck hunting in the record stores, flea markets, antique malls, and anywhere else we thought might be hiding interesting old 45s. It's a random mix of late 1950s through early 1970s rhythm & blues, northern soul, girl groups, jump blues, funk, pop, surf, budget-label soundalikes, and even a sneering slab of 1960s punky garage.

Two more hours of hip-shaking, foot-stomping, floor-filling soul and R&B from the 1960s! We play one genre-bending cover of a tune from a West End musical that barely escaped the vaults, recorded in 1967 and only getting its vinyl release in 2017!

It's two more hours of rare soul and R&B dancers on original vinyl singles from the 1960s! We play (probably) Uwe's favorite version of "Harlem Shuffle", a soul group we know next to nothing about on a small label from Des Moines, Iowa, and a great Mod instrumental shaker record with several lies on the label. We've got a song that will make you hungry, one with some R&B nonsense about Muhammad Ali, and dozens that will make you want to dance!

James did the usual thing and carried a box of 1960s 45 rpm singles down to the studio. You'll hear Barbara McNair and Barbara Acklin, Marvin Gaye, some popcorn R&B by Marie Knight, British tunes by The Pretty Things, the Honeycombs, and even Peter Cook and Dudley Moore on the right turntable.
Uwe went weird, and brought ONLY LPs! We almost never play LPs! He runs the left turntable at 33 rpm and gives you The Last Shadow Puppets, Georgie Fame, Bob Kuban & The In-Men, Stone Foundation, rare early Bowie, Mod Revival, the Specials, and more.
Tune in now for a variable speed That Driving Beat!

We forgot how to work the studio for a bit at the beginning of this one. We've only been doing this for over 5 years, after all. In spite of all that, we've got 2 more hot hours of upbeat Soul, R&B, and Mod dancers, all from the 1960s or thereabouts, all on original vinyl 45 rpm singles! Uwe promises a mellow time, but ends up pulling a lot of pounding soul movers out of his box. James dug a few Midnight Hour Sound System oldies out of his collection, tunes that we played a lot in the early days of our collecting and DJing that have fallen off our playlists as we've picked up new-to-us old vinyl.

James bought some records out of a school bus, and Uwe brings in a few non-English language things. We discuss whether these records are antiques, or just old.

It's another 2 hour radio dance party of 60s soul, R&B, and Mod tunes, all on 45 rpm vinyl!

It's a swinging mod dance party tonight, with classics by Googie Rene Combo, Etta James, Mable John, The Tempests, Mary Wells, Chuck Jackson Darrell Banks, plus a super-rare primitive garage rocker by the Customs Five that James never dreamed he'd find in a box of junk in an Indiana flea market (thanks to the In The Past Garage Rock Podcast for introducing me to the song).

James and Uwe are back with another radio soul dance party! Uwe sneaks some 70s tunes into the studio, there are more of those French-Canadian Mod gems we started playing last week, and James finally picks up a copy of a Barbara Acklin classic that should have been in his box years ago from an Indiana antique store!

James and Uwe are back from the Keystone Soul Weekender in Pennsylvania with a pile of new old records to spin, including some 1960s French-Canadian Mod tunes from Montreal's Parka Pat! That's right, you get to hear an Austrian and a Kentuckian raised in England try to pronounce French things!

We just moved our upload of our weekly soul radio show over from Mixcloud to this podcast! This is episode 237 of the radio show, episode 1 as a podcast.
It's another Sunday night dance party, with 2 packed hours of soul and R&B. There's a few British tunes in the mix tonight, along with Garnet Mimms, Tony Clarke, Anna King, Otis Redding, Brice Coefield, Lloyd Price, and that 60s Gary US Bonds stormer that somehow never got pressed to vinyl until the 80s! Plus, James plays a record that wants to be in his collection but that he's not sure about.
