“FEVER” is a celebration of the songs and singers that changed the course of sexual expression for women. It is a tribute to the courage, the sensuality, and the empowered approach of these groundbreaking women.

Best of Charleston finalists

boc15 For the second year in a row, MOD Love, Kinetic Hifi, and MOD Love’s co-hosts, Steven Cardinal and Jodi Riley, have been named finalists in Charleston City Paper’s Best of Charleston awards. Jodi, with a little help from a friend, put together a helpful little video to tell you where to vote and how to find us.
