Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World
Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World is the web's original modcast celebrating the music of the mod lifestyle, as well as mod-influenced music from past eras. You'll hear everything from power pop to rock, soul to ska, acid jazz to lounge, and whatever falls in between. One of the things which has impressed me most in life was the mod movement in England, which was an incredible, youthful thing." -- Pete Townshend, The Who, 1968 Catalogued here are the sights and sounds of mod as I understand it. Much will be familiar to other mods. I realize many narrow-minded people, mods and others, will look at much of this and dismiss it as not truly "mod." So be it. However you view it, I hope you enjoy exploring these sights and sounds as much as I did putting them together.

I'm going under the knife again for another hip replacement. If I can't dance for a while so be it, but I can listen and so can you. Once I'm on the road to recovery I know my ears will be hungry for new tunes, and so will yours. So, I've got sweet and savory for you this week. Nothing too salty, and of course nothing bitter. From sixties influenced, tweeish folk pop to frothy pulse pounding power pop, its a smorgasbord fo...
Cast your mind back to '84 and remember when you used to play hooky from school on a sunny day. If you were like me you had to have some music along for the ride. I liked to concoct my own mix tapes with whatever was musically catching my ear's fancy at the time. Recently I came across notes I'd made with track listings for old mix tapes and this one jumped out to me, and I thought hey why not remix that one for a modcast....
This modcast is so smokin' hot, it's gonna burn your ears off. I mean there are modcasts, and then there are modcasts, if you know what I mean. And this is a modcast. Got it?

Here comes some fun. This modcast is sort of a mini-invitational. A while back I got this crazy idea, what are the faves of my faves? What do some of the bands and artists I love, who I've featured on the modcast in the past, what do *they* love? Here's the first few from Friends of Cesar Romero, The Happy Somethings, and Star Collector, along with some new tunes, and some can't miss blasts from the past.

It is time for my annual faves show where I highlight what I enjoyed from the previous year's smorgasbord of musical offerings. It took me longer than I expected to comb through all of last year's new releases again and try and come up with what were my favorites. Somebody asks you for your favorite band or artist, and you respond immediately. Then a moment later you think well what about so and so? Or what about that one ...
It's Christmas here at Suave HQ which means it's time for another Suave office Christmas party. Joining me once again is DJ Ken. In the past he and I have blown up Christmas, survived Christmas, had Christmas extravaganzas, had rockin', exotica, rat pack, punk, and power pop Christmas shows.
