Welcome to Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World, and a midweek modcast. This week I'm dusting off the record crates, delving into the modern mod's record collection and digging out some of the best tracks of the 21st century. The turn of the century brought us a new wave of garage bands updating the garage rock sounds of past eras for a whole new legion of fans. It also ushered in a second wave -- or maybethird wave depending on who you talk to -- of Britpop influenced bands, many of whome weren't even British. Throughout the first decade of this century the momentum of good music has been maintained and there are scores of bands out there that I could have highlighted in this show. I picked just a few, all bands with tracks that I think are worth keeping in your hip pocket. Any mod collection would be well served by their inclusion.
