What is Mod? Mr. Suave's Mod, Mod World is one of the web's original modcasts celebrating mod music, and mod-influenced music from past eras including soul, ska, garage, sixties R&B power pop, punk, britpop, acid jazz, lounge, easy listening and more.
Record collector and Mod DJ extraordinaire, Parka Pat the man from the Parka Avenue Blog and the Addicted to the Needle podcast, brings some of his rare 45's to the modcast. Specifically, he's sharing some great cover versions of classic tracks. And, as a special bonus for the modcast faithful he brings us an exclusive, a 45 single that isn't available to listen to anywhere else. Big thanks for that! Join us as we talk about record collecting, DJing, scooter trips and all things mod. (Cover photo courtesy of Patrick Foisy)

I remember seeing this great, but crazy, documentary when it premiered at EMP here in Seattle, juast as it was first released back in 2000. There's a point where they talk bout a CD collection and I remember thinking to myself, I think he means OCD collection.
