This is Modcast #563, Mr. Suave's Twistin' Summer Punk Party, and it is packed I tell you, absolutely packed with the best songs of the moment. Lots of new music coming your way, plus some diamond geezers.
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 for your ears. (BTW Get Hip ! originally broadcast 2016 is available here.)

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. And here it is.

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 song? And suddenly trying to pick the very best overall is pretty much impossible. It's hard to narrow it down, but I've tried. I let my ears do the pickin, and now I'll let you do the judgin'.
