Modcast #68: They’ll Do Your Drugs & Your Boyfriend

.. Modcast 68: They’ll Do Your Drugs & Your Boyfriend

Welcome to another episode of Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World. It is now safe to say that at long last Mr. Suave is gettin' some ass. Assrock that is. That's right, the Mod World has gone into pseudo syndication over at the Association of Rock and Roll Podcasts, at assrofrock.com. So now they're are even more ways to get your mod on. In putting this show together it turned out by chance that a great number of the bands are either girl-groups in total or at least fronted by women -- Blondie, Elastica, Four King Cousins, The Holograms, The 75s, PP Arnold, and The Raveonettes. So you know it's going to be a great show with that much estrogen!

You are now tuning into the original, best, longest running modcast on the web. This is modcast 67 featuring a few new releases, as well as some classic tracks right from wax. From the Tri-Cities in Eastern Washington, to the Netherlands, from New Orleans to Sweden, I've scoured the globe and come up with a terrific bunch of mod friendly sounds for this week's show.

Modcast #65: Smokin’ Skunk on the 13th Floor

.. Modcast #65: Smokin’ Skunk on the 13th Floor

Welcome to yet another modcast, and yet another set of great music any mod should dig. I've got a great set this week with bands like The Itch, the Buzzcocks, the Untouchables, Agent Orange, and The Swear. That would be the London based Swear, not the rock band by the same name hailing from Atlanta. The Swear look to have broken up, which is too bad since I just discovered them recently and they have a really cool sound. In fact, the title of this week's podcast is a great line from the song I've included, High Rise. Also you'll want to check out the video on the modcast homepage. It's an interview with long time mod scenesters The Itch, and includes a pub performance, as well.

As usual if you want to rant or rave drop me an e-mail at rob@mistersuave.com.

Modcast #64: My Business, Your Pleasure

.. Modcast #64: My Business, Your Pleasure

Welcome modsters one and all. I think this show is especially good. You know how sometimes you just know something works, something clicks, something fits like a glove. That's this modcast. And that's a good sign. A sign that things are getting back to the way they should be, with me posting a new show every week, instead of only every so often as has happened this past summer. But, no more, I'm back and I've got lots of good stuff, like the latest from the Modfather, "This Old Town" (it even sounds like a Jam title doesn't it?), some soulful sounds from Smokey, and some floor shakers from the likes of The Moog, Schocking Blue, and the Walnut Dash.



I am curious to know what people think of The Selecter cover of Do Nothing. E-mail me at rob@mistersuave.com and let me know if you like it or not. Is it mustard or pants?

  • Paul Weller & Graham Coxon -- This Old Town
  • The Selecter - Do Nothing (Myspace)
  • The Robustos -- My Heart & Soul(Myspace)
  • Smokey Robinson & The Miracles -- My Business Your Pleasure
  • The Frantic V -- Good Lovin'(Myspace)
  • The Gear -- Eight Arms To Hold You (Myspace)
  • The Moog -- I Like You (Myspace)
  • Beau Brummels - Just a Little
  • The Zombies -- Time of the Season
  • Shocking Blue -- Send Me A Postcard
  • Walnut Dash -- Just Feel (Myspace)

Bonus Video: Beau Brummels -- Woman







Bonus Video: The Moog -- I Like You








Enjoy!

Modcast #63: Mod for the Summer

Welcome to Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World, I opened today's show with a track from a band called Airborne Toxic Event, and even though they're out of Los Angeles man they sound a lot like a british band with obvious influence from Franz Ferdinand and the Fratellis. The rest of the show is equally as good. I think there is pretty much something for everyone here -- except for the Def Leppard crowd (you know who you are, now leave me alone and learn to like better music).
