Modcast #535: In Depth With Timothy Cameron

Here we go with a great convo with Timnothy Cameron, Canadian power poppin', singer, songwriter aka T.C. Folkpunk, aka Caremonoise. We get into it pretty deep podering things like can a band have home field advantage? What's it like to retool your own music? What TV show did Timothy audition for? And what movie was he actually cast in? Listen in and be sure to check out his music on Bandcamp. Speaking of which, if you're a fan of the music on this show you will definitely dig all of his albums.

His music is straight ahead power poppin rock and roll, sixties influenced with hints and echoes of power pop down through the ages. Songs like Here Crumbles The Bride, a great early rock and roll sounding, Kinksish sort of stomper. And Caution Tape, a very Whoish track with a definite early Pete Townshend feel to it. The last couple of years though Timothy has been recording and playing as Cameronoise, and interestingly he's taken many of his T.C. Folkpunk songs and retooled them with a full band, adding additional instrumentation and dropping the lyrics to make them all instrumentals. There's a bit of a mod jazz vibe to some, but others rock pretty hard. Described as "Booker T & The MGs meet The Smithereens in Paul McCartney's attic", and I have to say that is spot on.

Modcast #528: Mr. Suave's Faves of 2022

Here it is, my annual taster's choice of 2022's most mod friendly sounds. From soul to ska to garage and power pop, 2022 delivered some cool music. This show could easily have been three hours long, but rather than just listing everything I stubbed my ear on over the year I really try to hard to narrow it down to the what in my opinion is the very best of the year. Not an easy task, and I'm not sure I didn't miss some essentials. But I tried, and now you can enjoy and let me know what you think of my selections.
