In today's world what is suave?
Suave is what you make it. In my mod world things are suave because I make them that way.
One of the things which has impressed me most in life was the mod movement in England, which was an incredible, youthful thing." -- Pete Townshend, The Who, 1968 Mr. Suave's Mod, Mod World is a podcast celebrating mod music, and mod-influenced music from past eras.
Catalogued here are the sights and sounds of mod as I understand it. Much will be familiar to other mods. I realize many narrow-minded people, mods and others, will look at much of this and dismiss it as not truly "mod." So be it.
However you view it, I hope you enjoy exploring these sights and sounds as much as I did putting them together.
Music
Power pop, punk, soul, ska, mod-revival, new wave, sixties, garage, brit pop, lounge, jazz, acid jazz, exotica, anything retro cool.
Movies
Quadrophenia of course. Idiocracy, Lars & The Real Girl, No Country for Old Men, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Great Escape, A Clockwork Orange, Swingers, Departed, Wedding Crashers, Old School, Spinal Tap, The Wild One, Catch Me if you Can

Hi -we wanted to let you know of a few important things happening in our little world.

Copies of this single will be available on SEPT 26 which is also the date of a big London show we are playing @ Crossfire (held inside 229 The Venue in Gt Portland St opposite Regent's Park) to celebrate the forthcoming launch of our debut album "SIX AGAINST EIGHT."
The show features an enlarged band with special guests and shouldn't be missed - an all-nighter follows our gig with DJs from across Europe.... The album is produced by Donald Ross Skinner (Julian Cope etc) & features 14 original tunes - it will be available as a CD (see www.dcfontana.com) and as downloads. Our next Birmingham gig is this Saturday SEPT 12 @ The Sound Bar +support:
On Sunday SEPT 13 we also play @ Bullit in Tamworth and on WEDS SEPT 30 we are @ The Underbelly in London playing with the legendary Damo Suzuki (Can). Please stay in touch and look out for the records and the gigs!
