What is Mod? Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World is the web's original modcast celebrating mod-influenced music from past eras including #mod #powerpop #punkrock #garagerock #northernsoul #britpop #acidjazz #lounge #exotica #ska #modrevival & more. Featuring over 500 mod friendly music mixes since 2006.

All music, no annoying chatter! A way back when, every year I would crank it up at our annual holiday hootenannies. Then eventually posting the track list online, and generally spreading the cheer. And every year people would beg me to burn them a copy. I even burned dozens of CDs as Christmas gifts in 2000. Seems that people really dig it because of the wide variety of Christmas music; it's got everything from Combustible Edison to Frank Sinatra, from the most excellent holiday special ever The Year Without a Santa Claus to the Waitresses, to Bing, Ella, Burt and lots more. I revised and expanded it for the modcast back in 2007.

Oh and stay tuned for a new Christmas modcast coming Sunday, Dec. 22!  Happy Krimble!

It wouldn't be the mod world without some serious snarling, fuzzy guitaring, drum smashing, maraca shaking, loud and snotty music. I've got all that and more lined up for you from the classics of the sixties, the revivalists of the 80s, and some brand new garage sounds.
