About Me


Mr. Suave's Modcast
Click and give it a listen.
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.
SuperScoot 1985 -- Scooterville, Anaheim to Lake Elsinore
Music by The Question, "Brand New World"
Back in the day, in the early 80s in So. Cal, Superscoot was the rally of rallies.
