PodOmatic | Podcast - Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World - Modcast #75: Pull The Trigger

Mr Suave

In today's mod, mod world, what is suave? Dredging through the memories of the misspent days of my youth I found that the styles, music, fashions, even the words I read all led me down a common path. The various twists and turns of that path drove me to the edge of the cocktail culture [http://www.mistersuave.com]. Teetering on the brink, I was finally repulsed by the mockery of things once held cool. Repulsed enough to pull myself back and begin making my way down a new path of my own creation. Here then is a path where my days of now pay homage to those who have gone before, heeding well-worn advice in the conception of my own modernistic stylings. While there is nothing new under the sun, there can be fresh ways to look at what has passed us by; original ways of combining those pasts into a more perfect understanding. I don't believe in living in the past, but in using the past to enhance living for today. When I was swinging in the mod scene I was always looking for those people, fashions, sounds, trends, groups who could honor the past while creating a new style all their own. Every era produces its own bit of swank culture, suave styles, and just plain cool. Once cool, always cool. Once granted, there is no retracting the title of suave. Most of what is here comprises those cool things and hip people who over the years have gained that certain ... Je ne sais quoi. In music -- jazz, lounge, mod, and certainly even some current rock and pop groups and musicians are here, and are suave. Suave is what you make it. In my mod world these things are suave because I make them that way. Solid soul and style, Mr. Suave Feed Shark [http://feedshark.brainbliss.com]

Welcome to Mr Suave's Mod Mod World. First, all apologies for missing last week's modcast. It's inexcusable, but by way of an explanation I will tell you that losing electricity to half your half house is a mind boggleing experience. Mostly because you're trying to figure out what the hell happened between one electical outlet and another to make half the house light up like a Christmast tree and the rest of the house to play dead like a possum. Regardless, I am now able to get the latest modcast broadcasting far and wide. So, here you go with this week's goddam good set.
