We're just a little past the half way mark for this year and already it's shaping up to be a great one as far as new music goes.  A lot of music rumbles through my ears, and lately these are the artists who are in heavy rotation here at Suave headquarters.  There are definitely some solid contenders for my annual best of list at the end of the year.  These are acts I've already hyped this year, but the music is so good I decided I'd better play 'em again.  As always find a complete track list, bonus videos, and all the important links to all the important stuff over on the modcast homepage at www.mistersuave.com/2021/07/modcast-488-play-em-again-suave.html. And keep up with me between modcasts:Twitter - https://twitter.com/mistersuaveFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/modmodworldInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrrobsuave/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7GRj5El2drXcG7sPay6BWv?si=Vq4MIa56Sm6MryFjStlMwwSubscribe  with iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mr-suaves-mod-mod-world/id154325887

Ages ago I discovered this great blog (yes blog!) called Ice Cream Man Power Pop & More. It was highlighting all the exact types of music that I loved. Eventually that morphed into the fantastic Ice Cream Man Power Pop & More Podcast and Ice Cream Man Power Pop & More Records, run by the even more fantastic prince of power pop promotion, Wayne Lundqvist Ford. I'd be shocked --shocked I tell you-- if you could find anyone who has done more to promote independent artists playing all the great types of mod friendly music from power pop to northern soul and everything in between.  His compilations featuring new and old bands and are legendary for breaking new sounds as well as sometime being so vast you're riding high for weeks listening to them all.  So, I invited him to chat about new music, old music, what is good music, and more. He even kindly brought some brand new tunes to share with us all. BTW: Wayne guest hosted a couple of modcasts back in the day, one of which has even survived into the pr

The sounds may cover the decades, but they're all now sounds from now bands. With nods to past eras aplenty, all of the band here are pumping out great, new music. As always find a complete track list, links to bands, and a bonus third set of tunes over on the modcast homepage at http://www.mistersuave.com/2021/07/modcast-486-todays-hit-parade.html. And keep up with me between modcasts:Twitter - https://twitter.com/mistersuaveFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/modmodworldInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrrobsuave/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7GRj5El2drXcG7sPay6BWv?si=Vq4MIa56Sm6MryFjStlMwwSubscribe with iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mr-suaves-mod-mod-world/id154325887Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World.

This week I was fortunate to connect with the lead singer of Vancouver, BC's Star Collector (Bandcamp, Facebook). It was a fun conversation about the band, his inspirations and what he's listening to currently. Star Collector's latest album, their first in about 15 years, is Game Day and it is a rip roaring power pop ride from start to finish. Highly recommended, as is anything from their four earlier LPs. You won't be disappointed.As always find a complete track list over on the modcast homepage at http://www.mistersuave.com/2021/06/modcsat-483-all-things-star-collector.html.And keep up with me between modcasts:Twitter - @mistersuave Facebook - facebook.com/modmodworldSpotify - SpotifySubscribe - iTunesMr. Suave's Mod Mod World.

Here it comes. Another shotgun scatter of new tunes. Breaking New Sound Too. There is so much cool new music out there that one Modcast alone can't hip you to all the mod friendly sounds that abound.
