If I had been a teenager during the 60's I'm sure I'd have been a MOD complete with scooter. But I was around for the MOD Revival of the late 70's / early 80's. I was down Carnaby Street a couple of weeks ago and although it isn't what it was, there's still that Brit Culture feel about the place. MOD Music will always live on. A couple of my favourites. The Chords - Maybe Tomorrow Secret Affair - Time For Action [video=youtube;LA2wyIS8xDM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA2wyIS8xDM[/video] [video=youtube;528SPxMdMUU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=528SPxMdMUU[/video]

I went to Quadrophenia last month,think it was 1st show of that tour(Dublin) and they played whole album with plenty of visuals and a couple of live solos from Entwhistle and Moon.When I say 'live solos' they were original footage from old concerts slotted in during the songs,may sound twee but it worked and I'd recommend it.The funny thing was it was all seating and even some of the audience were telling people to be quiet during the show,'I hope I Die Before I Get Old'indeed!!!

For ALL the Mods - Old and New. This band is called RAF. I think there from the US. Came across them purely by accident, but, they are definitely worth a listen. [video=youtube;MyNPN_Hduck]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyNPN_Hduck[/video]
Another couple of songs by RAF. Good songs, well I like them anyway.... Jennifer (Sits Alone) (Its a (Modern World) [video=youtube;YkEOyrg_F-0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkEOyrg_F-0[/video] [video=youtube;LnO7RMifqDQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnO7RMifqDQ[/video]
