On the first day of Christmas Mondo Irlando and Blogcritics.org
gave to me The Mondo Podcast Episode 14, being the Christmas
Holiday New Years Spectacular.
73 minutes of meandering banter, self-reflection, biological
experiments, festive fuckery and great music, this time around
from the likes of Babyshambles, Ryan Adams, Arctic Monkeys, Half-
Man Half-Biscuit, Test Icicles and Bright Eyes.

It’s taken its time, and most likely it wasn’t worth the wait,
but still, fuck it, probably Podcast 14’ll be a damn masterpiece.
In addition to the swearing, the sexing discussions, the talk of
superstitions and the like, you’ll hear music from folks along
the lines of The Rakes, Bright Eyes, Babyshambles, Rilo Kiley,
Nick Cave, Devendra Banhart, and some motherfucker by the name of

Tunes What Get Whistled Herein
The Distillers – The Young Crazed Peeling
“Are you ready to be liberated?????” asks Brody and co. A
brilliant romp from off of Sing Sing Death House, still the best
Distillers record, in so far as The Duke would announce.
Dashboard Confessional – This Ruined Puzzle
A guest selection, is what this amounts to, but thankfully it’s
beautiful as all hell, even if a fella has to swallow all sortsa
“My baby done me bad” type shenanigans.
Todd Snider – Iron Mike’s Main Man’s Last Request
East Nashville Skyline was one of my favourite records of 2004,
so why the hell wouldn’t you be beside yourself with the thought
of how wonderful this number’s gonna be? It’s all about Mike
Tyson and such, and as witty and touching as anything Snider
wraps his nicotine-ravaged yap around.
Johnny Cash And Joe Strummer – Redemption Song
A fucking incredible duet, you’ll need no convincing. This is
taken from the unspeakably gorgeous, if truly horrifically named,
Unearthed box set, being four CD’s of outtakes from the American
Recordings sessions, plus a fifth best-of from said records.
Nirvana – Sappy
Another box-set offering, this being a glorious number which has
surfaced on sundry bootlegs over the years under a dizzying array
of names. Verse Chorus Verse, Laundry Room, Sappy, who knows what
the hell it is? Other than fantastic.
Loretta Lynn – High On A Mountain Top
From another of my favourite 2004 offerings, this deliriously
uplifting affair from Loretta’s collaborative record with Jack
White. What better tune for to send you off smiling?
Well, that’s your lot folks.

The Mondo Podcast Episode Ten
Mondo Irlando and Blogcritics.org fling the first ever double-
figure instalment of The Mondo Podcast Thing into the chasms of
cyber-space.
Laugh! At various foul-mouthed “jokes” told poorly!
Cry! As The Duke dies ON AIR!
Feel Indifferent! As many tangents get explored, with little or
no point.

If you don’t wanna know what music gets blared into your ear-
caverns, then don’t scroll down, since what follows is nothing
less than a playlist.
Ice T – Home Invasion
The title track from one of the finest hip-hop records of all
ever. Also the first of four title tracks this week. A title
track extravaganza is what it is, don’t you know?
Adam Green – Choke On A Cock
From Green’s latest record, Gemstones, comes this tale of
fellatio and Johnny Depp and shaking the hand of George W Bush.
Glorious.
The Libertines – Up The Brackett
Title Track Number 2, and one that starts with the finest yell in
all recorded music. This’ll be the last Libertines track for a
while, on account of too much Libertines, if such a thing is
possible.
William Shatner – Has Been
Title Track Number 3, a stand-out from Shatner’s fabulous 2004
record, produced by no less a motherfucker than Ben Folds. This
has a sorta spaghetti western vibe, and has Shatner doin’ the
coolest “You talking to me?” since the fella in Taxi Driver.
Brando, I believe it was.
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – The Ballad Of Robert Moore And
Betty Coltrane
This is from the recent B-Sides And Rarities compilation, a
thrilling murder ballad that sounds as deliciously sinister as
anything the long-jawed genius ever put his name to.
Uncle Tupelo – No Depression
Title Track Number 4, and one of those “seminal” type tracks you
hear about now and again. Before they went off to be Wilco, Uncle
Tupelo were busy spear-heading the alt.country movement, and this
is one of the definitive examples of such.
As ever, you can Fling The Duke An Email or Leave A Message.
Mondo Podcast Episode 9
Mondo Irlando and Blogcritics.org fling the paper-bag of digital
orgasm that is The Mondo Irlando Podcast Episode 9 into the very
ear-holes of cyberspace.
This episode, whilst no better nor worse nor probably even very
different to the others, is, nonetheless, dedicated to Jim, and
most likely all forthcoming episodes will owe something to the
horrors and the non-horrors the last couple days have aroused.
Plenty wank jokes, then.

Mondo Irlando Podcast Episode 9.mp3
Musical Performances What Feature
The Crocketts – Will You Still Care For Me
An exceptional track from an exceptional debut album. The
Crocketts split up after the release of their second record, and
this here, from We May Be Skinny And Wirey, is reason enough for
to hang our heads in shame that we ever let such a thing happen.
System Of A Down – Sugar
I just happened to be fumbling through the ol’ Compact Discs last
night and came upon the astounding self-titled System Of A Down
debut. This track, you’re probably aware, is a fucking
masterpiece, and even if you heard it a million times, I bet you
forgot just how good it was.
Lucinda Williams – I Lost It
Lucinda Williams has a new live CD out this week, and I can’t
wait for to get my hands on it, is the truth of the matter. First
time I heard Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, which was shortly
before Mondo Podcast 1 arrived, I was speechless. Grabbed a fella
by the gut and shook him raw, is what. And then left without so
much as a smile.
GG Allin & The Holy Men – Tough Fuckin’ Shit
Hey, it was a request, man. What can a fella do? Still, everyone
needs to hear a bit of GG in their time. Why not make that time
right the hell now?
Aaron McMullan – Song Bout If I Reach Her
I won’t plug 120 Removed one more time on the show, so make the
most of this here. Also, why not pay a visit to aaronmcmullan.com
and gain some insight into how much of a whore he really is.
Ben Kweller – Hospital Bed
I got Ben Kweller’s second record on the day of release, and it’s
taken till this week for it finally to slap me upside the face.
Now it’s on 24-7 rotation. Hear this, and decide something along
the lines of “Wow. That young fella out Radish surely upped the
game somewhat since then. I’m gonna go pick me up On My Way.”
As ever, comments, suggestions, emails about “Thanks for that
prodigy review you CUNT” (I will never forget these things) can
be flung HERE, or just Leave A Comment In The Mondo Guestbook.
Thanks folks.
Mondo Podcast Episode Eight
So here it is, after a fortnight spent trawling the filthy waters
of the yakuza underworld in pursuit of the motherfucker what
slighted my family, I got a break in the mania for to sit down
and fling The Mondo Podcast Episode Eight onto the old cyberspace
get-up.
As ever, The Mondo Podcast is cacked into the world by Mondo
Irlando and Blogcritics.org
You don’t need an iPod or nothin’ like that for to listen,

be in a position to do so. Failing that, just listen through

there. Suggestions, comments and so on can be left in The Duke’s
Guestbook or, alternatively, just Fling A Sodding Email.
Playlist
White Zombie – Thunder Kiss ‘65
What better way for to announce the arrival of The Mondo Irlando
Podcast Episode Eight than this demented gem from Rob and co.
"1965!", hollers Rob. Holler along, and think about why a song
about how things used to be so much better and cooler is opening
the latest instalment of The Duke’s radio banter. Should’ve ended
after the time travel, man.
Willy Mason – Still A Fly
Second showing for Mason in as many Podcasts. After this he’ll be
relegated to the “Played too much” pile alongside Billy Bragg,
The Libertines, Bright Eyes and The Manic Street Preachers. So
make the most of it, is my advice. This is from his current
record, Where The Humans Eat. It’s astounding.
The White Stripes – You’re Pretty Good Looking For A Girl
Prepare yourself for the imminent release of Get Behind Me, Satan
with this burst of glory from second record De Stijl. Brilliant
is what it is, and we can only hope the new adventure is a third
as invigorating.
Weezer – No Other One
And another offering from the second record of a band about to
release a newie. This is a fairly typical slab from the masterful
Pinkerton, a tale of being stuck with someone you don’t
especially like, but fuck it, who else is gonna take you?
Aaron McMullan – I Do Believe You Are The Devil
Cause if I don’t plug it, who the hell will? It’s from 120
Removed, which you can get Right Here
The Magnetic Fields – Epitaph For My Heart
69 Love Songs is quite simply one of the very best records ever
fucking made. And infuriating. A triple album shouldn’t be this
memorable, this infectious, this consistently brilliant. And yet
it is. Every heart-wrenching second.
Thanks folks.
Mondo Podcast Episode Seven
From out the gutters of Mondo Irlando springs The Mondo Podcast
Episode Seven, plucked from amidst the filth and cack by the
digital grip of Blogcritics.org
You don’t need an iPod or MP3 peripheral to hear, just right-
click the MP3 and save it someplace humid, or alternatively, left-
click to listen online.
What The Duke would prefer is the “saving” option, since there
seems to be a bit of a kafuffle with the yahoos at Yahoo with
regards data transfer or some such. If you’re having trouble
downloading, or you only get half of it or some fucked up thing,
please try again a little bit later.

The Playlist
Adam Green – Bluebirds
This jaunty number is plucked from Green’s fantastic Friends Of
Mine. Following a stint with anti-folk heroes The Mouldy Peaches,
Green set off on his own for to carve witty, vulgar, catchy as
hell pop songs featuring plenty talk of “cunts” and “suicide” and
“Your daddy nailed me to the cross” etc.
Whiskeytown – Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart
One of my favourite bands of all time, is the crux of what The
Duke makes of Whiskeytown. In case you didn’t know, the front-man
for these alt. country mavericks was none other than David Ryan
Adams, who soon ditched the “David” and went ahead with crafting
a remarkable solo career. I hear he has a new album out on
Monday, and let The Duke announce that I can’t fucking wait.
Willy Mason – Where The Humans Eat
The title track from Mason’s latest record, and a wonderful slab
of low-key blues type shenanigans.
Ben Folds Five – Song For The Dumped
From the classic Whatever And Ever Amen, this is something of an
anti break-up song. Rather than whine, moan, weep and so on, Ben
and pals wanna yell about “Fuck you too!” and “Gimmie my money
back, you bitch!”
Morrissey – This World Is Full Of Crashing Bores
I bounced back and forward and left and right with regards what
Morrissey track I was gonna play, before finally settling for
this wonderful number off of You Are The Quarry. A rousing affair
concerning “uniformed whores” and “lock-jawed pop-stars thicker
than pig shit”.
The Distillers – Love Is Paranoid
And finally, something suitably frantic from Brody and friends.
This is from Coral Fang, i.e., the post Tim Armstrong break-up
record. Thanks Brody. I had a dream about you one time.
Thanks folks.
Mondo Podcast Episode Six
What the “podcast” phenomena concerns itself with is the amateur
radio that kicks the clambering sterile arsehole of the
commercial equivalent. You don’t need an iPod to listen, just
right-click and save the MP3, or left-click to listen online.
The Mondo Podcast Episode Six.mp3
If you wanna be surprised and stunned, don’t scroll down, on
account of what lies below is no more than a playlist, i.e., the
songs what get blared herein;
The Buzzcocks – What Do I Get?
A perfect slab of punk-pop from everyone’s favourite love-lorn
Mancs. The Smiths don’t count for such a label, since you can
only be love-lorn if you WANT love, as in physical touching and
leaking. Morrissey just wanted to yack about Wilde and maybe
sniff some gladioli’s.
The Nips – All The Time In The World
Before Lord Shane MacGowan was fronting The Pogues, he was
fronting these buncha London rapscallions. Brilliant, frantic
punk delirium.
Elliot Smith – Memory Lane
A beautiful Beatles-esque number, all fingerpicking and double-
tracked vocals. Far too pretty for a grot-fest like this, to be
perfectly honest.
Jesse Malin – Riding On The Subway
One of the stand-outs from Jesse’s marvellous debut solo record,
The Fine Art Of Self Destruction, co-produced by the ever
magnificent Ryan Adams.
Green Day – Who Wrote Holden Caulfield
One of those occasions when The Duke finds himself listening to
something he hasn’t listened to in years, and then next thing
anyone knows it’s bounding out The Mondo Podcast. This is from
their second record, the criminally under-rated Kerplunk!
Fountains Of Wayne – Bright Future In Sales
Sometimes MTV get it right, man. Chances are you heard Hey Julie
and Stacy’s Mom blaring out the telly enough to sicken your guts
tartan. This here is from the same album, Welcome Interstate
Managers, and is further proof that the damn thing plays like a
greatest hits set.

The Mondo Irlando Podcast Episode Five.mp3
An epic tale of heartbreak, misery, time-travel and Kirsten Dunst.
Barring an Extra Special Bonus Selection, this here is what
constitutes the PLAYLIST;
Rancid – Cash, Culture And Violence
Blinding bout of hollering and spitting from the masterful Life
Won’t Wait. Also has the fella from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
offering a yell or two.
Bright Eyes – When The President Talks To God
This was a free iTunes download, but only if you lived in the US.
Us United UK rapscallions had to make do with sifting through
illegally obtained live-versions or, indeed, picking up the First
Day Of My Life single, since this popped up on the B-Side.
I did both, incidentally.
The Futureheads – Le Garage
Barbershop, funk, punk and electronica combine in this glorious
bout of Scots-accents and American pronunciation.
Johnny Cash – Delia’s Gone
Stark as hell murder ballad from American Recordings that manages
to be incredibly uplifting, nonetheless.
Manic Street Preachers – Faster
Perhaps the single greatest moment in The Manic Street Preachers
career. If not, then the parent album, The Holy Bible, surely
meets the requirements for such a post.
Kaiser Chiefs – Na Na Na Na Naa
Hear them before they’re too big to be cool anymore!
As ever, suggestions and the like can be flung to The Duke HERE,
or you can leave a wee comment In The Mondo Guestbook.
MONDO IRLANDO PODCAST FOUR
Mondo Irlando and Blogcritics offer up the greasy, fattening
roast of The Mondo Podcast Episode Four upon the digital platter
of cyberspace.
Fantastic music, fantastic banter, shell-shock-inducing swearing.
Also, as an extra bonus treat, this week’s MP3 is, in fact, fully
functioning. In other words, it won’t say 12.56 or whatever for
the duration of the damn show.
And, by popular demand, right here is the music-related playlist;
The Pogues – Bottle Of Smoke
Plucked from off of If I Should Fall From Grace With God, this is
among the most frantic slabs of bollock-stripping punk folk these
unspeakably brilliant sons a bitches ever crafted. It’s all about
a horse race, don’t you know. Dig that galloping vibe, would you
ever?
The Clash – Police On My Back
By way of Public Service, The Duke illustrates that, in actual
fact, Sandinista is nowhere near as bad as you’ve been led to
believe. This right here is proof.
Todd Snider – Good News Blues
His baby done him bad. And he don’t give a flying gypsies fuck,
I'd wager. This is from his masterful East Nashville Skyline.
Bright Eyes – Arc Of Time
One of the stand-out moments in the brilliant Digital Ash In A
Digital Urn. It’s high time this record was getting the attention
that the similarly wonderful I’m Wide It’s Morning has been
enjoying.
The Libertines – What Became Of The Likely Lads?
Heartbreaking account of a friendship, and an incredible
songwriting partnership, burning itself to the ground. “See if
it's up to you, I know exactly what you’ll do with all the dreams
we had.”
Jello Biafra And Mojo Nixon – Will The Foetus Be
Aborted?
From Prairie Home Invasion, Jello and friends rework Will The
Circle Be Unbroken for to be all about the abortion and the pro-
choice and the what not.
As ever, all you need to do is right-click for to save the MP3,

In this first instalment, what you'll hear is some music from the
likes of Ice-T, Lucinda Williams, Selfish Cunt, Billy Bragg, and

less than shocking, is what.
Limited vocab, motherfucker.
Also, you'll hear The Duke's thoughts on break-up albums, and an

The Mondo Podcast Thing Episode 10.mp3
If you don’t wanna know what music gets blared into your ear-
caverns, then don’t scroll down, since what follows is nothing
less than a playlist.
Ice T – Home Invasion
The title track from one of the finest hip-hop records of all
ever. Also the first of four title tracks this week. A title
track extravaganza is what it is, don’t you know?
Adam Green – Choke On A Cock
From Green’s latest record, Gemstones, comes this tale of
fellatio and Johnny Depp and shaking the hand of George W Bush.
Glorious.
The Libertines – Up The Brackett
Title Track Number 2, and one that starts with the finest yell in
all recorded music. This’ll be the last Libertines track for a
while, on account of too much Libertines, if such a thing is
possible.
William Shatner – Has Been
Title Track Number 3, a stand-out from Shatner’s fabulous 2004
record, produced by no less a motherfucker than Ben Folds. This
has a sorta spaghetti western vibe, and has Shatner doin’ the
coolest “You talking to me?” since the fella in Taxi Driver.
Brando, I believe it was.
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – The Ballad Of Robert Moore And
Betty Coltrane
This is from the recent B-Sides And Rarities compilation, a
thrilling murder ballad that sounds as deliciously sinister as
anything the long-jawed genius ever put his name to.
Uncle Tupelo – No Depression
Title Track Number 4, and one of those “seminal” type tracks you
hear about now and again. Before they went off to be Wilco, Uncle
Tupelo were busy spear-heading the alt.country movement, and this
is one of the definitive examples of such.

Mondo Podcast Episode 9
Mondo Irlando and Blogcritics.org fling the paper-bag of digital
orgasm that is The Mondo Irlando Podcast Episode 9 into the very
ear-holes of cyberspace.
This episode, whilst no better nor worse nor probably even very
different to the others, is, nonetheless, dedicated to Jim, and
most likely all forthcoming episodes will owe something to the
horrors and the non-horrors the last couple days have aroused.
Plenty wank jokes, then.
You don’t need an iPod or any other MP3 peripheral to hear, just
left-click to listen online or right-click to save the mp3
someplace humid.
Under the MP3 link you’ll find the playlist, so if you don’t
wanna know, don’t go scrollin’ in the woods.
Mondo Irlando Podcast Episode 9.mp3
Musical Performances What Feature
The Crocketts – Will You Still Care For Me
An exceptional track from an exceptional debut album. The
Crocketts split up after the release of their second record, and
this here, from We May Be Skinny And Wirey, is reason enough for
to hang our heads in shame that we ever let such a thing happen.
System Of A Down – Sugar
I just happened to be fumbling through the ol’ Compact Discs last
night and came upon the astounding self-titled System Of A Down
debut. This track, you’re probably aware, is a fucking
masterpiece, and even if you heard it a million times, I bet you
forgot just how good it was.
Lucinda Williams – I Lost It
Lucinda Williams has a new live CD out this week, and I can’t
wait for to get my hands on it, is the truth of the matter. First
time I heard Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, which was shortly
before Mondo Podcast 1 arrived, I was speechless. Grabbed a fella
by the gut and shook him raw, is what. And then left without so
much as a smile.
GG Allin & The Holy Men – Tough Fuckin’ Shit
Hey, it was a request, man. What can a fella do? Still, everyone
needs to hear a bit of GG in their time. Why not make that time
right the hell now?
Aaron McMullan – Song Bout If I Reach Her
I won’t plug 120 Removed one more time on the show, so make the
most of this here. Also, why not pay a visit to aaronmcmullan.com
and gain some insight into how much of a whore he really is.
Ben Kweller – Hospital Bed
I got Ben Kweller’s second record on the day of release, and it’s
taken till this week for it finally to slap me upside the face.
Now it’s on 24-7 rotation. Hear this, and decide something along
the lines of “Wow. That young fella out Radish surely upped the
game somewhat since then. I’m gonna go pick me up On My Way.”
As ever, comments, suggestions, emails about “Thanks for that
prodigy review you CUNT” (I will never forget these things) can
be flung HERE, or just Leave A Comment In The Mondo Guestbook.
Thanks folks.
Mondo Podcast Episode Eight
So here it is, after a fortnight spent trawling the filthy waters
of the yakuza underworld in pursuit of the motherfucker what
slighted my family, I got a break in the mania for to sit down
and fling The Mondo Podcast Episode Eight onto the old cyberspace
get-up.
As ever, The Mondo Podcast is cacked into the world by Mondo
Irlando and Blogcritics.org
You don’t need an iPod or nothin’ like that for to listen,
although certainly you can utilize such a peripheral should you
be in a position to do so. Failing that, just listen through
Winamp or something.
Just left-click to listen online, or right-click to save
someplace nice.

If you don’t wanna know what’s gonna be hitting the airwaves,
don't scroll down, since it’s only a playlist right the hell
there. Suggestions, comments and so on can be left in The Duke’s
Guestbook or, alternatively, just Fling A Sodding Email.
Playlist
White Zombie – Thunder Kiss ‘65
What better way for to announce the arrival of The Mondo Irlando
Podcast Episode Eight than this demented gem from Rob and co.
"1965!", hollers Rob. Holler along, and think about why a song
about how things used to be so much better and cooler is opening
the latest instalment of The Duke’s radio banter. Should’ve ended
after the time travel, man.
Willy Mason – Still A Fly
Second showing for Mason in as many Podcasts. After this he’ll be
relegated to the “Played too much” pile alongside Billy Bragg,
The Libertines, Bright Eyes and The Manic Street Preachers. So
make the most of it, is my advice. This is from his current
record, Where The Humans Eat. It’s astounding.
The White Stripes – You’re Pretty Good Looking For A Girl
Prepare yourself for the imminent release of Get Behind Me, Satan
with this burst of glory from second record De Stijl. Brilliant
is what it is, and we can only hope the new adventure is a third
as invigorating.
Weezer – No Other One
And another offering from the second record of a band about to
release a newie. This is a fairly typical slab from the masterful
Pinkerton, a tale of being stuck with someone you don’t
especially like, but fuck it, who else is gonna take you?
Aaron McMullan – I Do Believe You Are The Devil
Cause if I don’t plug it, who the hell will? It’s from 120
Removed, which you can get Right Here
The Magnetic Fields – Epitaph For My Heart
69 Love Songs is quite simply one of the very best records ever
fucking made. And infuriating. A triple album shouldn’t be this
memorable, this infectious, this consistently brilliant. And yet
it is. Every heart-wrenching second.
Thanks folks.
Mondo Podcast Episode Seven
From out the gutters of Mondo Irlando springs The Mondo Podcast
Episode Seven, plucked from amidst the filth and cack by the
digital grip of Blogcritics.org
You don’t need an iPod or MP3 peripheral to hear, just right-
click the MP3 and save it someplace humid, or alternatively, left-
click to listen online.
What The Duke would prefer is the “saving” option, since there
seems to be a bit of a kafuffle with the yahoos at Yahoo with
regards data transfer or some such. If you’re having trouble
downloading, or you only get half of it or some fucked up thing,
please try again a little bit later.

your nuts open with musical wonder, then don’t scroll down, since
the playlist is just underneath.

Letter.
The Playlist
Adam Green – Bluebirds
This jaunty number is plucked from Green’s fantastic Friends Of
Mine. Following a stint with anti-folk heroes The Mouldy Peaches,
Green set off on his own for to carve witty, vulgar, catchy as
hell pop songs featuring plenty talk of “cunts” and “suicide” and
“Your daddy nailed me to the cross” etc.
Whiskeytown – Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart
One of my favourite bands of all time, is the crux of what The
Duke makes of Whiskeytown. In case you didn’t know, the front-man
for these alt. country mavericks was none other than David Ryan
Adams, who soon ditched the “David” and went ahead with crafting
a remarkable solo career. I hear he has a new album out on
Monday, and let The Duke announce that I can’t fucking wait.
Willy Mason – Where The Humans Eat
The title track from Mason’s latest record, and a wonderful slab
of low-key blues type shenanigans.
Ben Folds Five – Song For The Dumped
From the classic Whatever And Ever Amen, this is something of an
anti break-up song. Rather than whine, moan, weep and so on, Ben
and pals wanna yell about “Fuck you too!” and “Gimmie my money
back, you bitch!”
Morrissey – This World Is Full Of Crashing Bores
I bounced back and forward and left and right with regards what
Morrissey track I was gonna play, before finally settling for
this wonderful number off of You Are The Quarry. A rousing affair
concerning “uniformed whores” and “lock-jawed pop-stars thicker
than pig shit”.
The Distillers – Love Is Paranoid
And finally, something suitably frantic from Brody and friends.
This is from Coral Fang, i.e., the post Tim Armstrong break-up
record. Thanks Brody. I had a dream about you one time.
Thanks folks.
Mondo Podcast Episode Six
What the “podcast” phenomena concerns itself with is the amateur
radio that kicks the clambering sterile arsehole of the
commercial equivalent. You don’t need an iPod to listen, just
right-click and save the MP3, or left-click to listen online.
The Mondo Podcast Episode Six.mp3
If you wanna be surprised and stunned, don’t scroll down, on
account of what lies below is no more than a playlist, i.e., the
songs what get blared herein;
The Buzzcocks – What Do I Get?
A perfect slab of punk-pop from everyone’s favourite love-lorn
Mancs. The Smiths don’t count for such a label, since you can
only be love-lorn if you WANT love, as in physical touching and
leaking. Morrissey just wanted to yack about Wilde and maybe
sniff some gladioli’s.
The Nips – All The Time In The World
Before Lord Shane MacGowan was fronting The Pogues, he was
fronting these buncha London rapscallions. Brilliant, frantic
punk delirium.
Elliot Smith – Memory Lane
A beautiful Beatles-esque number, all fingerpicking and double-
tracked vocals. Far too pretty for a grot-fest like this, to be
perfectly honest.
Jesse Malin – Riding On The Subway
One of the stand-outs from Jesse’s marvellous debut solo record,
The Fine Art Of Self Destruction, co-produced by the ever
magnificent Ryan Adams.
Green Day – Who Wrote Holden Caulfield
One of those occasions when The Duke finds himself listening to
something he hasn’t listened to in years, and then next thing
anyone knows it’s bounding out The Mondo Podcast. This is from
their second record, the criminally under-rated Kerplunk!
Fountains Of Wayne – Bright Future In Sales
Sometimes MTV get it right, man. Chances are you heard Hey Julie
and Stacy’s Mom blaring out the telly enough to sicken your guts
tartan. This here is from the same album, Welcome Interstate
Managers, and is further proof that the damn thing plays like a
greatest hits set.

"HEARTBREAK, MISERY, TIME-TRAVEL AND KIRSTEN DUNST"

The Mondo Irlando Podcast 5 before the hissing crowds of
cyberspace.
Hang the fucker, they implore.
You don’t need no iPod for to hear it, just right click on the

the oceans of the web-net.
The Mondo Irlando Podcast Episode Five.mp3
An epic tale of heartbreak, misery, time-travel and Kirsten Dunst.
Barring an Extra Special Bonus Selection, this here is what
constitutes the PLAYLIST;
Rancid – Cash, Culture And Violence
Blinding bout of hollering and spitting from the masterful Life
Won’t Wait. Also has the fella from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
offering a yell or two.
Bright Eyes – When The President Talks To God
This was a free iTunes download, but only if you lived in the US.
Us United UK rapscallions had to make do with sifting through
illegally obtained live-versions or, indeed, picking up the First
Day Of My Life single, since this popped up on the B-Side.
I did both, incidentally.
The Futureheads – Le Garage
Barbershop, funk, punk and electronica combine in this glorious
bout of Scots-accents and American pronunciation.
Johnny Cash – Delia’s Gone
Stark as hell murder ballad from American Recordings that manages
to be incredibly uplifting, nonetheless.
Manic Street Preachers – Faster
Perhaps the single greatest moment in The Manic Street Preachers
career. If not, then the parent album, The Holy Bible, surely
meets the requirements for such a post.
Kaiser Chiefs – Na Na Na Na Naa
Hear them before they’re too big to be cool anymore!
As ever, suggestions and the like can be flung to The Duke HERE,
or you can leave a wee comment In The Mondo Guestbook.
MONDO IRLANDO PODCAST FOUR
Mondo Irlando and Blogcritics offer up the greasy, fattening
roast of The Mondo Podcast Episode Four upon the digital platter
of cyberspace.
Fantastic music, fantastic banter, shell-shock-inducing swearing.
Also, as an extra bonus treat, this week’s MP3 is, in fact, fully
functioning. In other words, it won’t say 12.56 or whatever for
the duration of the damn show.
And, by popular demand, right here is the music-related playlist;
The Pogues – Bottle Of Smoke
Plucked from off of If I Should Fall From Grace With God, this is
among the most frantic slabs of bollock-stripping punk folk these
unspeakably brilliant sons a bitches ever crafted. It’s all about
a horse race, don’t you know. Dig that galloping vibe, would you
ever?
The Clash – Police On My Back
By way of Public Service, The Duke illustrates that, in actual
fact, Sandinista is nowhere near as bad as you’ve been led to
believe. This right here is proof.
Todd Snider – Good News Blues
His baby done him bad. And he don’t give a flying gypsies fuck,
I'd wager. This is from his masterful East Nashville Skyline.
Bright Eyes – Arc Of Time
One of the stand-out moments in the brilliant Digital Ash In A
Digital Urn. It’s high time this record was getting the attention
that the similarly wonderful I’m Wide It’s Morning has been
enjoying.
The Libertines – What Became Of The Likely Lads?
Heartbreaking account of a friendship, and an incredible
songwriting partnership, burning itself to the ground. “See if
it's up to you, I know exactly what you’ll do with all the dreams
we had.”
Jello Biafra And Mojo Nixon – Will The Foetus Be
Aborted?
From Prairie Home Invasion, Jello and friends rework Will The
Circle Be Unbroken for to be all about the abortion and the pro-
choice and the what not.
As ever, all you need to do is right-click for to save the MP3,

less than shocking, is what.
Limited vocab, motherfucker.
