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.

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.
Article comments
1 - Eric Berlin
Right on, Duke. The rightest of right ons. I'll be listening to this one very soonly enough.
2 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
hope you dig it Eric. i think i made some sort of rude reference to your good self.
3 - Aaman
I have it on my player right now, Duke - about to spin the wheel, in a manner of speaking.
Methinks I should do a podcast, on movies/books, rather than music, if there is an interest. What software is good for splicing stuff together?
4 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
hope you enjoy it Aaman. i think its better than #8, but i dunno overall what i think of it. great playlist, though, if nothin else.
As for the splicing and so on, i hear Audacity is great for the purpose. Personally i use cool edit, probably just cause i got introduced to it a long time ago, and loved it. totally simple to use, which is what i need.
and i'd love to hear an Aaman podcast!
5 - Aaman
Good stuff! The Lucinda Williams is great, and the Wookie references apt.
I'm a bit put-off by the complexities surrounding licensing of the music used - an example of the challenges in podcast licensing is here
6 - Eric Berlin
Rude reference to my good self? I'm quite honored, I should think.
Aaman -- I use Audacity. It just about killed me to get some of the early basics down, but that had to do with a lack of tech expertise and the fact that I had to learn (the VERY hard way) that my PC wasn't suited to recording audio. Once I switched over to a laptop, things went far smoother.
As for licensing, it depends greatly on what you'd like to play. I got my show signed up as an official radio station on Garageband.com, which opens up a universe of indie music to mess about with. Great fun, and I'm now very much appreciating the experience of "discovering" new music.
7 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
Glad you liked it Aaman. and yeah, Lucinda is marvellous.
Eric, no more rude than usual, maybe...
8 - Mat
This version of I Lost It is a remake of sorts. She cut the song first, on her second(?) album way back when. That version is lighter and sweeter with some very nice fiddle playing. Definitely worth checking out.
9 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
niceo ne Mat, i didn't know that. the only two records of hers i own are Car Wheels... and world without tears. i must investigate this earlier recording.
10 - Mat
The album is called Happy Women Blues. It is her second album, and her first one in which she sings her own songs (the first album she covered old blues numbers). It's a very good album, but a little tenative, as though she was a little shy about singing her own tunes. The two after that LUCINDA WILLIAMS and SWEET OLD WORLD, are fantastic, and well recommended.
11 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
thanks for the info Mat. i'll check these out soon as is humanly possible.
12 - Eric Berlin
Duke -- Just listened to #9 on my way up to the god forsaken desert lands.
I really think this is the best one you've done yet, man. I love the way you tied the comedy into stuff going on in your life (well, perhaps not The Man bit, but...) and what you're seeing / doing, etc. That's what kept me totally intrigued for an hour's listen.
Awesome awesome job.
More later...
13 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
wow, thanks eric, i didn't expect such sentiments to be uttered. i would appear i am the worst judge of these things. thanks, man. this gives a fella some much-needed perspective
14 - Al Barger
RE: Richard Pryor, the album you need is Is It Something I Said?.
15 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
wonderful Al! thank you
16 - Eric Berlin
Great great playlist throughout the show, man.
I have to call out:
- What a blow-you-off-your-ass System of a Down tune. I looked like a total idiot/ass going nuts driving up that long hill, I can tell you...
- Lucinda Williams: never heard of her in my life... f'n gorgeous, as you might say, Duke. Beautiful and unique crooning there.
- GG Allin: Again, had never heard. Not what I expected -- kind of like a surf rock Black Flag, no? I liked it.. but the vocals are awful, however (sorry GG) -- would love more Ramones-style there... or at least H Rollins... or anything else really!
-- A McMullan: Ah, we know about the good-for-nothing publicity hound already... he's so 4/05 already though, isn't he? When's the next Britney coming out for God's sake?
-- Kweller: Someone emersed himself in Ben Folds and McCartney here... I dug it much...
17 - Eric Berlin
Oh, and by the way...
I had the same dream.
What do you suppose that means?
18 - Al Barger
All I know is that after this apparently painful visit from The Man, I feel an urge to PayPal ya a coupla bucks for some Preparation H or KY Jelly or something is what.
19 - Eric Berlin
Yeah, for future reference: it's probably okay to NOT answer the door when The Man comes a knocking... or at least hide in the bathroom for a while and hope he goes away.
20 - Chris G
Duke,
I'm going to have to listen to the Vietnam flashback story a second time. It was too good. And thanks for the GG. Or at least thanks for taking my request. He sounds like bear being bashed over the head with a garbage can.
Glad to see you've got the rss feed going. Although it lumps you in with a bunch of other shows. All of which, I'm sure are great, but I just wanted the Mondo show for now. So back to manually downloading.
Surely you're becoming a big hit in the universities of America, no?
Your Loyal listener
Chris
21 - Eric Berlin
Yeah, the Vietnam stuff was brilliant, as was your little foray into explaining what kind of limb you were out on...
22 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
chris, glad you liked it man. the mosh-pit tale seems to have made an impression with some folks.
if only it were a fiction...
the RSS feed is indeed the blogcritics rss feed, which i would recoment givin a shot sometime. Noto nly would you get the wonderful Dumpster Bust, but also all sorts of podcasts and wonders. i might grab that feed myself, actually, since there's so many casts arriving on here of late that im sure i miss 90% of them...
and i will one day have a solitary feed, but every attempt is thwarted by my laughable inability to compose the damn things right.
and eric, thank you man. And i will make a note of the door thing.
And al, i only wish KY Jelly were enough. i feel a blowtorch may be in order.
23 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
due to unforseen circumstances, there's gonna be a week's delayi n mondo podcast 10. it'll be on this very site in a week or less, and it'll be a star wars special of sorts, but its gonna take longer than usual.
24 - Eric Berlin
Duke - I'm feeling you. DB Radio #8 is going to be a bit delayed due mostly to a cold and various associated madness.
I'm disappointed because I have a great interview (Salon.com's Cary Tennis) and some unbelievable music to drop.
Looking forward to more Mondo.
25 - Andrew Ian Dodge
Duke could you send us an email. I would like some info on what you use to do a podcast. I was part of a group one recently but it seems to have fizzled so thinking of doing one solo.
