Disclaimer - The Mondo Irlando Podcast contains more swearwords than one may find socially acceptable. A multitude of F's, plenty of Shit's, and even one or two C's get flung around the airwaves like nobody's business. If in doubt, do not listen, is what.

that's it! i must go out and buy every Proclaimers cd i can get my hands on.
2 - Eric Olsen
though the brogue wears me out after awhile, The Proclaimers have any number of really great, touching, powerful even, songs. They made sincere cool again
3 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
fantastic! you'll be glad to know they haven't made a solitary bad album, although if you were to push me, i would say Hit The Highway was a bit dissapointing. But even it's filled with wonder.
Eric, and also made wearing big thick glasses and cardigans cool again. Well, they did it, anyhow. How great, in an era of peroxide posing fools to see a couple geeky twins with cardigans standing on a stage again? fantastic.
4 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
incidentally, what did you make of the other selections? the picture house and so on? i think they're wonderful, and yet you can't even grab their stuff on amazon. absurd. they do sound a bit like a much poppier REM
5 - Mark Saleski
i loved the cover of "Take The Skinheads Bowling".
gotta dust off my old Camper albums.

mark, me too. that cover was from Lipstick Traces - A Secret History Of The Manic Street Preachers (and not A Secret History Of Man as the amazon link would have it) but i forget to say that in the show thing.
its a great compilation actually. loads of b-sides and the second disc is all covers, from the really good like Skinheads... to the really rather shit like Been A Son by Nirvana.
8 - Eric Berlin
Finally got to listen to this. Bloody brilliant, Duke...
But please, man, we need a playlist, preferably with Duke-o-vision (Credit: Eric Olsen) annotations...
9 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
thanks eric! Yeah, i've considered a playlist, but then i thought it would spoil the suprise. And also, there's a certain track on there which you'll remember was suggested via email (according to the presenter. shifty fucker. i dont trust him) which i felt, if advertised as being on there, might well lead folks to think "well, there's another reason for ignoring it, then."
10 - Eric Berlin
Maybe post the list for #3 when you release #4 (or something)?
I just know that when I hear a song I like, I want to have ready access to the name/band.
An aside: I worked for this bizarro company in San Francisco for a little while. The concept was: you hear a song on the radio and you think, "Wow, I love that song. I would like to know the name of it." Well, you would dial up a number, and the computer would tell you what the song was. That was the company.
My job? I listened to the radio all day, and would digitally mark the beginnings and endings of songs. Yes, it's even less glamorous than it sounds. What I really wound up doing was listening to large chunks of The Howard Stern Show.
I should have known the company was doomed because it was a media company run by former managers of Clorox. Anyway, I bailed out soon enough to get back on the slippery slope of the dot-com bust-death ride, and Buzz Hits was no more a few short months hence (/ aside).
11 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
that sounds like THE BEST idea for a company EVER. my word.
what i might do now actually is put the songlist here, just a quicky one.
The Libertines - "The Boy Looked At Johnny" (from Up The Bracket)
Picture House - S"omebody Somewhere (remix)" (from Shine Box)
The Proclaimers - "Hate My Love" (from Born Innocent)
Aaron McMullan -cough- - "Goth Girls Turn Me On" (from Songs From The Back Room )
The Manic Streets Preachers - "Take The Skinheads Bowling" (from Lipstick Traces, A Secret History Of The Manic Street Preachers)
next week i'll do one in the post. I know it sucks when you wanna know who's playin, and you can't really enjoy it until you know.
12 - Eric Berlin
Thanks Duke.
And no one wants to be the dumbass who doesn't know the names of the cool ass songs and thus is the ultra music non-cool outcast guy.
13 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
shit, i forgot - between Goth Girls and The Manics, there's
Billy Bragg - "Life With The Lions" (from Workers Playtime)
14 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
just a note to say that if you liked the picture house track, i included another from the same album in this fortnight's Mondo MP3 Digest
15 - Temple Stark
Aaron, your comic timing is getting better and better.
And Justin timberlake has never sounded so good.

16 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
Temple, i'm sorry, man, i didn't know there was a comment here! Apologies. And thank you, and know that your article contributed quite a bit to my tightening up of the edges and so on.
17 - Eric Berlin
Duke or Temple: can you drop that link in here? I'd like to read it.
Thanks!
18 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
sorry, i should've done that in the first place. i'll go grab it now. oh, and there's a new podcast up now Eric (although i think it's in the music page, a few posts down) and you'll be glad to know i also implemented your suggestion about the song titles etc.
