In which your Fab Four Diarists Bob, Brad, Carla, and Mark reconvene, kinda sorta, to talk about some of their favorite remixed tracks. This next episode was a long time coming, but as comebacks go, it'll absolutely serve. Beastie Boys, Happy Mondays, Björk, and Depeche Mode? Yes, please!

.There’s an old Irish benediction that goes, “May you be in Heaven an hour before the Devil knows you’re dead.” By our best guess, Shane MacGowan arrived three hours late, drank the Devil under the table, and jimmied the lock on the Pearly Gates.

Come raise a glass, or six, or seven with us, as we celebrate our dear, departed Shane: the Last of the Great Irish Poets.

We’re a bit tardy with this, due to serial editing disasters. But it’s never too late to get your Shane MacGowan on. Here’s to you, Kid.

It's been a while, listeners, but we've mustered a quorum. Bob's back with us today (alas, Mark is not), as we talk about some recent shows we've seen and generally ham it up.

First Bob waxes rhapsodic about Nashville band Bully. Then Brad swaps out a vowel and steers the conversation toward Belly. And we wrap it all up with Carla's trip to Vegas to see U2 in The Sphere.

Attached hereto is the final episode of the Carla, Brad and Mark Sessions. We kept it Stateside for this one, with picks from The Hold Steady, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Car Seat Headrest.

Carla could've used Bob's alliance for her pick. (He'll be back soon!) Brad shared his disdain for new music from old bands. And Mark delivered our favorite pick of the episode. Get ready to rock! These songs sound best played loud.

Here's another bite-sized episode from the Carla, Brad, and Mark Sessions. Three-quarters capacity means just three songs, but we made 'em count.

Brad asked for cover songs by punk and post-punk bands, and the Skeleton Crew responded with Wire, Siouxsie & the Banshees, and the Slits.

Turn on, tune in, and rock out with the Mixtape Diaries, as we, um, let it all hang out!

Last month we lost Sinéad O'Connor. This one really hurts. 35 years ago, Sinéad's first LP was melting the cassette decks in our cars. Through the years, we moved with her music, and it never got old.

Songs of heartbreak, defiance, freedom, vindication: Sinéad sang her life and her truth. If her music doesn't move you ... well, unsubscribe.

Sister, we are stretched on your grave. Nothing compares 2 u.

Mark, Carla, and Brad are back in short order to add three more songs to the Playlist. (Bob's lazing in his hammock on summer vacay.)

Speaking of summer vacation, we logged some mileage on this one. Our itinerary took us first to Oklahoma City to hang with the Flaming Lips, then to Halifax, Nova Scotia for some time with Plumtree, and finally to Delhi to swing a little with Peter Cat Recording Co. If we come off a little slap-happy, blame the jet lag ...?

We promised a fight that we may or not have delivered. We'll let you be the judge.

Don't go gypsy jazzing!
