I'm dedicating this post to the memory of Guitar Hero Number One - Les Paul 1915-2009104 weeks in the
For my first anniversary, I made this mix of goodies gathered from other blogger's blogs. But this year, and I guess you could call it an indulgence ("it's an indulgence" they chorused)I've harvested and hand picked a few scraps and selections (as well several nuggs I've been meaning to blog) from my own online allotment, sonic pantry and various guest mixes which you may have missed and blended them into a minty fresh mix 'Two's Next'
So a thank you goes out to all old pals, new chums, long-haulers, regular readers, chippers in, commenters, blog-rollers, Feedburner subscribers and those silent anonobods who peep but never speak - so let's raise a glass and here's to another year..

Did you know? The 'Planet' in PM is taken from a New York Dolls song. I wanted to use Mondo as a blog title, but couldn't seem to team it with anything until Lonely Planet Boy by the Dolls popped into play. Bingo!

I've forgotten what Fridays were like bpm
*before planet mondo*
Excellent. That's my Friday sorted entertainment sorted as usual. Where would I be without your Funky Fridays to end the week, not to mention your general all round fab taste the rest of it?
Happy Blogging Birthday Mondo.

'BPM' I'm liking your logic Choco
You're really are too kind Cocktails *feels head to to swell*
There were so many nugg's I couldn't include Bleech- I was desperate to squeeze in my all time favourite of all time soul stomper Exus Trek , but couldn't make it fit. PS I did include Brainwashed here
Ally I had you in mind when I was putting together the northern run that starts with Levon & The Hawks
Happy Birthday Mr Mondo!
Although a relative newie to the blog I love it like a brother!
I spotted you in the Letters page this month and thought it was an extremely valid point you made...its rare for a band to reinvent the wheel but they changed them one after another!
Heres to another year of soulful sounds and funky mash ups
All the best

Happy bloggy birthday, Mondo. There have been many highlights over the last two years. Recently I can't stop playing Macca's version of I'm Partial To Your Abracadabra which you featured a while back.
P.S. I always thought the 'planet' came from Planet Claire. (Well it didn't!)
Many happy returns PM…
(Always fun to read your Blog & have a listen!)
Happy Anniversary dear Mondo! AND a great tribute to Les Paul (it's been all over the news here since yesterday) with that and Woodstock it seems like there's a lot of Rock&Roll in the air.
I love love your mixes. I started playing it already but I'm off to download now.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
You're very kind Paul.It was through your comment on Jude Roger blog we first hooked up wasn't it? And we really should meet up for scoop one day, both being Southenders !
PS they cropped the letter by half, but still nice to be in there.
It's Macca cracker isn't it Mick - I was tempted with slinging some more modernish bits in the mix - but they just didn't sit comfortably. Good point, but it was the Dolls
PS - The blog name was very nearly Mondo a Go-Go
Thanks Lil, always good to see you on here..
Thank you Gabbi and don't forget you'll find most of the tracks from this mix posted somewhere in the blog - if you fancy an individual tunage
Happy 2nd blog birthday! Grand mix, just my cuppa!
Congrats on making it to two years. That's awesome. You've got such a cool blog. I always love your post. You post such awesome tunes up here. Have a great weekend. Cheers!
Here's two years of pure audio-visual joy in the Mighty Mondo Manner!

Thanks Simon - I had yours Ally's/Davy's high soul standards in mind, while putting the funkier sections of this mix
Cheers to you too Keith - don't forget to grab last year's mix if you haven't yet..
