A messiah on a mission to praise pop and bash boring bands! This podcast is his weapon of mass destruction and Betty Boo is his Marilyn Monroe.

So who is Mr. Kirkland Ciccone? Well, he was born on Friday 13th (true) and pioneered the use of pinstripe suit jackets and jeans in the Glasgow area (totally true) and his middle name might not be Michael. A skilled yet bored journalist, Kirkland took his love for reading books, performance art and storytelling and attempted to combine the two into performance storytelling. So what does this involve? Verse, rhyme, tall tales and screaming at the audience. But he does it so well! His influnces range from Roald Dahl to Terry Hall to Ivor Cutler to Penny Broadhurst to Betty Boo to Liz Lochhead and Doctor Who.

Kirkland also writes for several websites and fanzines and stuff. He has a column on very funky site This Is Fake DIY which you can go to by visiting www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/kirkland/ - it was this column that Alan McGee (he discovered Oasis and helped bring some amazing music to the masses) commented about on his own blog: "An important reason why net independence is important". Never let it be said that Kirkland is not punk. Also, on the morning of 9/2/07 Terry Wogan himself mentioned Kirkland on his Radio 2 morning show. How surreal! Kirkland also contributes regularly (or has contributed) to Rock Louder, Neu Magazine, Bubblegum Slut and several Doctor Who fanzines have featured writing from Mr. Ciccone under a whole array of different names. Kirkland is also a regular on The Void which is the letters page of Channel 4's Teletext service and legendary music bible Planet Sound.

Kirkland Ciccone's recent gigs were at the Cumbernauld Theatre where he organised an event called A Secret History Of Cumbernauld and sold over 100 tickets. It was the sleeper hit of the season. He is included on the legendary Poems & Pints database. Hurrah! But his Pop Hell is the last bastion of Pop Resistance against rock dominating bores.
