These people are not nice. They are entitled to political opinions, as is everyone else, but they have no respect for the lives of others who disagree with them. Their chants are very close to hate speech, and as music goes, even for eclectic it's pretty rubbish.
Bill usually tries to stay politically neutral with his comments, but on this occasion, he has let himself and others down.

"Bill Goldsmith (the founder) curates the music. While they play a wide variety of music that may include songs with adult themes, they generally avoid songs with excessive, gratuitous, or "radio-unfriendly" profanity."

Desperate times call for desperate measures. 
Punk had its place 50 years ago, and seems to be needed again. Its about time that artists stand up and write protest songs. Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen can't be the only ones today.
But on the flipside, the 80s gave us New Wave, happy music, which is needed too.

I'm pretty sure this is the very first song with Gaelic lyrics I have ever heard since Enya. And it's probably about the most different possible song from Enya as well…

"Sucking..."  yep, that's what we've been saying at our house for the past decade

As Desiderata states: "Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit"Openhab: Rule 'Skip_Tracks' has been updated.

Don’t listen to the haters, Bill! Keep pushing us in new directions and making the mix fresh (even if well grounded in the quality classics most of us know and love).

Kneecapping was not the sole province of the British Army, the IRA  was equally prone to use the technique. The only good thing to come out of it was that Irish surgeons became the best in the world at rebuilding knees, developing  new techniques.

I quite enjoy this. First I've listened to Kneecap. Thanks, Bill!

This is way better than a 4

Deserves to be kept in the mix

I was almost ready to give this a 1 until I heard "Netanyahu's Bitch..." and then I started reading the rest of the lyrics.  OK... I'll give it a fair shake. 

I love that the skip button gives Bill license to drop the surprises like this into the main mix. I don't contribute monthly to get a predictable music stream.

I f*&King LOVE this! Enjoy something new! Hell yeah.

All of the lyrics translated to English.

It should not be accepted, there is no goodness
In their politics for you and me
Should not be accepted, belly of the beast
I'm hungry again, Fenian overseas

I'm sick of being constantly switched on
How come it's always on me
To be sortin' everything? Run along fuck sake
I'm sick of you cunts
That's it I'm goin' off the grid in the countryside (Hey!)
To Rath Chairn green Meath
If you see me in the street there's nothin' to see
I'm goin' for a chowder and a dip in the sea
And a pint of black cider that's a little bit of me

Kneecap always fillin' the void
I just want to do nothing just chill with the boys
But I've got to get strange, makin' some noise
Doing a politician's job that they're tryna avoid

You're not gettin' away with fuck all
You're not gettin' away with doin' nothin'
We will not forget these people
You think we'd move on and forget what happened?
No, fuck Keir Starmer
Netanyahu's bitch and genocide armer
Better off as compost for farmers
Every time I watch I cringe and I'm embarrassed

It will never or now be my mindset
No escapin' it appeared on your phone
I'm not willing to sit on my ass
Twiddlin' thumbs, when folks lose their home

It should not be accepted, there is no goodness
In their politics for you and me
Should not be accepted, belly of the beast
I'm hungry again, Fenian overseas

It should not be accepted, there is no goodness
In their politics for you and me
Should not be accepted, belly of the beast
I'm hungry again, Fenian overseas

An old story and a rust on it
Sucking America's penis
Wanting attention and a few pounds
Oh man, you're a silly wee
An old story and a rust on it
Sucking America's penis
Wanting attention and a few pounds
Oh man, you're a silly wee

You're just a tory, dressed in Labour clothin'
Never seen a cunt so borin', with a restin' face of loathin'
Personality stolen, look a constant state of condolence
Your face tells a story, like there's washing to be folded

They don't understand who we are
You were popular way back when
People did whatever they want
Nobody stood in their way
That's colonial cringe
Now we're lookin back-paid
Wanting everything back
The Six Counties and the artifacts
We'll be takin all that
Look mate, the paddies are back
Your kingdom is over
And that's a fact

It should not be accepted, there is no goodness
In their politics for you and me
Should not be accepted, belly of the beast
I'm hungry again, Fenian overseas

It should not be accepted, there is no goodness
In their politics for you and me
Should not be accepted, belly of the beast
I'm hungry again, Fenian overseas

And I thought I was on the Mellow Mix next thing you know I'm playing drums along with this. lol What did they say anyway? Rules, yeah just like everything else right now. In question.

I'm not rating this a "2" because it's controversial, but because as a matter of taste I'm not interested in hearing it again.  And I'm glad the "skip" button exists when songs like this appear in the stream.

Was gonna rag on this one but William's comments about it being the time to break all the rules was spot on, and the lyrics are great. Make it an 8, chief. 

I like it..Fuck it!!!

Appropriate comments about breaking rules, after playing Liars Tale, Bill.  I still rated it quite low, but have no issues with breaking through tradition

Pretty wild stuff!

8 for the music, 10 for the sentiment.
Edit: Williams commentary is SPOT ON (as usual) 

Kneecap! Holy f—

Hey here's JFW with Móglaí Bap Oct. 2025

Thank you, William, DJ and Music Curator, for also playing these controversial pieces. For me it's okay if you prefer playing them in the middle of US-night as that allows me to hear it in the morning! 

I am pleasantly shocked to hear Kneecap on Radio Paradise. Thank you Bill!! 

First time I've been first, I think.  
Interesting, new, lots of energy, topical.
I think I maybe need to hear it again before I can rate it properly.

Haha yes blaming you William!

I'm guessing 'controversial' might be an understatement?

Bit of whiplash in tone from Springsteen to this. On its own it's probably fine, but I don't know how well it fits in the flow of the stream...
