Toadcast #14 – Total Self-Indugence
What a lovely, lovely podcast this is. No Mrs. Toad this week (yeah, yeah, I know, fuck off the lot of you) partly because she is away in the States being important and businesslike and so forth and partly because you are all a bunch of cunts for liking her best, you shower of ungrateful bastards.
Anyway, needless alienation of one’s audience aside, I am a little tired of doing themed podcasts. Nothing particularly pressing leapt to mind this month so I thought I’d just throw on a pile of stuff I was really enjoying and sod having a coherent theme – that’s for the professionals anyway. So it’s just a big old mish-mash of stuff I’m enjoying at the moment, but I think it’s quite a good playlist for all that.
There are actually a couple of songs chosen for other women in my life! Oh shock horror! One is our reception lady here at work who revealed a surprisingly excellent vinyl collection when a few of us went round to her place after a staff night out recently, including Pavement and The Pixies. Who would have thought it! The other lady song is from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, after I was entirely charmed by the niece of our next door neighbour who apparently used to go out with their keyboard player. She is trying to move to New York at the moment actually, where there are plans to play fiddle and harp on the new Au Revoir Simone album, which is splendid news. Apparently this one is to be more folky than the last, which bodes very well indeed. So go Ruth! I can’t wait to hear it.
Better stop talking about ze laydees now of course, before I get skelped by my lovely lady. Not one of of ‘em a patch on the sparkling gem that is the delectable Mrs. Toad of course, not even close! *ahem*

Hey, the podcast cuts off right before the Mabuses.
my computer really hates you podcasts. I have to listen to them with the screen all blurred and crashed.
I was also going to see the white stripes on their tour when they were in manchester, it was my birthday present! *sniffs*
And Shotter’s Nation isn’t crap!
*youR podcasts even. I can spell, I just can’t type.
Hmm, I think the little Java player might be quite heavy on the processor. Are you using Explorer or Firefox? I think Explorer really doesn’t like it. The problem is, I honestly don’t know what better to use, and given it’s a Wordpress plugin I really think I might struggle to find one better. Unless I was actually good at coding of course, which I’m not.
Hannah I don’t think I ever said it was crap. I said I liked it, although there were songs I thought weren’t very good. You even read and commented on my review on this very site – I said it was good!
Anon – maybe it hadn’t all loaded or maybe it didn’t download properly, because I’ve just played it on the little player here and had no problems.
you said parts of it were crap, which counts as calling it crap. I saw the video for “french dog blues” today with little cartoon babyshambles. I’m using aol which just hates everything.
Counts as calling it crap???? Lord woman, I called parts of Tom Waits’ last album crap and I am as worshipful a Waits acolyte as it gets. If you think I was harsh, just wait ’til you read some really harsh criticism!
And you didn’t even have a theme.
Jesus lass, but I played some really good songs! God you lot are difficult to please. Maybe I should send round flunkies to massage your feet and feed you grapes as you listen to it the next time I do a podcast
Hi Matthew,
Well I think it’s a cracking Toadcast.
And thanks a lot for the very kind words.
Just one little thing…
Me and the ever lovely Liz are living in the Isle of Man. Not the piggin’ Isle of Wight.
Liz say’s apologise or suffer the wrath of the Manx Mafia…!!!!
Or something.
But as I said, cracking.
And I think it’s a good place to be, forgetting you have a normal 9-5 job, so keep up the great work.
And great to hear old Kenneth, superb.

When’s the wife back?
Not bloody soon enough!
oooh, a song for me…how very wonderful. thankyou!
