Well folks, tonight I get my revenge. You all know DC -One Half of Drunk Country – the foul-mouthed miscreant who is forever coming on this site and ruining my thoughtful and sophisticated analysis with vulgar outbursts and showers of obscenity and invective? And the one who did THAT!!–> to my lovely drawings? Well tonight it’s my turn to chuck a spanner into his works for a change.

DC, as well as being an International Man of Mystery, presents the splendid radio show that is The Waiting Room. He’s done it with Hope, he’s done it with Mr. Fisk, he’s done it with The Mouse, and now he’s doing it with, erm, no… perhaps this sentence isn’t quite going where I’d intended. Well, tonight I am making the first of what will hopefully become regular appearances on his show with a little segment called Song, by Toad Presents… where I pick four tracks and tell DC’s horrified listeners about what I’ve chosen to oil their eardrums with and why. Given the distinctly cool reception that Fisk character has given my selections when DC has presented them himself, my little slot may be met with a chorus of boos, but we’ll see.

In any case, those of you of an internet radio bent can catch the show tonight from 10pm to midnight GMT on Error FM, and those of you who prefer to your music cast in pods can download the show from here as of some time tomorrow. This is pencilled in to be a weekly feature and, although this week I’ve mostly used Song, by Toad tracks, I will try not to duplicate songs I have posted here or used on my own podcasts in future, so please do stop by and have a listen.

In other news, the Contrast Podcast turned 100 this week. Tim has a celebratory episode up, to which I have contributed Carlton Rees’s version of 99½ Won’t Do. It’s an amazing job that Tim does, pulling all that together so please pop over and have a listen. People giving their time to other folk in that sort of way is one of the best things about the internet, and Tim’s project is one of the best and most well-loved going, so swing by and give it a go.

Here’s another version of 99½ Won’t Do, this time by Detroit’s throatiest warblers, The Detroit Cobras:
