Toadcast #25 – The Quickcast
There’s only time for a real quickie this week as I am working my hairy little buttocks off on the Broken Records stuff at the moment. Still, in your insatiable thirst for pointless, self-indulgent rambling I was sure you’d want to listen to something splendid in the meantime.
There’s no underlying theme to anything either I’m afraid, just me rattling on about some current and very interesting music, as well as a couple of confessions so shocking you may never come back here again. Looking at the playlist, I’m sure you can guess which ones they are.
So good luck with this, and I am already looking forward to the next one.

Yes, you did read that correctly. Meat Loaf. Fuck off.
It could be worse.
There’s a favourite Canadian blogger of mine who has just posted a Kajagoogoo song…..
Horaay Meatloaf. Great live by the way. How’s that for a confession?
You’re right about Edwyn’s birthplace. But his family saw sense and moved west not long after…
Incidentally Malcolm Ross is the only bloke who can boast that he was at one time or another a member of all three Scottish bands (Josef K, Orange Juice and Aztec Camera) that were on Postcard Records.
That really is something of a pedigree. Leo from The Low Miffs reckons he might be able to ‘introduce’ me to Malcolm for either an interview or a chat or something like that. This would be very cool, although I think I need to accumulate a little more knowledge to go with my childlike enthusiasm before I embark on something like that.
“Yes, you did read that correctly. Meat Loaf.”
Took the words right out of my mouth. Har har.
Grrr. You fuckers should show me some more goddam respect around here.
Eh…if you do meet Malcolm……what’s the chances of it being a double-headed interview????
I feel a Toad Session coming on! You’d pop round to have some beers and record one, wouldn’t you JC?
