Toad 2.0
Toadcast #31 – The Newcast
There’s not much of a unifying theme to this podcast, but there are a healthy number of breaking tracks in the playlist, so I guess calling it the Newcast will suffice for want of anything more inspired.
There’s new tracks from the impending singles by Kid Canaveral and The Left Outsides, a good few new bands you’ve never heard of, a couple of JC’s selections for the Toad Records Launch Night and some of the tracks from the sampler that I gave away at the party itself.
There’s also the first Recorded and Produced by Toad song in the world: Fearing Lothian by Uhersky Brod. The band are friends of mine and we used the Toad Sessions recording equipment to put togethera demo for them. It’s the first time I’ve ever recorded anything, so I presume there must be all sorts of issues with it but, well, you’ve got to start somewhere. It’s a cracking song, whatever I’ve ended up doing to it.
So I hope you enjoy this rather disjointed collection of songs, because for all the lack of any real coherence it’s a good collection of songs nonetheless.

[...] with an .sitx file extension. Eh? Well it’s frustrating, but what I had to say about it in the last podcast was perhaps just a teensy-tinsy bit over the top. Just maybe. Listen [...]
Was just listening to a live DCW EP earlier today. Used to be part of my wider circle in my university days. Nice to see him getting some attention here.

Is it? I should move to Edinburgh.

Thanks for the great podcast! I listened to it while sitting on the bus and giggled which, for some reason, made people look at me oddly. Didn’t giggle at choice of the songs, mind you, that was brilliant as usual.
Batya, as it comes out, means “father” in Old Russian.
The Lucksmiths: Whay-hey!
