But, still... The Violent Femmes? Blister In The Sun? No? Ubiquitous punk folk that has soundtracked countless indie films (not to mention Grosse Point Blank)? All since 1993, m'lad...

I made sure I remembered to plug in my iPod last night to charge it up and download this to listen to on the bus this morning.

I forgot to make sure I remembered to pick up my iPod this morning before I left.

Cock.

I did remember my lunch though, leftovers of an Indian rice pilaf thing I made last night. Very nice.

Nice one. I was thinking of doing collaborative Toad Sessions in future, should it be an option. Might be hard to organise, but what do you reckon?

I came across this on You Tube, one of the famous Black Cab Sessions with Langhorne Slim and Johnny Flynn.

Pretty good stuff I reckon, for a cab.

Mate, I got no music at all from my peers until I moved to the UK in 1993. The most I got was a cousin who would post me a mix tape from time to time, so my broader musical awareness, beyond my Dad’s Dylan and the Band and Waits and so on, only started at age 17.

you don’t know The Violent Femmes? Fucking hell. You need to burn your indie collection NOW. All that Blur has warped your aural radar.
