Toadcast #41 – The Soulcast
This week’s Toadcast has no theme at all because, erm… well, frankly they’re difficult to come up with and therefore seem just a tiny little bit like hard work. So given I’m podcasting once a week now, I am not going to be arsed coming up with some immaculately scripted (ah ha haaa!) arrangement once every seven days, so this week it’s really just a brief tour of inbox fodder.
This weekend there are loads of good things happening, not least a performance by Mumford & Sons at the Voodoo Rooms, and a first look for me at what could potentially become an excellent new venue in Edinburgh. That’s a secret though, so no more details than that.
So, for now enjoy the Soulcast, so named for no better reason than that the first couple of songs have the word soul in the title. Piss-poor excuse really, isn’t it.

We’ve had this conversation before – but I don’t think you actually need to have a theme every week.
Just have themes on occasions when you can be arsed to think of one!
You’re just a big tease, aren’t you?
Soul, baby. soul. Yeah!
That Wilco track is superb. Looking forward to hearing the podcast tomorrow over the paper.
Thanks for your kind words about 17 Seconds and Aberfeldy, and indeed for playing them!
Ed
I actually just read Ed’s post on my way to admonishing you for letting Aberfeldy get away. That track is brilliant. When you release please make sure there is some means of getting their music to the other side of the pond. Lovely.
Wooden Box and Pale Young Gentlemen come in with superior offering too. Especially Young Gents. Really lovely bit of musicing.
Ben, the track should be available for download via US iTunes and similar.
Love the Deerhof track too, btw Matthew.
The single is already available to download on iTunes in the UK from today. Matthew a free copy of the 7″ will be making its’ way across town to you just as soon as we have got them…
