Live in Edinburgh This Week – 21st December 2008
Let’s get straight to the point here people, I feel like shit, I have been passed out in bed since Friday evening and I am not getting up any time soon, so this might end up being the least comprehensive preview of Edinburgh’s gig calendar that I’ve written all year. I have dragged my foetid carcass from its pit for half an hour to scribble this barely coherent couple of paragraphs and then I am going straight back there, and balls to the lot of you. If anyone has any gigs they think I’ve missed a/ I’d hardly be at all fucking surprised and b/ I don’t give a shit either. Just spam the comments to your hearts’ content and stop moaning.
Tuesday 23rd December 2008: Aberfeldy & The Gillyflowers at the Voodoo Rooms.
There’s another blog-turned-label in Edinburgh these days, and funnily enough neither Ed nor I had any idea of each other’s plans when we set our own machinations in motion. Well, Aberfeldy release Claire on Seventeen Seconds Records shortly, and this gig serves as something of a Christmas celebration. I’d love to make it along, but I have my doubts.
Aberfeldy – Slow Me Down

Thank you for taking the time to read what might just qualify as the worst post on Song, by Toad in years. I’m going back to bed. And I might watch Back to the Future.
Go back to bed! Sleep now for tomorrow is the pre parental visit CLEANING. With BLEACH and SCRUBBIES.
Thanks for the write-up. Please get well soon. Oh, and if anyone cannot make it to Edinburgh on tuesday night but wants to go to Glasgow they are playing there tonight, Monday 22 December at ABC2.

Errm… Sounds ominous Mrs Toad. Is that the house or Toad you’re talking about cleaning — sorry, CLEANING?
Either way, good luck Matthew — hope you feel much better soon and thanks for all the great music and wit over the course of the year (or at least since April, when I found SbT while looking for Tom Waits tour dates).
Winge, winge, winge.
Yeah, nic, when it’s capitalised it always ends up being even less fun than usual. And you know, that Tom Waits review was my most popular ever day on this site. I always wonder if people stick around after days like that, so it’s really nice to find out that you did.
DC – fuck off.
Oi – switch yer phone on you gimp.
Fuck off. I’m busy watching Muppets From Space. Get yer nose back to the grindstone, wench.
