The Waiting Room 17.12.08
‘iya, as my Kairdiff accented friend would say; only me.
Here it is, then. The last show before the last show before Christmas. Hasn’t the year simply zipped?
To assist the remainder of 2008 pass through you like last week’s Chinese takeout omlette, re-heated using only the breath of a cider-drunk Deutscher Schäferhund, this week’s offal will be spat out in the same manner as you coming across a crust of dead flies stuck to the bottom of a glass of home-made lemonade mid-swallow.
As per, then, I & TWoTH will stain the airwaves with jibber jabber not heard since Brendan Fraser, the actor, was asked to explain ‘irony’ during a press conference for his broken bottle rape of the celluloid artform via the medium of “Monkeybone”.
Once you’ve recovered from that delightful triple image donkey punch you’ll be able to tuck into such aural delights as: The Great Lake Swimmers, Delta Spirit, Ane Brun, The Thermals, Mitchell Museum, Bosque Brown, SoKo, The Strange Boys, The Duchess & The Duke, Meaghan Smith, Lex Land, Lindi Ortega, Mercy Choir, & the Spanish Inquisition that are the many, many more.
Thanks are due, once again, to Mr. Toad for allowing us to park our wide load in his driveway. Plus a big nod, elaborately crossed arms & a suck on the teeth stance to all of youse out there in listeningland what are coming back week on week. Ta very, muchly appreciated, thanks.
We don’t yet have a plan for our Christmas Eve show, but the New Year’s Eve 3hr bonanza will essentially be a run down of our favourite bits of musicary we’ve played throughout 2008. We’re hoping to feature a number of our friends (The Lord Dog Dylan, being one), between each track, talking about whatever comes to mind.
But that’s the almost immediate future. The very immediate future is pretty much right about now. Click on, then, fair fellows, click on.

There seem to be technical difficulties with the link fellas.
Fixed. And for the record, DC is a muppet. But then, you knew that already, didn’t you.
xoxox (as Tart might say)
Is referring to someone as The Lord Dog considered a compliment?
Given that the only Dylan I know is neither very lordly, nor some sort of mangy cur I can’t imagine whether it’s a compliment or just bonkers.
Are you sure it’s fixed? I still can’t open it.
Fucking arse. YES DEFINITELY NOW!
Seems DC ain’t the only muppet round these parts.
Treble Doh!s all round, eh Toad?
Dylan, ’tis a compliment. The Lord Dog. The Muff Master. The Lady Tamer. They all apply.
Nice Thermals track. I like them and I haven’t listened to them for a while. The Mitchell Museum is the name of the National Museum of Scotland, which is in Edinburgh.
I prefer my version – gives them an air of joie de vivre, n’est pas?
(please don’t come back & say “How(?)”)
Erm, that Soko song is, erm, well, lyrically creative shall we call it?
Lucy – what I fine song.
You disappoint me, Matthew. SoKo’s command of the filthier spectrum of the English language is top notch. Puts me in mind of the ’70s teleshow Mind Your Language in terms of its enforced naïveté, n’est pas?
