Chicken (or Fish?)
Sorry this has been so late coming, but we have spent the day recording the sixth Toad Session with the Pictish Trail. And now I am off to London to see some friends and speak to people about getting Meursault onto some bills down South. We’re also going to be talking to Pure Groove and Rough Trade about stocking the record, which should hopefully go alright.
So yes, I’m going to be sitting on a train down to London as you read this, leafing through magazines and trying to find people who might be interested in reviewing future Toad releases. There’s no rest for the wicked and I don’t even have time to write any more on this post either. DC will be posting his show tomorrow in place of the Toadcast, and I will be back properly functioning on Monday or Tuesday with a bit of luck. This week’s five and five songs have been chosen by Johnny Pictish, Fee, Gavin, myself and Dylan at the end of the Toad Session. I am now going to get pissed and fuck off down South. Have a good weekend Toadlings.
1. Who put the Ram in a a-ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
2. Ideal next Toad Session.
3. Whis is Irn-Bru orange?
4. Favourite daytime TV show for when you have a day off during the week.
5. Chicken or fish?

1. Le Tigre.
2. Someone I’ve never heard of. It’s more fun that way.
3. It’s Scottish. And it’s a beverage. Therefore, I think that’s all we need (and want) to know.
4. The television should never be switched on (I really should end the sentence there) before 8pm, but my girlfriend likes ‘Loose Women’. As a result, I generally fall out of love with her when she has a day off.
5. Dunno, I’ve never had sex with a fish.
Hardy-ha.
Baddum! Well done. This has gone out far too late, hasn’t it. Everyone will be at the pub by now. Ah well, Americans it’s down to you!
1. Rambo.
2. Tom Wai.. nah, I’d be too scared. Nick Ca.. nah, I’d be way too scared. Erm, how about the Builders & the Butchers? That would be fucking cool.
3. Because if it was green no-one would drink it.
4. Quincy! Although that’s from my uni days. Nowadays I still mist up for a little bit of Neighbours just for nostalgia’s sake.
5. Fish.
Good luck with Pure Groove who wouldn’t stock us.
Ok…
1. Wham!
2. Aberfeldy. Or Ex Lion Tamer. Or The Gillyflowers (not that I’m desperately trying to get more coverage for the artists on 17 Seconds Records, or anything. Oh no…)
3. Because it’s symbolic of the sectarianism in the Celtic Fringe. Nah, probably because it had to look as artificial as possible. And if it was luminous yellow no-one would drink it.
4. A day off during the week? Actually, neighbours, for old time’s sake.
5. Fish. Chicken have got evil eyes.
1) Bambi
2) now let me think…..oh yeah….how about The European Union from Glasgow
3) cos it is
4) likewise Quincy….tho these days i watch the News all the time if i’m off.
5) Chickpeas tonight darling
1. Jorrocks.
2. Popup.
3. What is this iron brew of which you speak? (n ys it splt in txt spk?)
4. I hate daytime television with the fire of a thousand suns…
5. Neither, I’m veggie (and no, vegetarians do not eat fish. That would be a pescetarian you’re thinking of, you gastronomic philistine)
…and Meursault might be coming to the big city, you say? That’s the best news ever!
And actually, where’s the Down The Tiny Steps session we were promised?
Where, indeed, are Down the Tiny Steps at all?
1. Chan-Chan-Jackie-Chan
2. The Trembling Bells
3. Becauase it gives Soldiers something to colour their piss flourescent when they run out of glo-sticks to drink.
4. Not really daytime (let’s say stupid AM o’clock), but Cageny & Lacy or Hill Street Blues – really getting into my reminiscent phase of late.
5. Do Quorn do Fish?
1. Gerry Goffin and Barry Mann.
2. Iggy Pop.
3. E110 (Sunset Yellow), and E124 (Ponceau 4R).
4. Back-to-back re-runs of Star Trek. Mainly Voyager and DS9.
5. Pizza.
1. I’m fairly sure it was Paul McCartney, circa 1970
2. Samantha Crain
3. It is the obviously the secretion of some Scottish troll and we all know they are orange inside and out
4. Hardball – I’m so in love with Chris Matthews it’s not even a joke.
5. We’ve been through this before Matthew, pussy just tastes like pussy. Just get over it already, old man!
xoxoxo
1. the one who put the bomp in the bompalompalomp
2. the small faces
3. Rust
4. I usually end up watching something deep and dark on dvd which would be much much better watched when it was actually deep and dark outside- I kind of ruined the blair witch project and reservoir dogs this way, sat on the floor, bright sunshine shining through the window.
5. Depends, really. At the risk of being a boring git (and to help make up for those very short answers to the first three which is not like me) I would refer you to this for a list of sustainable fish – there are lots of fishy things we really shouldn’t be eating. This is a literal point and not a chance for Ms Tart to have another pop.
i got a message via myspace saying that DTTS have split and or no longer!!!
Pish pish
What?! No more DTTS?
I’ve only just got into ‘em! Gutted!!
1. Showaddywaddy
2. Spangleshifters
3. Rust
4. Columbo. Obviously.
5. No.
The Tinies, bless ‘em, have been in mid-faff for ages. We had a session set up just before Meursault but they had to cancel it. It’s a shame, because they’ve done some great things, but Jonnie’s other band, Inspector Tapehead, are also really promising. Come along to the Voodoo Rooms on Thursday for proof.
Can someone zip and post the fence cdr they did then, cos I have no other way of getting hold of it, PLEASE?!
And if I could easily pop from north east fife to auld reekie tomorrow, i would…
thanks for the info matthew.
