Toad on Fresh Air, with Broken Records – Tuesday 26th May, 2009
This is the last Song, by Toad show on Fresh Air for this term – so the last one until about October time, basically. As the band are long time Toad friends, and as their long (loooong)-awaited debut album is being released on Monday, it seemed only fitting that Broken Records pop into the studio and have a chat about things, talk through the album itself (read: TOAD EXCLUSIVE!!!1!1 or something like that), and generally shoot the breeze.
To tune in, go to the Fresh Air homepage and click on the big Listen Now button on the left hand side, from about 6.30pm-8pm, UK time. As per usual, I’ll fill in the playlist below, and you can take the opportunity to leave compliments, questions and abuse in the comments section as you see fit.

Whee – pub!
is yr playlist filled?
Yup, indeed.
ok. there’s been a fingernail down the blackboard squeak every now & then
Damn, did I miss that ‘Boss’ fella getting played. Gutted..
DC – Yup, I think that might be the door.
Gill – There’s more!
Toady said A swear Word
i’m listening
No I fucking didn’t.
*cough*
you distinctly used the words ‘manky gash’ to describe Bonnie Tyler
ask the boys, when are they going to buy me a pint?
Toad, will you ask Ian if he has forgiven me?
Any plans to play in America?
Ballet is superior art dammit. If you can sit through the stuff!
Ballet is fucking great.
It keeps snotty fuckwits out of bars I want to go in.
Peej – I’ll ask them on air, probably easier
Are they coming to Boston?
a question also: would they like to share their thoughts on knowing the album had leaked pre release?
Nice one. See you for CMJ then.
Boston seems likely, if they’re going over for CMJ. You better say hello from me when they’re there.
DC – I’ll ask them now. Great question, about time we had some fucking professional shit happening around here.
Tell them I can get them into the Ballet. Or not…
Music as complex as theirs needs a studio. 10 tracks is a bit much for a room without proper acoustic shields and speakers to check for phase and bleed problems.
I think.
