Toadcast #77 – The Grouchcast
Sorry, I know this is going up late, but I have been working on the promotional material for the Jesus H. Foxx EP release. There’s a fair bit still to be done, but for the time being I am cautiously optimistic that it is going to look fucking brilliant. There will be a lot of painting to be done though, so putting the final touches on the thing is going to take bloody ages, but I think it is going to be easily worth it.
In other news, this week’s podcast is a prolonged chat with Euan (of Kays Lavelle, Trampoline, Steinberg Principle and Woodenbox fame) as a way of rounding up the excellent fortnight he spent feeding and changing Song, by Toad whilst Mrs. Toad and I were off gallivanting. So, rather than make his usual grouchy, joyless comments on posts I thought I might invite him to make his grouchy joyless comments on a podcast. So he came round and complained and complained and generally sulked his way through the whole thing, which was nice.
Oh alright, of course he didn’t. But it just wouldn’t be fun for me if I didn’t make fun of Euan for being grouchy long past the time anyone else has ceased to find it funny.
Oh stop sulking. You’re turning into him. All of you. Shame on you, people, shame on you. Cheer the fuck up for God’s sake.

I can’t believe you played the whole “Toad” song, hahaha
and with that I”m off to bed, later tomorrow xoxox
Well you came in and left with a bang! So nice to hear dear Euan’s thoughts on things from his own mouth. And that Kays song, wow…. I need that one for my blog, please?:) And I loved the There Will Be Fireworks as well… doesn’t that band sound better and better with each listen? good stuff! xoxo
With a bang? Oh yes, the ending. It gets to a point with these things where you just have to turn the damned computer off, full stop!
The Kays tune is phenomenal, I’m really looking forward to the album.
What the hell has happened to C&B? Have you banned him or something? It’s been ages since I’ve heard a peep from the man
No idea actually. The last email I had from him was recommending a really good band though, so maybe if I review them he’ll come back and say hello.
OSCAR THE GROUCH!!
I was listening to that earlier on.
My ideal man.
I see that someone bought/somehow obtained ‘Dark was the night’.
Good chatter and great tunes well done to both parties!!
Scars sounds great, Euan – so sparse it makes you hold your breath.. lovely.
Dark Was The Night is brilliant. One of the best compilation albums I’ve heard.
Shonagh, Dav, Tart…thanks.
