Toadcast #81 – The Mulecast
Helloooo people. This morning the Toadcast comes to you from Leith. There were beers and there was a fuckload of incoherent rambling, and it ran way over time but, erm, who really cares?
This week I went to visit my crippled friend Steven (v? ph?) Kearney in Leith and we recorded a podcast in his house prattling on about all the usual nonsense. He got all jumpy about sound quality, omitting to notice the fact that the Toadcasts are the most incredibly badly recorded show on the interwaves. Honestly, why would this week be the one single week it suddenly didn’t sound like shit?
Still, Steven has recently started his own podcast, leading on from his Fresh Air show Dylan and the Mule. It’s only one episode down, but it sounds very promising indeed, so with a bit of luck there could be very good things coming from that part of the world this year. Me, I just desperately need a sleep. Night night Toadlings.
I will probably be gawping at the wonderful Cybraphon by the time you read this. With a hangover.

That effect on the Buster Fantastic track sounds like a it’s fiddle going through some mental distortion pedal or other.
Dylan, is that Dylan you Dylan? As in and the mule Dylan?
Nope, different Dylan. One with a broken leg, but we get to that later in the podcast.
Oh, I see. Well, I will listen in later after this week’s exciting episode of The Waiting Room over at http://www.WOXY.com, which is on air now (8am ET / 1pm BST) & tomorrow, Sunday (4pm ET / 9pm BST).
SPAM!
Actually I’m a bit behind on Waiting Rooms at the moment – just downloaded four to my iPod.
FOUR!!! He lets you get away with not hearing that many in a row does he? I’ll not disclose what happened to me the last time two had gone by without my comment. I fear a repeat performance of his wrath. Needless to say, I think I’ve got him convinced by now that I’m finding them quite addicting, … quite addicting indeed!
Tart. In your box.
Darlin’ it’s only fair after leaving fanny sherbet over at Love Shack! Now, talk about addicting!
The Palace Flophouse?
Tell me that’s not a real band name.
Yep, serious as cancer.
