Toad on Fresh Air – 2nd December 2009
Unfortunately due to technological disasters there was no recording, and not even any broadcasting, of last week’s Mammoeth session I’m afraid. So I’d like to apologise to Russell, and promise to get him back in next year at the first available opportunity to have another go. I suppose it’s no consolation to any of you for me to tell you that he was really good? No, thought not.
As for this week, we were supposed to have Dan from Withered Hand and Neil from Meursault doing a joint session, because they are recording a joint EP in the near future and it seemed like a nice idea. Dan is unable to make it unfortunately, so you will have to make do with Neil I’m afraid. Fortunately the lad can sing a bit so it’s unlikely to ruin your evening.
As per usual the playlist below will be updated live as we go along, and the comments section will be the best place for all your usual abuse/sniping/snide remarks.

Glad it’s working this week.
Meursault will have two tracks in my 2009 Festive Fifty, and Jesus H. Foxx will have one, watch this space.
Hope you’re well, Ed
A joint EP? I got all kinds of excited then.
I’m head over heels for the new meursault songs.
neil nearly blew my speakers with that mighty foghorn o his. ‘Heaven Waits’ I heard a few years back I think. We use to sit and play our songs to each other so it might’ve been then….really liked ‘what you don’t have’…And that Wounded Knee song was immense, although the one on his myspace doesn’t have all the vocal layers on it which I’m a bit miffed at-I want to hear it again!
Wow, thanks Ed. When are you publishing yours? I think I’ll do mine over the week before Christmas.
Agnes, yep, but it will probably only be recorded in March.
Matthew, indeed. Sound nice, eh. I really struggled to keep control of the sound, with old foghorn lungs in the studio, but hopefully it sounded vaguely alright.
Am going to try and do mine in the next forty-eight hours. It has taken forever to narrow the tracks down and I’m still trying to decide on the final order…
Long time reader of the blog, first time listener of the show..and poster for that matter. Always lovely to hear acoustic Meursault, think I’ve seen them unplugged more times than plugged in. New songs are a winner.
Also you have a great radio voice Matthew. Easy on the ear. You should consider recording some audio books.
Is there any way to listen to this retrospectively? Had a quick scan of the site and found nothing.
Not really no, but I will be editing out the songs and posting just the Meursault interview and session tracks in the new year, when the next broadcast starts.
Or maybe sooner if you beg nicely.
sooner, please. pretty please? with sugar on top….
Top news, looking forward to it!
Matthew,
You also have a great face for radio.
I have a great radio.
Fuckwits.
Also you have a great radio voice Matthew. Easy on the ear.
