Even before the alcoholic beating administered by Homegame began to subside, Ruth and I found ourselves in the Fresh Air studio with the exhausted and defeated Love.Stop.Repeat for a live session and a radio show which could barely lift its tired chops to the microphone.

The band have a new album out now, as well as a remix album, which given how gentle and acoustic their sound is sounds rather intriguing.

The session itself was lovely.  In fact, I am rather surprised by the quality of sound we get with no more than two shitty mics pointed vaguely in the direction of the performers.  We have a Loch Lomond one coming out shortly, but the station itself is now on an extended break until we return in the new academic year with a new Grand Vizier, the splendid Richard Vause.  Until then, that will be all the Toadly Fresh Air business there is to be found.

I am thinking about entering Toad and Ruth’s Toad and Ruth show into the Student Radio Awards as best specialist show, but given neither of us are students it seems to be cheating just a little bit.  Anyhow, we have the interview podcast below, all the session tracks as downloadable mp3s and then, at the bottom of the post, two more live session videos.
