Toadcast #148 – The Slobcast
It’s not going to surprise anyone at all that I am being an absolute slob today, is it? Mrs. Toad got back from Australia around lunchtime, and after a few hours of pottering about she crashed out with jetlag, so I snuck off to record the podcast. I am sure that soon enough she will wake and start demanding attention and general servitude soon enough, so I better get this over with quickly.
After that I am going straight back to bed to watch stupid films while my sweetheart dozes by my side, awaking occasionally to tell me off for not being comfortable enough, or to send me to fetch her things, or to just swear at me for taking all the covers or some other such sweet nothings of the kind she is wont to come out with from time to time.

Had forgotten all about Shampoo. Love that song.
Me too. Because now most of my listening for pleasure is done on vinyl rather than digital, I haven’t actually listened to it for ages.
Still I bought the album on vinyl now, but I can’t find a copy of Ash Wednesday for less than thirty bloody quid, and even that’s second hand!
That Randolph’s Leap track is beautiful.
Pop fact.
They got their name from a rock formation on the River Findhorn near my hometown, Forres, where some old clan chief supposedly jumped from one side of the river to escape some foe.

Oh right. That’s rather cool. It never occurred to me to even wonder where the name came from for some reason.
