Toad on Fresh Air – 24th March 2011
So, I may be jetlagged to all fuck, but why not get on Fresh Air Radio and pass my incoherence onto you. Hell, what could possibly be more entertaining than listening to me almost fall asleep whilst introducing songs?
Actually, it will probably work in everyone’s favour actually, as rather than the usual bollocks talking, I will probably end up playing more songs and chattering far less in between, which will presumably be much more entertaining for those of you actually listening.
I will also be joined by Olaf Furniss of Born to be Wide, who will be introducing us to lineup for Wide Days, which takes place on the 7th April 2011 at Teviot House.
Live from 8pm UK time: click here to listen.
As per usual, feel free to chip in in the comments below, and I will be adding the playlist as we go along.
1. Pavement – Spit on a Stranger
2. Preston School of Industry – Straits of Magellan
3. Sparkelhorse – Happy Pig (Live)
4. The National – Think You Can Wait (with Sharon Van Etten)
5. Lady Lazarus – Fighting Words and Fists
6. New Animal – All I Want is Gone
7. My Teenage Stride – The Genie of New Jersey

Hello. I’d tune in to the Black Sabbath/Metallica.Kylie episode for sure.

Alright you big pair of bawbags!
I’m drunk on red wine and Matthew and Olaf are on the radio.
Heheh! Random abuse time!
Olaf’s mic is clipping a bit.
Don’t you PFL anything anymore?
Amateur night…
I do PFL, it’s just that he is not that good at maintaining a consistent distance between his gob and the microphone.
Steven, you are a helpful, helpful man. When’s that gig of yours this weekend, and I shall give it a plug in return!
He can get quite animated.
I liked Lady Lazarus. I missed the chat about the National song, was having a delicious (If I do say so myself) pasta bake with aubergines, courgettes and chunks of salami, topped with a creamy cheese sauce. What opinions did you arrive at?
Like most National songs, I expect I shall like it in about six months!
We are in Whistle Binkies on Sunday at about 9:30pm. Thanks
Are you both pissed?!!
And it is free.
Steven’s gig is Supermarionation at Whistle Binkies on Saturday.
I like to confuse matters by chipping in.
I can’t make Twitter work!!
Dylan, your pasta bake sounds brilliant.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, its Sunday.

You know Arthur Lowe who played Captain Mainwaring in Dad’s Army?
Well, of all the most unlikely people, in an early seventies movie called O Lucky Man! he remarkeably appeared next to Malcolm MacDowell, erm.. blacked up.
Balls, it is Sunday. I should have consulted my own damn guide.
Why, thank you, Jim (re: pasta bake).
There’s loads of leftovers. I had my flatmate and her sister round, but I can only cook in quantities for 6 – 8 people.
That’s always the way with anything pasta or rice-related.

waving hello from Arlington…listening as I settle in for an evening of work!
Thanks man. Interesting fact: Two-thirds of Supermarionation’s PhDs were supervised by Murray Campbell who curates said museum of odd instruments.
Or not…
Someone from Fredericksburg too. The Northern Virginia Toad posse!
Steven, how many PhDs in one band? Is there a record for this sort of thing? There should be!
C&B, Lauree, thanks for saying hello. A very small US following, but worryingly localised. Are you two members of some sort of weird cult or something?
Are you two members of some sort of weird cult or something?
We both read this blog. Does that answer your question?
By American standards, that’s feeble.
We only have one PhD each, surely that’s reasonable?
Beats religion.
the cult of music and mayhem, perhaps!
but I do believe I owe you (or vic) a margarita or two after Austin. it was all a blur.
The Scots may have a reputation for being cheap, but I have never known one who remembers if you owe them a drink or not! My pleasure – was an excellent evening. All the more so because I resisted the urge to bowl.
