Toadcast #220 – The Foolcast
April Fool’s Day really does bore me to tears. The jokes are so weak and obvious most of the time that they really are pointless, although Avalanche’s Withered Hand futon did make me laugh.
It’s the forced bonhomie which I find the most tedious, I have to confess. ‘Oh yes, ha ha, very funny, well done you, gosh how everso fucking hilarious’.
And then just occasionally you hear news, like Viva Brother splitting up which, whilst it is painfully obviously an April Fool, is just too close to real, actual good news we’d actually all want to hear to cause any real merriment.
And then there’s the Republican candidates for the presidency of the United States. Tragic, frightening, comical, and depressing. And sadly not an April Fool’s joke either.

Ok I’ll kick this off
Saw Florence and her mates in Amsterdam tonight and they were ok.
Turns out they are top people too
Fool or not?
Viva Brother is seemingly true. I’d heard a wee while ago through a pal at Geffen that they were getting dropped. 40,000 albums wasn’t enough. Yes, that’s how many people bought their album *slaps forehead*
Only 34in the charts no wonder they got booted…you need to have a word with some of the slackers on your team Matthew
Florence and the Machine, a great bunch of lads? Now who’d have thought it? Still fucking shit though.
And Viva Brother not an April Fool? Well well, some good news today after all. Not that anyone will really care one way or another, I suppose. Which is probably a large part of the problem.
Ok the gig was a bit dull even with synchronised Dutch clapping. But to a man and women….you’d have a beer with them.
See what I mean. The shite ones are always nice!
Whoa. All their songs are based around Friends?! That’s pretty fun! I’ll have to check out that Sex Hands album!
The Moist Maker was from a season 5 episode, i believe. Why don’t I look it up…
yes. season 5
Whats this Lil Daggers split 7″ talk? Futher info would be greatly appreciated!
They have nearly finished their song. So the single should be out in something like July or September, depending when I get my shit together.
That linguistic bollocks with the Magic Eye titles was ridiculous. Get over yourself.
What? When I try and pronounce stuff like that it just sounds silly – I just have the wrong accent for it and it sounds ridiculous, awkward and forced. This isn’t a criticism of the song titles, just that given how I speak I just can’t say them right.
If this hurts your feelings then I suggest perhaps you might be the one who needs to get over himself.
And try not to be a cock in future.
I think he might mean about the tagging? Either way, lad’s a cock.
