This time last week I was typing out a Friday Five and planning a couple of quite weekends before Away Game at the end of the month. I was thinking about maybe shopping for camping supplies.
In an odd turn of events, however, as you read this I’m standing in a field in Dorset at End Of The Road with M’So, the ‘Glowl and whichever other reprobates have shown up.
(As I actually type this it’s the day before yesterday at around 4pm. Weird, huh?!)
Anyway, it’s five time for you lot. Remember to delurk, and don’t worry if you don’t see your message pop up straight away, someone will get around to approving it soon enough.
1. Nicest surprise you’ve ever had.
2. Most fun you’ve had setting up a surprise for someone else.
3. What’s your dream road trip?
4. Have you ever had an unexpected turn of events that turned out okay in the end.
5. Pledge to do something you hadn’t planned this weekend. Tell us what it is now, then come back next week and tell us how it went.
The most enormous difficulty with recording this podcast was that it was monumentally, wonderfully, amazingly sunny and hot outside. So there we were, stuck in our house, trying to play songs and conduct an interview while we were all secretly (and not so secretly) longing to just be out in the back garden. Mrs. Toad was making burgers, you know. Gaaaaah!
I remember when FOUND recorded a show with Marc Riley recently and I got plenty of emails saying that they really weren’t very talkative. Which is odd really, because I didn’t entirely get that kind of impression as we recorded this session or about them in general, but then I listen back to it again and the first few interviewy segments really do take a while to get going. I guess it took a while for Ziggy (who I’d never met before) and myself to figure out exactly how to talk to one another and whether or not we really got on. So that whole dynamic makes for a really good podcast, which gets more and more interesting, from my point of view anyway, as the thing progresses.
They even hint at the mighty Cybraphon, their recent creation, but like a fool I don’t really press them on it too much, having no idea what a splendid great behemoth it was going to turn into.
As usual, all the videos are embedded below and can be seen at the Song, by Toad Vimeo on YouTube pages, along with a portfolio of photos by Dylan from Blueback Hotrod, and Fee on Flickr here. The session tracks can all be downloaded below, and the main interview podcast itself is immediately below. Have fun Toadlings. I am going to sleep like a freshly-slaughtered corpse.

I cognize that doing of emergent essays or narrations is ponderous and valueless process wholly. I don’t require routing uncommon literature, to tackle varied quotes and definitions, guiding to these operates. It is edit for me chiefly to trace essay writing service underground. The fascinating ordered projects are educated. I am precisely amazed and principally I have prepared marks.
Bloody hell.
