Toadcast #95 – The Craigcast Pt.2

cragcast2-post I think it would be only fair to describe this podcast as a little bit messy.  We recorded it immediately after first Craigcast two weeks ago, and so by the end of it we were all fucking hammered.

I promise I have tried to edit out as much of the madness as I could, but it was difficult.  The problem with incoherent drunken rambling is there don’t tend to be a lot of natural breaks, so it was devilishly hard to cut down.

Anyhow, this won’t be the first or last time you listen to a load of mental old nonsense on the Toadcasts, so I am going to just have to wish you luck and let you get on with it.

Toadcast #93 – The Craigcast

cragcast-post I have a friend Craig who works in Waterstones and is an obsessive about old American folk music and, more specifically, blues.  He has been making Neil Meursault mix CDs for ages, which I’ve heard and consistently found myself asking what the hell I was listening to.

I usually hate the tedious collections of old blues music which seem to always adorn Uncut covers when they ask bands to name their formative influences, but some of the really scratchy old recordings Craig put on his CDs were amazing, so erm… this is the podcast I guess.

At last – someone who actually knows what he’s talking about!
