Every couple of weeks I sit down with a couple of gins and talk you through the new music that's caught my ears in the last fortnight. There'll be a few classics and a few mainstream bands but the focus will always be on the new, the emerging, the eclectic and the interesting.

Toadcast #16 - The Birthday Podcast
Morning you 'orrible lot. My wench is away being important once more. She said to me the other day when she was trying to skive off work due to a hangover: 'I can't go into work in a bad state, I handle money.' Haha, what bollocks. I love it when financial people get all delusional like that, so don't worry I set her straight. I calmly pointed out to her that if I fucked up my last job someone might have found a small metal implant buried in their spinal column. This means dead or paralysed. She stopped, fortunately.
'I handle money though.' Yeah well, I handle my penis and every last little sperm is a potential human life, so don't gimme that. The frustration's setting in again, can't you tell. This podcast has some news and some current things, and then explores the randomiser on my music library, doffing my cap to the recent Contrast Podcast episode which I was too slow to participate in. Gah.
It
is also my birthday on Monday, thirty-two since you ask, and we will be
down in London to celebrate the occasion with our Southern friends, so
there's a couple of birthday thingies in there too, most screamingly
obviously the first track of course. Enjoy Toadlings, enjoy.
