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 #7 - The Chillout Tent
Yes, we’re back and this time we’ve relaxed a little. There’s a bit less cussing and ranting in this podcast than usual - in fact virtually no ranting at all, which is probably as much of a surprise to me as it is to you.
I’m looking at late evening music this week because Mrs. Toad and I were recently talking about the Chillout craze which kicked off about six or seven years ago. It descended into electronic muzak unfortunately, but there were some good things in there at the beginning, so I thought I’d have a look at it. I’ve thrown in some stuff I find nice and eveningy and relaxing as well just to stop it becoming too tedious.
