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 #5 - Woo hoo JC!
More errant podcastery from your favourite slippery green amphibian. This week I find myself yelling abuse at JC who writes a terrible blog called The Vinyl Villain and is currently stranded in Toronto for a few months, far away from his Glasgow home. JC was pretty much the first blogger to take any interest in Song, by Toad in it's formative days and as I such I always feel rather grateful for the encouragement Jim showed me back when I was starting out.
As such I thought I'd play a few songs from his favourite groups, a couple of things he's brought us in the last few months and some songs about missing folk, seeing as he'll presumably be pining like a teenager for the lovely Mrs. Villain. Well, that or masturbating himself into a zinc-deficient coma, of course.
Either way, hope you're enjoying yourself JC. Here's some bloody songs for ya!
