What a lovely, lovely podcast this is. No Mrs. Toad this week
(yeah, yeah, I know, fuck off the lot of you) partly because she is
away in the States being important and businesslike and so forth and
partly because you are all a bunch of cunts for liking her best, you
shower of ungrateful bastards.
Anyway, needless alienation of
one's audience aside, I am a little tired of doing themed podcasts.
Nothing particularly pressing leapt to mind this month so I thought I'd
just throw on a pile of stuff I was really enjoying and sod having a
coherent theme - that's for the professionals anyway. So it's just a
big old mish-mash of stuff I'm enjoying at the moment, but I think it's
quite a good playlist for all that.
There are actually a couple of songs chosen for other
women in my life! Oh shock horror! One is our reception lady here at
work who revealed a surprisingly excellent vinyl collection when a few
of us went round to her place after a staff night out recently,
including Pavement and The Pixies. Who would have thought it! The
other lady song is from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, after I was entirely
charmed by the niece of our next door neighbour who apparently used to
go out with their keyboard player. She is trying to move to New York
at the moment actually, where there are plans to play fiddle and harp
on the new Au Revoir Simone album, which is splendid news. Apparently
this one is to be more folky than the last, which bodes very well
indeed. So go Ruth! I can't wait to hear it.
talking about ze laydees now of course, before I get skelped by my
lovely lady. Not one of of 'em a patch on the sparkling gem that is
the delectable Mrs. Toad of course, not even close!
