Toadcast #75 - The Bone Idlecast

Well, we are nearing the end of our time in Puglia.  We're spending a couple of days in or near Napoli before we fly back on Sunday, presumably troughing like total pigs, rather than paying all that much attention to culture and all that bobbins.

Mrs. Toad is doing Sudoku and complaining about the 'wrong sort of paper'.  I kid you not, it's just like British fucking Rail and their 'wrong type of snow', but she insists it's just for that reason that she can't solve them, not because they're too hard.  Personally I find myself wondering if 'evil' is used to describe the comments one's spouse will inevitably make when you fail to complete it, rather than the actual difficulty of the Sudoku puzzle itself.

So yes, we have done the lazing about and there are now a few days of actually doing shit in between us and a return to the damp splendour of the British Isles.  I suppose this is what you're supposed to do on holiday - pay attention to the country you're in and return, eventually - but honestly, another week of doing bollocks-all wouldn't hurt anyone would it?

Toadcast #74 - The Poolcast

Mrs. Toad and I might be gallivanting about the Italian countryside, but we are still thinking of you, our loyal Toadlings. We may be relaxing by the pool, but we understand that life might not be quite so easy for those of you at home. Actually, fuck it, life is never this easy for us either...

Toadcast #73 - The Holiday Podcast

This is not so much the holiday podcast as the pre-holiday podcast,

because for all we are away now, I recorded this on Thursday night

before going away, as we prepare ourselves for the unspeakable burden

of doing absolutely fuck all for two weeks.

I am taking a pile of...

Toadcast #72 - The Slowcast

This is called the Slowcast because there are so many songs and,

more commonly, whole albums out there which I took ages and ages to get

into, and for no really obvious reason.

There are several

reasons, I guess: how familiar a sound is, your emotional state at the...

Toadcast #71 - The Tough Lovecast

Oh dear god almighty I have a hangover.  Fucking bastard music

people.  Last night there was gigging and drinking and wandering the

streets of a most balmy and pleasant Edinburgh with an assortment of

miscreants and other ne'er-do-wells.  We saw Honeytrap and Meursault...

Toadcast #70 - The Snobcast

This week I am piling on the music snobbery.  Oh, okay, I'm not

really - if anything I'm undermining it with some truly guilty

pleasures.  There's not much modern fluffy pop music which I happen to

enjoy despite my snobbery because... well, because I just don't think...
