Toadcast #190 – The Snoozecast

Sep 3, 2011, 10:03am Song, by Toad
Toadcast #190 – The Snoozecast Snooze! Yes, a genuine, proper weekend snooze was had this morning and it was fucking amaaaaazing! I haven't actually had the chance to lazily sleep in for fucking months and it was an enormous pleasure. And not even a guilty one, because I genuinely don't have to rush about being efficient today. Awesome! This week's podcast contains a fair bit of plugging, I have to confess. Not all for myself though. I plug the Kurt Vile tour, Jonnie Common's Deskjob as well as his new album, the new Oates Field album and the new album by [...]

Adam Balbo – Refried Nostaligia

Aug 23, 2011, 1:37pm Song, by Toad
Adam Balbo – Refried Nostaligia I am a long-time Adam Balbo fan, but I haven't actually heard from him for a long time, so it was a genuinely pleasant surprise to get and email the other week about his new album, Refried Nostalgia . The title hints at the contents, with this being an album composed largely of re-recordings, and a couple of covers, all done with a full rock band this time, instead of the more sparse home recorded style I am more used to from Adam. Bands really shouldn't be allowed to write their own PR though, because [...]

Friday Freebies

Jul 1, 2011, 8:00am Peenko
Friday Freebies The Short Waves This weeks freebies might be a bit short of bands that you might have heard of, that's not to say that the quality has dipped, far from it in fact. The Short Waves would be a good example of something that you've not heard of, but it's definitely worthy of your attention. Their Stutter EP was apparently recorded on a laptop in a house in Falkirk over the space of two weeks and it sounds fucking ace to me. Check it out for yourself on their Bandcamp where you can find it as [...]

Friday Wants its Fucking Bed

Jul 30, 2010, 7:03am Song, by Toad
Friday Wants its Fucking Bed Oooft. It has been a heavy week, and oddly enough I am going to be taking the weekend as an opportunity not to drink, which is a bit backwards. But then, that's how these things go sometimes I guess. The good thing about my current job of course, is that I don't have to be all that professional. So instead of sitting at a desk trying to look like I'm being efficient this afternoon, I can put a movie on talk shite on the Friday Fives and fold Cold Seeds inserts. It's work, of course, and it does [...]

No One Showed Up For Adam Balbo's Pity Party.

Jun 27, 2010, 10:14pm Radio Free Chicago
No One Showed Up For Adam Balbo's Pity Party. Everyone bums out from time to time and I'm no different. I know that after emerging from a few crazy days, I tend to find my head more than just a bit jumbled and barricading myself away from everyone and keeping only the company of records is the best way for me to clear my mind. It probably goes without saying that I was going through just that exact situation today, and when I was having trouble settling on an LP to either lift my spirits or console my sad-sack heart, [...]

Lo-Fi Guy

Jun 17, 2010, 12:59pm The Devil Has The Best Tuna
Lo-Fi Guy Adam Balbo From: San Francisco, United States Adam Balbo creates anti folk with his tongue firmly embedded into cheek and the irony dial turned up high. With songs about stains on his shirt ( Stain On My Shirt ), walking to his local park ( Sunny Day ) and his pity party ( The Girl At My Pity Party ) he sounds like a self deprecating Kimya Dawson relaying the trials, [...]

Ash Reiter – "Paper Diamonds"

Apr 21, 2010, 4:16pm The Bay Bridged

The album's release has garnered some critical attention , as has her live show . Ash Reiter - "Paper Diamonds" Reiter has a weekend of nearby performances - one to benefit the Chilean earthquake victims in Berkeley, and another with local songwriters, one being the Simon Joyner-meets-Adam Green soloist, Adam Balbo .

Snippets

Aug 14, 2009, 8:29am It All Started With Carbon Monoxide
This week was so busy that I had hardly any time to listen to anything properly, including three recent album purchases. Hopefully in the next week or so I might have a chance to review The Antler's Hospice , Other Lives self-titled offering and the new record from Perth's Little Birdy. Until then, you'll need to make do with these snippets that I should've shared earlier in the week. I've been meaning to check out local Melbourne act Little Red for ages now, ever since I heard 'Coca Cola' played on Triple J on the [...]

Adam Balbo - Fix

Jun 9, 2009, 7:25am Song, by Toad
Adam Balbo - Fix Adam Balbo comes across for all the world as an exiled New York anti-folker. His music settles slap bang in the middle of territory most well known for the likes of Jeffrey Lewis and Lach, and I am hence just a little surprised why Balbo himself doesn't get anything like the same amount of credit. It's possible there isn't a similar mutual-reinforcement society in San Francisco to the famous one in New York, but that sounds unlikely. And really, if you want to know what I am talking about, then this might not be the best album to [...]

Toadcast #71 - The Tough Lovecast

May 30, 2009, 7:51am Song, by Toad
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 play at Sneaky Pete's - I was recording this podcast, hence late for X-Lion Tamer, sorry to both Ed and Tony - and it was fucking amazing. And after that there was drinking. Fuck me there was lots of drinking. And then I came home and went into the local all night shop and purchased [...]

Adam Balbo

May 26, 2009, 8:31pm The Glorious Hum
Adam Balbo "No one showed up for my pity party except for you And you even brought cake." Adam Balbo's music, is to say the least, adorable. He'd fit in with the entirety of the Juno soundtrack alongside Kimya Dawson's folksy irony. I realized today after going through my inbox that we've exchanged some very charming e-mails, which is why it's a shame that this wonderful, wonderful song I'm posting is the one that spurred me into action. It made me recall one unofficial pity party of mine - and though I scarcely remember it, I'm glad one [...]

Nov 5, 2008, 5:31pm Foggy Ruins of Time
Adam Balbo: Big Kid Now (2008) I could really go for a cup of coffee Adam Balbo, a folk singin' bluesman from San Francisco, California has recently released his new album/EP Big Kid Now and I must say I'm a little disappointed. Big Kid Now begins with a lot of promise on the title track springing forth with light drumming, springy guitar and Adam's unique gravely deadpan vocals uttering clever jokes a mile a minute, "You have a heart; it's in your chest/On Tuesdays, you put on your Sunday best/You can use a fork; [...]

Adam Balbo - Big Kid Now

Sep 10, 2008, 1:11pm Song, by Toad
Adam Balbo - Big Kid Now There's a lot in my inbox at the moment, but very little indeed that I am finding terribly exciting. Fortunately an old favourite of mine (well, one album into his career, but you know what I mean) has delivered a six-song gem of low-fi, slightly off-beat songs that cheer my awkward little soul. I loved Adam's last record, as much for the completely no-frills recording as for the intelligent, perspicacious and occasionally venomous lyrics. This is no different, reminding me of Bob Dylan if anyone. It's difficult to write songs with wit, I find. [...]
