Toadcast #148 – The Slobcast

Nov 13, 2010, 6:02pm Song, by Toad
Toadcast #148 – The Slobcast It's not going to surprise anyone at all that I am being an absolute slob today, is it? Mrs. Toad got back from Australia around lunchtime, and after a few hours of pottering about she crashed out with jetlag, so I snuck off to record the podcast. I am sure that soon enough she will wake and start demanding attention and general servitude soon enough, so I better get this over with quickly. After that I am going straight back to bed to watch stupid films while my sweetheart dozes by my side, awaking occasionally to tell me [...]

Weekend Wrap Up: Skinny Genes

Jul 19, 2010, 11:34am Kick Kick Snare
I saw the movie Inception on Friday with Chris, Jordan and Ryan. I must say, it definitely wasn't The Last Airbender. Only because Inception was incredible and something I'd recommend to people I respect. It was all things gummi bears, donuts and spooning. I didn't end up catching Die Antwoord's show on Saturday for reasons [...]

A New Coat of Paint

Jan 5, 2010, 12:57pm A Town Full of Losers
A New Coat of Paint It's the start of the new year so I've decided to do a bit of re-decorating around the site. All the links to older posts and to my favourite sites around the web are now at the bottom of the page. I've also gone for a different layout and background. Over the next few weeks I'll be revealing the final three titles in my list of favourite albums from the last decade. I'll also be publishing three posts featuring fifty of my favourite films from that decade. And I'll also continue to post now and then about this and that. [...]

Covers Project: "A Change is Gonna Come" [Gobama]

Jan 20, 2009, 10:11am The Stranger Dance
Today's cover project choice is more "ripped from the headlines" than normal. In recognition of today's historic inauguration, we're profiling Sam Cooke's classic "A Change is Gonna Come." A civil rights anthem for decades, the song took on new importance recently when it became the de facto theme for Obama's election. Everyone and their brother chose the song for their election coverage — we certainly featured it in our election mix back in November — and although it didn't make the official Obama soundtrack , [...]

I Remember Hip-Hop

May 15, 2008, 10:23am motel de moka
I Remember Hip-Hop "Every generation has its own unique form of expression. Nothing really changes, only the people change???we are the reflection of those that came before us." It was this particular statement that truly stuck out for myself. There is such truth squeezed in-between those words. It is the discussion the older generations have about the current one that really is amusing. Mainly because it was only several decades ago that their parents were having the exact same discussion about them. I have found that this "discussion" is a right of passage for every generation. - Davey D [...]

Bettye Swann

Apr 5, 2008, 5:06pm Infrasons
Bettye Swann Née à Arcadia (Louisiane) dans une famille de 14 enfants, Bettye Swann parvint à classer deux ou trois titres dans le Top 50 à la fin des années 1960. Cette performance ne fut malheureusement pas synonyme de gloire, d'argent ou de succès ; notre donzelle devant, pour gagner sa croûte, écumer les bleds paumés du sud. Pour l'aider, elle pouvait heureusement compter sur son fidèle manageur qui, flingue en main, rappelait cordialement aux organisateurs qu'il fallait la payer à la fin du spectacle. Le chevalier se montra si serviable qu'elle finit par [...]

WEDDING TUNES REVISITED

Mar 11, 2008, 12:51am soul sides
WEDDING TUNES REVISITED Two bits of personal trivia. 1) I have never, in the 15 years I've been a DJ, DJed a wedding. The reasons are partly logistical (I don't own speakers, lights or an amp), mostly personal (I've heard enough groom/bride-zilla stories to want to steer clear). In fact, at my own wedding, we didn't even have music, something that surprised many of my friends but seriously, it never occurred to me (note: our wedding was a potluck in a friend's backyard so "low-key" would be an understatement). This all changed last Saturday night when I agreed to DJ [...]

It is now as it was then ... They didn't say anything. The man and the woman moved closer to each other, The round table between them. The stove was still on and burned the empty pot. She started to get up. One of them shot her. She leaned over the table like a schoolgirl doing her lessons. She thought about being beside him, being asleep. They took her long gray socks Put them over the barrel of a rifle And shot him. He went back in his chair, holding himself. She told him [...]

in the sun Phyllis Dillon - Make Me Yours I had something written up about this song. Something about sugar and Rice Krispies. It didn't really make sense, but I was trying to come up with some statement on how this song makes me feel. I ended up deleting it. When put into words, my comparisons seemed far too awkward to really communicate anything. But then I checked out YouTube and was surprised to find this rather unconventional video that perfectly captures everything I was trying to describe and more. But wait!--I suggest [...]

TRUST The Pretty Things S.F. Sorrow Snapper : 1968 [Buy It] Recently, I was talking to a friend of mine, and the issue of trust came up. I noted that at times in our friendship - which has spanned eight years, three cities, various jobs and relationships - she has not trusted me. "Of course," she said, like I was stupid for not noticing sooner. "I'm sorry," I said, though I was lamenting more than apologizing. Why has she not always trusted me? Well, look. It's none of [...]

I've always been a fan of bars with real jukeboxes; "Real" referring to a non digital jukebox (the kind with too many choices and no thoughtful selection). A bar's jukebox often gives a snapshot of the staff and patronage in one brief scroll through the titles they offer. This week I'm traveling away from the normal locale of the RSTB jukebox, the one filled with great garage, folk and psych singles. I decided to take a trip to another locale with a great soul jukebox and try my quarter out there. So here's what the needle laid down, a couple [...]
