Hello, more Toadcastery. I've, erm, focussed on Dadrock for this one. Not too much of it on the playlist, fortunately, although there's a couple of well-known names on there. In my defence though, I couldn't bring myself to feature Coldplay, so I was forced into the compromise of playing an almighty butchering of one of their songs by the splendid Richard Cheese. Basically I spend most of this
podcast trying to justify the presence of so much bland music in the
charts and how the hell that came to pass. There's plenty of chatter
about how music is used as a sort of social glue as well, in which case
the quality of the stuff becomes almost secondary. There are some
really good new bands on this as well - The Velcro Quartet are
particularly brilliant, as are the songs by Mumford & Son, Yoshimi!
and Honeytrap. Enjoy responsibly. 02. The Velcro Quartet - Dead Dog's Hill (07.53) 03. Seabear - Teenage Kicks (11.17) 04. Athlete - Shake Those Windows (21.02) 05.
