Bill Oddie, for those of you who don't know, is a legendary British television birdwatcher - twitcher as they're known. He is also the subject of one of the most famous of all mondegreens: Madonna's "Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body". Anyhow, as a legendary feather flutterer it seemed only appropriate that his name should adorn a podcast entirely made up of bands with ornithological names. We have everything here, from the albatross to the gull to the guillemot to the owl to the sparrow to the pigeon. Honestly, this podcast could have been twice the length that it is, there were just so many appropriate bands - no Flock of Seagulls, for example, no Sparrow & the Workshop, no Sheryl Crow. So I hope
you enjoy it. While you're listening to this, Mrs. Toad and I will be
enjoying the End of the Road Festival, and hopefully getting a few
interesting interviews in for you all. It'll be my first ever
attendance as a legitimate press person, so I am feeling very full of
myself at the moment, but with a bit of luck I'll justify the inflated
sense of self-importance and bring back some fine bits and pieces for you to enjoy in the next week or two. 01. Hate Beak - Feral Parrot (02.27) |
