This may be the limpest of all excuses I've ever had for naming a podcast. You know why it's called the Jeffcast? Because I kinda mention Jeffrey Lewis a couple of times. Oooh, yes, that makes sense. Still, sorry, I couldn't think of anything else really, off the top of my head. I suppose I am off to see Jeffrey Lewis directly after recording this, so I guess it sort of counts. He is playing a secret gig at Henry's Cellar Bar after sneaking out of the Beggars Banquet Christmas Party at the Picture House over the road. It's one of the things I love about the anti-folk crowd: you genuinely get the impression that they'd rather be playing to an appreciative crowd of their mates, rather than a bigger crowd of anonymous punters who may stand there and demand entertainment. So there you go, that's the
deal for tonight. For the rest of the weekend we're putting together
Meursault albums, ready for the official (re)launch of their record
next Friday at the Song, by Toad Christmas Party. So, after folding
and screen-printing a thousand of the bastards we'll all be well ready
for Gimme Shelter in the Caves on Saturday and a spot of Candythief
action in the Jazz Bar on Sunday. Enjoy the 48th Toadcast. 01. Yo La Tengo - Double Dare (04.12) |
